I was nervous af first going to my powerlifting gym cause of how strong some of the guys were but took in everything they told me and took my squat from 385 to over 500 in less than a year and most of my shoulder pain from bench is gone. Now they’re the best training partners I can ask for and helped me get into powerlifting and got me ready for my first meet which was in March
@@WenningStrength please do one on muscle domination ie in the past when i did my 200 kg deadlift at 60 kg i notice my quads did more work .Now i feel my hamstring are doing thhewrko after my program to bulk the hams( my quads became small ) ,Can you do a video on this please to cure this imbalance so i can do 250 kg.My other body parts as well
I went to WestSideBarbell this January, that talk about anxiety waiting for the lifters to come through is so surreal. When I went the first person I met was Burley Hawk, I’m 19 and I never seen a human so big in my life
@@hogleg8103 my first time using a GHR, SSB, and RH(didn’t have those at my old gym). I got fucked(so much new stimulus), but also hit a deadlift PR and really learned what going for something meant.
@@mythoclaust1283, Cool.... what'd you deadlift for your "P.R.", 220lbs? 100lbs of bar weight with 100lbs of reverse tension bands?😁😅 You must be strong 😂
@@mikevaldez7684 I was a wrestler and lifted with the MMA guys who were there at the time. I got to train with stipe miocic and Matt brown. Shit on WSBB all you want but they have amazing athletes. But I maxed out at 650 on deadlifts(conventional )no tension :). And 500x2 against black minis as well @195. Bench 335 to a Usapl standard and squatted 515 no tension when I was there
Love these stories!! Sometimes it sucks, but I like training with guys and gals that are stronger and more skilled then me!! It just makes you a better athlete!! Thanks for sharing 👍
Crazy how college educated lifers realize they didn’t learn crap form school hahaha , we need an AA style meeting with Louis , Dave , yourself , Chuck (doubt it) and others. Would be hilarious 😆
