mobsterone Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Watching with interest. Do NOT be the greatest man with potential NEVER to have won a competition. No slacking, no injuries, no excuses. I'll be (virtually at least) cracking the whip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 What is an "Olympic no,no/no squats" if you don't mind my asking? Also, the 110kg one arm clean, was that on a barbell!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJames Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hello Arturo, A no ,no,no squat was a term used by Randy Strosen to say nospotters , no belt and no something else which has completely gone out of my head at the minute !!! I used an Eleikio olympic bar with no collars (a bit stupid that bit !!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 The other "no" maybe means "no knee wraps" ? Very strong stuff!! I still remember your Youtube video "Chris James strength feats vol. 1" with the 400 pound wrist curls. I've been waiting for what seems like years for the Volume 2 !!! Maybe soon it'll be up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJames Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 My mate put that one on youtube , didn't really really want him to.I had cramp half way thru.My sons read the comments and they are not very nice, so it put me off putting any more on. I have got some videos on this board on the old gallery i think. Chris Jenkins , one of my training partners, did put one on youtube of me one arm rowing a solid 2" dumbbell weighing 220 lbs for 5 reps , but it came out sideways !! I have not got a clue how to post videos but my son can , so if you like i'll start putting some on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJames Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 While i was lying next to my wife , listening to her snoring , i had the revelation , i wonder if i could clean and jerk 167.5 kg on a 2" bar in the fashion of Norbert Schemansky and the great John Davies. I would have to learn how to split clean and the great timing of these lifters, but it would be a challenging project and something to do with my spare time !!!!Sad i know. So , off to the gym today to start a little training program towards it. I'll keep a training log going if anybody is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbcx6pmw Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Unfortunately most strength videos on youtube seem to attract moronic comments, mostly 15 year old keyboard warriors I guess. I'm sure more than a few people would like to see some more of your strength feats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hello Chris Good to see you back at it mate. Did you ever put those Railway wheels overhead that the Holle boys made that would make a great video also how bout pressing a millenium dbell.

Jose Jara Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Chris, nice to see you posting again. I think that the 167.5 kg 2 inch clean and jerk it's very possible for you. In terms of weight lifted, you are in the same league of Schemansky and Davies, and beyond. Looking forward to see you soon, my friend.
