Douglas Carney Posted Wednesday at 02:38 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 02:38 PM Just noticed a post from Monday about York dumbbell pairs (25lb - 55lb) for $1/pound. Gotta be a lot quicker than that to snag 50s and 55s off Craigslist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Carney Posted Friday at 12:54 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 12:54 AM (edited) @matek and @Blacksmith513 ... is this a "Loch Ness Monster" pose? Hard to tell because my forearm doesn't look anything like yours. Haven't worked out since Tuesday but still... only 14.25" = Nessie looks like she's on a diet.

It only works well with full pump , and 14.25" is honestly pretty good! Also thumb pad looks huge! Chicks dig that. When they see it they immediately think "damn I bet he can lift the blob50!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good, your forearms are bigger than mine. You'd send Nessie the other way if you crossed paths on Loch Ness. 6 hours ago, matek said: It only works well with full pump , and 14.25" is honestly pretty good! Also thumb pad looks huge!

Then I wake up and realize i was only dreaming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Carney Posted Saturday at 12:33 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 12:33 AM Incremental Increases 05-26-2023 Not exactly huge gains, but I'll take a five pound bump on the Saxon Bar and a decent first attempt on cleaning & pressing my York 85. Musical Inspiration: "Breaking the Law" by Judas Priest from the album "British Steel" released in April 1980. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted Saturday at 03:06 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:06 AM (edited) Hey Doug happy Friday, very cool video. how much dose your Saxon bar weigh. Just curious I made one a couple years ago and it weighs about 61 pounds. Edited Saturday at 03:08 AM by John Knowlton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's what I'm going off of for total weight... Edited Saturday at 04:51 AM by Douglas Carney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted Saturday at 05:04 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:04 AM That’s cool, thanks. I think I just over built mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can trust it won't fail if things go sideways. Some of my stuff feels like it's made out of old tank parts. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Carney Posted Saturday at 01:23 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 01:23 PM Moving up to the a face pick with my York Legacy 110 will be a long journey. Yesterday I was just trying to get my hands (muscles and tendons) used to the wide stretch and heavy weight involved. For me that starts with some assisted attempts and trying to simply support the weight versus picking it up from the floor. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Carney Posted yesterday at 01:28 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:28 PM Cleaning & Pressing an 18-pack for reps 05-28-2023 Kids were up early today because we're going to the pool this morning. So I thought I'd record a quick public service announcement. 1. Don't be the guy that brings/breaks glass at the pool or patio. Stick with cans, man. 2. Maybe summer is the time to put away that beloved IPA for something with lower alcohol. 3. Most importantly, don't neglect your grip strength while lounging around this summer. For me, tall cans of Michelob Ultra check all those boxes. Makes for a wider pinch and the 18-pack is a decent weight. Musical Inspiration: "More Beer" by Fear from the album "More Beer" released in 1985. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
