Lifting this shot to my mouth over the audacity of micromanaging assholes today. 😘
@TxTom,
Those curls make you feel strong. But with that kind of weight, it’s more about the number of reps, in my experience.
For strength
@MissAdventurous Mind if I drink next to you? I probably owe you a shot, or several 😔
Back when I was playing football, athletic and in good shape? I could deadlift 240 kgs and squat 185 kgs. Now that I'm in my 40s with a broken arm and really soft in the middle? I get the groceries in one trip from the car.
Currently: 190 but progressing to the 200’s
I’ve never tried to max out. I generally do 3 to 4 sets of 12. I had a killer bicep and back workout on Wednesday. Went on a hike today. Tomorrow is shoulders and triceps, my favorite day at the gym :-)
Not a lot with my arms due to injuries, but over my back/center of gravity a la contact improv? At least 250 lbs.
When I first was introduced to CI in college I had multiple girls less than half my size (both height and weight - I'm almost 6' and was 225 lbs, most of them were under 5'6" and 150 tops) able to lift and carry me across the room easily. The very first time I did CI someone jumped at me out of freakin nowhere and I managed to catch her 😅 It still scares the shit out of me to be lifted off the ground like at ALL, but I'm always amazed when someone manages.
Examples of lifting in CI, showing how center of gravity compensates for size differences, plus they're just fun to watch 😁:
ive done carries with 95, but those were 3 sets of like 20 steps, idk my 1rep max. i wanna be able to carry like 200-250
Bro, do you even lift 🤣
@cabhood Don’t listen to the troll who just started another fake account. I hope you reach your goal. Everyone started somewhere.
For the record @FunCartel , I was just throwing out a classic line related to the thread. It wasn’t aimed at anyone- just a little levity for the conversation. Sorry if that was unclear
@fieldofdreams Understood. I think you will find that on the forums there has been a history of people making fake accounts, coming on, making attacks, and then quickly getting banned again. So clarity is important.
100% understood. I agree and by no means am trolling just putting out a classic line . After the fact understood how it could have been misunderstood 🙏
And welcome to CC!

I bench 315lbs and squat 405lbs hence the name
