doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195 510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq	Discovered this today whilst browsing the intrawebs The thing that strikes me the most is that Kirk was allegedly training once per week - how many people can do that ? I think if you're someone at the upper limits of size and strength then maybe less is more - for the rest of us, actually putting some muscle on our bones helps the lifts move - and some frequency and volume can help that I remember seeing Kirk in PLUSA many years after his single ply ("I wanna hold it" ) 1000 x 2 squat - certainly he was one of the better squatters of all time - 800+ raw after "retirement" is no joke Here's the article and clips: This is never before training footage of Kirk Karwoski training for his Raw AAU Meet in 2004. I also have the footage of the meet. I will put that up in a few days. A little background here: Kirk trained and lifted in this meet "raw" , which he defines as "wearing just a belt". Kirk weighed 252 in this footage. He squats 545, 675 and 745. His last heavy squat workout was 2 weeks earlier, where he did 815x1. He was jumping 20lbs every other week in the squat. Between those weeks, he would take 80% of the planned 20 lb jump and just perform a single. He felt like this kept himself "feeling" the weight without taxing him too much. For example, if he did 700x5, and 2 weeks later planned for 720x5, he would just single 575 the week after 700x5. For the bench press, he goes, 225, 405, 445 and 485. He had a "very inflamed rotator cuff which was a nightmare". He benched 505 a month earlier. On the deadlift, he does 495, 585, 675. The week before, pulled 785.
