If you’re under 200 pounds, under 18 years old, over 50 years old, female, retarded, or missing any limbs, you have the option to compete in the handicapped class. Otherwise you lift in the open class."

climber511 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Great pull!

The Natural Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Was that some Tyler Durden slash Fight Club editing there between the last two attempts?Nice pull man. Still doing strongman, too? Hahaha...Yeah, I'm just too cheap to go buy new tapes for my camera. I trained strongman some during during Jan and Feb and March, leading up to the comp, but it wasn't with the frequency I'd need to be a top amateur or pro. I don't want to train strongman so much that my deadlift max doesn't improve. I know if I got serious about just the DL, I could get 800 within two years, and sometimes that is what I want to do, strongman be damned. The progress has gone like this April '07: 606 pounds June '07: 633 pounds April '08: 672 pounds Nov '08: 688 pounds Mar '09: 716 pounds 110 pounds in 23 months. 84 pounds more to reach 800. I think 84 pounds in 2 years is possible, especially since I've learned a lot about training this past two months. So yeah. I'm always thinking about the DL and those big numbers. -Rex Quote "It would be simpler if they had two classes: open and handicapped.
