com202 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 WOW, that is Awesome, John!!! I'm planning on being in Tulsa both days for the Oklahoma Strongman. Hopefully we'll meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Incredible pulling, John! Mine was lacking last night. I warmed up, and didn't really feel "on", but tried 625 anyways, as I already had it in my head that I was going to try it. Oh well, I think I just need to come to terms with the fact that I'm good for a about two, maybe three, heavy pulls a year. I think the 575 double twelve days previous overtaxed me. I overtrain way too easily on deads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Eric- You think maybe your heavy bending is whacking your nervous system as well and not allowing you to recover? -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Walker Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Not fading out John, all of my training is being logged in my Blog. Just easier for me to do it there then to post on the board. I am going to get after 700 this Saturday and see how I do. -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably train raw one more week, then when I have issue 2 done for STRONG!, I'll go to the gym with suits & try to get close to 700. Also crated up the 1st adjustable DL handle from FBBC & cut about 100pc bending stock. All in about 75 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joehawkins Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Great lifts. You are really starting to turn on the power, although from Rick's vid he ain't slouching either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think Rick's got me whupped, though. Can't see it being more than a month for him to hit his goal, I think I'm a good 6 mo out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Beatty Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Today. Just a light day to hit a little volume as I'm pretty sore from squats from Wed. Planned to hit 505 x8 x5. On set #2, something popped in my left side below the ribs. It's a tear. Very odd location. Very uncomfortable. I tried to belt & do more, got a triple & decided that was a day. Did grip for an hour & quit. Did take a 5 3/4" FBBC bar to 2 3/4". Grand will come soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear I am not the only one trying for that damn bar! I have been stalled twice now at <1/4" from 2" and man that just pisses a guy off. Heal up man hope it is not serious. -Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks, Sean. Man, the crush on those bars is a whole different matter. Every single time I do one I'm off center, even when I mark it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smp76 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Thanks, Sean. Man, the crush on those bars is a whole different matter. Every single time I do one I'm off center, even when I mark it. I am in the same house of pain. I bent two off center and mark both of those bastards and refuse to believe that one of my arems is stronger than the other, thus the cause of the off center bend. Keep after it man. I did a couple 5.75" Hex and think it will get me to the Grand soon. Good luck John!!! Heal up and get after it. -Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Just bumping this- Beatty??? Where you at as far as reaching your goal? I am going to give 675 a go September 2nd. The Diesel Crew and I are having a "PR Day" at my house and I fully expect to get 675. 10 weeks to 700.... Watch it ride in 06'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unseenbeat Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Shit, people done got off the wagon. I figure every Monday I'll put my top heavy lower body pull here to keep myself reminded of my goals. I'd like to hit 415 conventional by October, and I'm pretty sure I will. Last week pulled 395 from 18", 405 froze just before the lockout. This week, 350 for three followed immediatelly by a quick single with 360, sumo deadlift.

Rick Walker Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 I guess it is safe to say this log has officially ended. THanks to Beatty for the Strong! Mag article and pic, as well as the hoodie. I hope you other fellas are still chasing your goals!!! Who knows what the future will bring.
