Yeah 225 strict is ridiculous. Mine is 180 that I did 2 weeks ago...and I am most definitely a shoulder guy. I can't imagine 2 plates strict press either.

I will say the nice thing about a gym is when you meet friends and such, they hold you accountable and you enjoy going in to socialize. Hard to motivate yourself to go alone and put yourself through those workouts if it is just exercise when it is by yourself.


This +1000. I've dropped 30 lbs since my brother moved in two houses down. We work out about every day. One of us is generally motivated and will harass the other until they get off their arse. Neither of us like to work out alone. We're thinking about getting into the crossfit and are also building ourselves a 3 mile obstacle course. Seems kinda fun. Just gonna have to get my fat arse back in a little better shape before I go all in on the crossfit.

Just read this thread. It's motivated me to get my lazy arse back in the gym. I had to put my winter coat on and it's time to get that off.

Giving 14.1 a shot today. Pretty solid at DUs and low weight/high reps of oly stuff treats me pretty well.

No idea of an estimate or what's considered "good".

First of all... Nice asses. Next, do yall go to a crossfit gym or just a regular/home gym and do the workout?

I go to a crossfit affiliate. I tried at home workouts in the past and made excuses after awhile. Now that I have a membership I make myself go and also I'm not one to workout alone. I need someone pushing me. A few weeks ago the roads were too bad to get to the box so she sent us an at home WOD, 100 burpees for time. It just wasn't the same as having someone pushing you through

Glad this thread is up, tried making this one a few days ago but old south ruined it in about 20 minutes.


Ruined? I was trying to save that thread since it got anchored for a short title.

You didn't even say thank you.

but I will tell you (and I think I've said it before so atleast you're consistent with your stories) that your numbers are insanely difficult to believe


Trust me, if you saw my endurance and pullups, it would be less hard. I am really "wide" in terms of build. I am 5'10-11 (I round up to 11 ) but I wear a 44/45 shoulder suit for instance. When I was playing FB in HS and you could see my abs I still wore a 34inch waist

Trust me, I would trade all this strength and some to be 6'2 170lbs and don't gain weight easy

As long as it isn't one of those 300$/month areas, the cost can be justified. I have a free REC center at school, low cost options around me and everything and I literally never went. Maybe twice before spring break every year.

Now I go to a place at school for about 125$/month, sucks to spend that but at the same time I sure as hell am going to get my money's worth. Every day I don't go I waste money. They have solid coaches with S&C backgrounds so I ask a ton of questions. Finally, the people there keep me going since they gve me shite if I don't.

If they are in fact true, you should a year really busting it and watching your diet and see how you could place because you have a legit shot.


If I put in the time and effort on mobility and endurance maybe to regionals but not to say the games. I would post a video I have of me doing 165x5 pretty easy but I think my future boss posts on SECr/TD and he is a Bama fan

Sorry if it comes off assholish but what you are saying is that it only justifies the cost by motivation?
