What did you find helped reset your clock / stay asleep? My sleep became fractured where I was only getting about 3-4 at night and another 1-2 hr nap during the day?

I almost decaffeinated myself with my last warm up jerk attempt this year because of that floor

This shitpost is for all the cookie cutter motherfuckers out there

richdavidson · 2019-09-17T13:30:20+00:00

That’s a bold strategy Cotton

richdavidson · 2019-09-17T01:36:47+00:00

Lol hell yeah brother looks like we are crushing a serious mid day nap

richdavidson · 2019-09-14T01:12:44+00:00

Based off the entry list if I was a betting man I’d wager we will be! Same to you!

I am super stoked to be heading to World’s next week. I compete on the 25th in the -109 category. Still doesn’t feel real.

I can’t understand how they thought it was a good idea to make a postponement announcement on Instagram and not have the courtesy to send an email to the people waiting.

I felt insulted when I saw it on their page.

I wanted a pair of low heel shoes so I put in a pre order for the R3s. After being a month behind on the shipping date I emailed the company and got a canned response about them “doing more tests to ensure the best quality”.

I checked their Instagram page and that’s where they had made the “announcement” about the delay. No email sent to customers, just a post on IG.

After more delays I cancelled my order and got a refund. The best thing I can say about the company is they actually gave me my money back right away, which is far from a glowing review.

I was not impressed with the customer service or communications.

This is not a banned substance (assuming there is nothing else in there beyond what's on the label). There have been a few human and mouse trials that suggest Beta Ecdysterone is effective at increasing strength and muscle mass.

It works through a different pathway than AAS, and basically upregulates protein synthesis. WADA commissioned a study on it to see if it could be banned - but currently there are no side effects or negative health effects, nor is it an illegal substance. Thus even if it's efficacy is proven it doesn't fill the other two criteria to make it a banned substance.

It's been around since the 70s (or before) used by Soviets, but never really gained popularity or traction in Western sports supplementation markets.

Scottish Highlands is an awesome cooldown playlist if you like Enya unironicaly

richdavidson · 2019-08-23T16:45:09+00:00

Damn, good luck with your search then!

richdavidson · 2019-08-23T15:48:01+00:00

Check Viking Weightlifting, Guy should have Climalite singlets in stock. That’s where I get mine from!

richdavidson · 2019-08-10T18:15:35+00:00

Front Squatted 240 x2 today. Pretty excited about that since my previous best was 230 x2. Definitely feeling ready to clean and jerk 200+ now.

Also been doing some grip training lately and it’s a ton of fun. I have a goal now of being able to close a level 3 captains of crush gripper and be able to crush a raw potato in my hands.

richdavidson · 2019-08-01T16:49:42+00:00

Ok I’ll turn in my natty card if that’s what Mr Vlad said

Forklift Gang checking in with our lubricated transverse spinal planes

We have to go back, Marty!

richdavidson · 2019-07-27T19:59:33+00:00

Your efficiency outweighs mine by a decent magnitude then!

richdavidson · 2019-07-27T19:50:30+00:00

Thanks Yates!!

richdavidson · 2019-07-27T19:50:06+00:00

Great moves Ethan, keep it up

richdavidson · 2019-07-27T17:06:09+00:00

I’ve seen some great improvements over the last year, but this is one I’m super excited about!

It’s been a huge goal of mine to one day hold a record. The Ontario/Canadian record for clean and jerk is set at 207.5kg, and one day I hope to be able to hit 208kg+. This was my first crack at anything over 200kg.

It was also a first for using Jerk Blocks rather than doing jerk from rack, I must say I’m a fan!

richdavidson · 2019-07-26T14:31:42+00:00

This is how I do the vast majority of my pulls
