Billions of years from now when Earth is a cold, lifeless rock, and the human species is a faint echo in the memory of the Universe, it is not going to matter whether he shoots himself or not.

It matters to me.

I think conspicuous consumption of time is awesome. It lets everyone know I do what I want. And I choose to do the most frivolous and inane things imaginable.

Wutevva, I do what I want!

You will hear that cue in various forms like "stand up", "shrug your shoulders", etc. I think they are popular because if you look at slow-motion or still shots of great lifters they all get into a fully extended, shoulders-shrugged position.

I don't really like the cue because if you have enough time to think about fully standing up or shrugging your shoulders, then it's too probably too late for you to get under it. Also those positions are just a natural result of pulling the crap out of the bar. Something I think that really makes the great lifters so good is how incredibly fast they can transition from pulling the bar with max effort to getting under it. They definitely aren't thinking about shrugging their shoulders.

Occasionally you will see people, especially ones transitioning to the squat versions of the lift, that will half-heartedly pull and then try to sneak under it. In that instance I think "finish your pull" or suggesting they think about jumping backwards are useful cues.

Taner's speed here is blinding

I hate the cue as well. I wanted to verify my rage was well placed. It just tilts the **** out of me when I miss a lift for a reason I clearly understand and someone gives me some dickbag cue in English.

Some people have a need to come up with an explanation for any missed lift.

do you guys have people at your gym who remind you of h&f regs? i have a kyleb, a parlay slow, and a jonfon at my 24hr fitness. i may have seen a smiley yesterday but it was the first time.

the kyleb is tatted up and does bro exercises, which is weird.

the parlay slow is very weak but has the same head shape and really light brown buzzed hair.

the jon fon is uncoordinated like the real one but has some pretty decent guns and chest and tan. he has no back so his shoulders are rolled forward pretty bad.

hm, there's a thremp who does a lot of limited ROM chins and has jacked arms

uh my current workout partner is a balding jewish guy in the seattle symphony who has interest in olympic weightlifting, so i doubt that is any of you

Pretty sure the third pull isn't about bar speed, right? Seems like at that stage it's more about hip speed.

interested to learn more about the doppleEH

i have a couple wanna be demichele's that's about it.

Theres a dude that works out in jeans, tight ones, at my gym. Dunno which one of you guys that is.

Again, dude benching 275 4 inches off his chest, and a guy squatting 375 4-8 inches from paralell. I really want to go up to them and say that that weight doesn't count, you're doing it wrong.

You should -- and post the results here.

Trouble is they both seem to be relatively strong, appear to have an idea about what their doing, nice enough guys to have around, and have spotted me before.

Id feel like a massive douche, but it would be nice to not have to watch these guys half ass these lifts.

The one on squat has done 275 bench for reps with proper depth, has like 3% bf, and hes pushing 40. The dude on bench is in high school.

Mine are pretty easy. Usually its some variant of a heinous pull and a terrible bar path. When the bar is ~8 inches from your body at chest/shoulder level, you don't really need much more than a good "wtf is wrong with you?"

Today I didn't go to train. Because I went out last night. But mirrko is sickly so dun matter. Here is his commentary over MSN on my snatch:

mirkko: ye i saw yous mistakes that you have in snatch
mirkko: trhere are many

Awesum1

lol

i'm pretty sure rich people used to get fat going on the same logic.

how can a professional musician do that stuff isn't the risk of hurting his hands/wrists too big?

I work out in child size Zubaz pants, circa 1992. Miami Dolphins colors.

I didn't see this myself per se but...

800 lb atg raw squat. New video just put up today.

so awesome

wrong thread imo, typical LC content

all 8 flat benches were being occupied by ppl who were doing everything but using the bench it was unreal ...... using it as a rest spot after doing their weak ass ROM bicep curls, laying a full towel over the bench while doing standing shoulder press in front of it, using it for dumb ab exercises ........ massive tilt inducement
