Nice to have the Matt’s back as well
Trying, life got busy and getting back into working on the truck and my lifting.
Squat and deadlift are coming along nicely, still can't bench for the life of me :roflmao:
Starting a new run of Candito monday...gotta go anger the legs a bit to break em back in. Now that I'm back in the shop it should become easier to lift vs 24/7 fs. We shall see but I'm not posting #s as they are way under you heavy hitters

Hit my accessories tonight. Finally quit being a lazy ass and loaded up the farmer carries bar. FML, I know how Jessy can hang onto 826 or hit 655 for 8 with no straps ever... My f-ing hands and forearms were blowing up
Just put your head down and dig Brock. It'll come back fast. And numbers don't matter here bud, we are all on our own journey with the iron, some are just father down the road:thumb:
Was going Monday, literally getting the truck to leave the house. Had taken the preworkout and was in the zone. Boss calls and I had to go load a truck at the shop. Hopefully go ruin my legs tomorrow...not looking forward to the DOMS

Y’all over here doing these crazy amount of weight haha I’m tickled to death that as skinny as I am (5’11” 150lbs) I could dead lift 200lbs last night
Didn’t know you’d got into lifting.
Stick with it, it’ll come in time.
I’ve got some good pics to post soon. Found some of me from 8 years ago when I’d started my fitness journey.
There is a great quote “never compare your day 1 to someone else’s day 365”
Most in here have been lifting for years.
I take it one day at time, some days I feel like a monster and some I’m just treading water...
Keep at it, ask questions and don’t worry about others, just your progress and goals.

Little history on the Húsafell Stone
The Húsafell Stone is a legendary lifting stone located in Húsafell, Iceland.[1] The stone weighs 186 kg (409 lbs)[2] and is kept near a goat pen built by pastor Snorri Björnsson over two hundred years ago.[1][unreliable source?]
The stone has been used as a test of strength by either simply lifting the stone, or by lifting and carrying the stone around the goat pen where it is located. The Húsafell Stone is also named Kviahellan ("pen slab") by pastor Snorri, who used the stone as a door to his sheep pen. The test to achieve fullsterkur ("full-strong") status is to lift the stone up and carry it the 50 metres around the perimeter of the goat pen.[3] Successfully walking the full distance around the pen is considered a widely recognized feat of strength in the field of stone carrying, and is referred to as achieving fullsterkur status.[1]
Fullsterkur status refers to the weight of the actual stone; for this status the stone must weigh a minimum of 155 kg (341 lbs). Hálfsterkur ("half strength") stones weigh up to 104 kg (228.8 lbs), hálfdrættingur ("weakling") stone up to 49 kg (107.8 lbs), and amlóði ("useless") stone up to 23 kg (50.6 lbs).

Men have lifted the Húsafell Stone to different heights and attempted to carry the stone as a test of strength for hundreds of years.[4] When the event was featured at the 1992 World's Strongest Man competition held in Iceland and using the actual Húsafell Stone, it proved to be a very popular and influential event in the sport of strongman.[4] Canadian strongman Gregg Ernst set a world record at the 1992 WSM by carrying the Húsafell Stone 70 metres.[5] The record was broken during Icelands strongest man 2017, where the 2018 World's Strongest Man[6] Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson carried the stone for 90 metres.[7]
In recent years, replicas are created (of varying weights and sizes) and used in events at strongman competitions all over the world.[4]

Thanks guys. A good friend of mine got big into lifting a couple years ago and sorta fell off a while back and wants to get back at it and wants a gym buddy. Gonna be trying to bulk all winter and then start cutting around spring maybe. I’m pretty happy for my size right now. Goals are 175-180lbs. Don’t wanna be too swole. Haha
Perfecting my form and not overdoing it for sure. Correct form is the only way to see the right results and not get hurt. Been there when I used to lift a little in school. Absolutely no jerking and trying not to drop anything. Breathing. Back straight.
I get so tired of people dropping weights in my gym. We have so many bent bars because of it. I still do powerclean. About every other week and I don’t even drop the weight doing that complex move. Really pisses me off when the guys deadlifting do it.
This gym has the pads in case you do want to drop them. But the release is just important as the lift. Sure you can lift that heavy weight but it takes just as much to keep the proper form going back down to start position.
