Funky_monkey said:I built up an impressive collection of videos on a certain website. 12 pages of favourites. New rules however mean that unverified profiles had their videos removed  I built a nice partition wall in the garden for stuff, but ended up filling that with breezeblocks. Side of the house is much clearer. Got 5 chickens and a rooster. More gardening (only edible stuff, of course) Yaman, what’s your PB fish (either by weight or just best catch) since you’ve been out there? I’m more than a little jealous of your access to fishing opportunities. Do you sell any btw? | |||

| Does anyone know which channel/ dates WSM 2020 will be on this Christmas? Also, I've somehow managed to avoid finding out who won, so please avoid mentioning in this thread if possible. | |||
| » Strength decline with age? (Go to post) | 16-12-2020 @ 21:44 | ||
| Yaman I must point out that my use of ‘dead’s’ to refer to deadlifts was a mistake on my phone’s part. I realise that grammar is a very serious matter. I did of course mean ‘deads’. | |||
| » Strength decline with age? (Go to post) | 16-12-2020 @ 21:38 | ||
| Yaman, I’d be surprised if you’re experiencing age-related decline yet, although I suppose it’s possible. Having said that, I can’t remember what back/ knee(?) injuries you’ve had in the past, but I guess that could influence dead’s as well as squat. I gave myself a minor back scuppering (1 slightly bulged disc - “consistent with age” I was told) which has made squatting difficult, although box squatting is OK. Am sure I could still get stronger than I was before on deads, but wouldn’t feel comfortable due to back as poundages past a certain level. How about your body weight? Are you as heavy as you were when you did those numbers before? I’m currently getting more satisfaction from almost having visible abs at 40, than I did from being slightly stronger than a regular gym goer in my early 30s. | |||

| I’ve recently been rewatching all the old WSMs including heats - starting at 94 anyway. A couple of things have struck me: -Some of the early events/ equipment were soooo dangerous (eg. Horrible-looking anchor for distance carry/ medley) -When Z popped up he was already so good, mixing it with the best in multiple events -Pudz (and Dyymek even more so) so athletic. There’s one year where they’re all standing wait deep in a pool at the start of their intro scene and have to climb out. Dymek did a two footed jump out of nearly waist deep water -Pudz was so light when he first appeared (about 123 I think) and was so much bigger (just over 140) by 2007. He looked huge at that weight with his frame. -As mentioned above Magnus Samuelson also transformed himself. Lean 120ish to a huge 150Kg guy. -Mark Westerby.... maybe one of the most naturally gifted in terms of size and strength genetics. Apparently hadn’t lifted a weight until age 38!! Also won squat in one of the qualifiers. | |||

| Sorry but so had to lol at your water woes for a moment. Was quite an amusing image. I hope all’s well though. | |||

Post Edited: 01.11.2020 @ 16:01 PM by Pikefingers Is anyone else following Andy Bolton’s progress? He’s just posted a video of him doing 300X5. It’s so impressive IMO given all the health problems he’s had. He’s apparently also a lot lighter now. https://mobile.twitter.com/andybolton1008/status/1322923988054663169 | |||

| Wayne, I saw this and was immediately concerned about your training... https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1X6UeP9EF_MaDE2OKnP0oaFfuHsGYvmmvOu99xx6sves/edit?usp=sharing Argos is getting rid of its catalogue. Will you still be able to train or do you have enough old ones lying around? | |||

jt said: With the lifter actually taking the weight? I remember seeing Andy Bolton going for a squat (think it was 520 he wanted) and finding out once it was loaded onto his back that it was 560. | |||
