ibendbarbells - cheers man, thanks for advice, an push press is standing overhead press from the front, but using leg drive, only your not allowed to dip under the bar like you are with a jerk

Yeah any links containing videos or pictures are allowed as long as theres nothing illegal or anything in there (such as videos of steroid abuse or w/e but from the sounds of you you wouldnt anyway.)
Where in england are you from? im from there too.

Thats the only video I have done i want to do barbell rows video when im repping 225.. Anyways thats me doing 255 for 8 reps. Im on a slight decline though so its not that impressive, im sure i could do it 10 times now.
Welcome to the forum man, You made need to wait a couple years though to compete in the strong man... Those guys have power lifted for 10 - 15 years.. I think if you waited 3 - 4 years you may have a shot, Maybe just 2 more years.
I think an olympic lifting routine would help you the most in strong man and not a power lifting routine. But im not sure those guys are mostly gaining strength in their hands their squats deadlifts and over head press.. Standing military press is going to help you 10 fold.
You should start a journal on DB

twisted - ok, theres the link then, any vids will be on there, an im from Cheshire in north west England
ibendbarbells - thanks for the welcome
you definately have to be above average strength or its dangerous an you just wont move anything, but i personally dont see the need in waiting too long to compete, theres some novice contests that are not as heavy as the opens
im thinking of traveling down south in july to do a novice contest, last years events are listed below
i feel i would do ok at these events, i know 90 kilos each hand is nothing to me on farmers because ive done 248lbs a hand for a long distance with no put downs or problems + it was my 1st time doing it, im going for 275lbs a hand next time
i also think i would have a good chance of doing well in any grip event as that is something ive been training very hard.
I work in a carpet store warehouse so i do strongman training a lot, picking up odd shaped objects an moving with them is what the job is, an its gets heavy too - ive lifted 600lbs carpets stone style, so i may be half decent at lifting stones when i come to do them
I am planing to go train on all the equipment over the next month or 2
Event 1)
Arm Over Arm Pull
4X4 Vehicle (2.5 to3 tons Approx)
Event 2)
Yolks Carry
200 Kg (100 Kg a side)
Event 3)
Farmers Walk
180 Kg (90 Kg In each hand)
Event 4)
Metro Car Flip
To be flipped as quickly as possible over 25 meters
Event 5)
Deadlift Hold
Small Vehicle (0.5 Tons)
Event 6)
Crucifix Hold
12Kg (In each hand)
Event 7)
Southwest Medley
Barrel Load (X4 40 to 60 Kg)
Tyre Flip (X2 Flips)
Duck Walk (150 Kg for 25 Meters)

You're much better than me in everything except squats, however if by 'full-squats' you mean 'butt to the floor' that may make up for the difference. I've squatted 315 for max previously, going slightly lower with the squat than the point which my thighs are straight forward, parralelll to the floor. My last leg workout, I squatted 345 but I really had to struggle it up and had to use some foot and lower leg drive to stand straight.
I'm 5'11'', my weight is fluctuating between 265-280, and I'm 26 years old, I've been lifting weights since I was about 14 which I guess adds up to 12 years.
I haven't used belts or much of anything artificial barring a power cage, for years

nice lifts fat2beefed, especially for 9 months proper training - just wondering if you have used roids as you dont mention if you have or not?

Twisted link, when I took it about two weeks ago my bf% was 19.4%. Its weird, b/c I don't have a really obese looking build and face, but my waist is several inches bigger than it should be for my weight. I'm not like super huge in terms of either fat or muscle, but I do have a pretty thick neck. I'm not one to post my measurements all the time, since, as I've stated before my waist is pretty big. But anyway right now I'll post the measurements I took last week
Upper Arm:14.9''
waist; 48.5''
Chest:49.5''
Thigh:27""
Calf:17''
and my neck measurement which I just took today:18.5''
I guess I'm built much better for powerlifting than bodybuilding, but I do intend to get my bf% back to about 15-16% in the next 3-4 months
The results of my training seems to bear this out, as I started getting stronger much faster when I cut my reps down to 4-8 per set from 6-10 per set

yeah fat 2 beefed those are some impressive lifts, as far as the squat goes though, as long as you have a good power rack (aka power cage) heavy squats should be safe. I think new york barbell has a sumo rack for $130-140.
I actually bought one.
Or their full models in which both sides of the rack go above 6'' tall are somewhere around $200.
Or any good gym should have a full power rack.

2Kong2, have you ever tried the Kaptains of Krush grippers? On my best day ever I came close to making the handles touch on a no.2 left handed.

mikeb - it is my goal to eventually have the strongest hands in the history of the human race, so i do lots of grip work, which includes the grippers yes
i now use heavy grip grippers for the most part but my best with captains of crush grippers is #3 for 8 reps with a set right hand / 1 rep left hand, an 2 full no set reps right hand

I used dianabol as a teenager too.. although barely any then i studied up on it and threw it away. Your probably only used so much as to spike your test levels and not totally shut off the natural test production as some juicers do when they get off a large cycle of steroids.. Still not a good ideah But it may have had a slight affect on your strength although not much. Most of your strength was probably just due to the fact that you started training and stuck too it.

I feel the same as you.. at first i wasnt going to run another cycle at all but im actually thinking about taking another cycle when i reach 220lbs then ill bulk with the cycle to 240 and thats my goal weight ill probably lose 5 and be a lean 235 or so... Im not nearly as tall as you so i dont need to weigh over 235 - 240 i dont want to be that big my frame is small.

o and 40mg per day 4 weeks is actually a standard dose of dianabol. Although your sources were probably crap because you did refer to it as D-bol and not the actual drug name.
