Can’t really see it here, but I hyperextended my left elbow on this attempt. It’s still a bit sore, but should be fine come Monday.

Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.

BURN BAGEL BURN

[gothiccharmschool]

OH WHY NOT?

[harukami]

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

[acabosetotal]

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

[token-white-friend]

I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD

[noodle-dragon]

The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.

ACLU HAS SENT OUT LAWYERS. MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE.

Please protect yourself.

Hello

It is I. I am still lifting weights overhead!

[weightsoverhead]

SQUATS

Did my first post-surgery squats yesterday. 30kg 4x5 and my quads are on fire. Some power clean & jerks too. Olympic lifts feel so awkward.

BACK FROM MY TRIP

I SAW SO MUCH IT WAS GREAT BUT I MISSED MY FLIGHT HOME..... BUT I’M FINE SO Y’KNOW. READY TO START LIFTING AGAIN

[sociallyawkwardbuffguy]

You know what I hate

When my routine tells me to ohp less than 1 plate

[sociallyawkwardbuffguy]

Worse than benching 2 plates

[in-it-for-life]

“Just letting everyone know that this is isn’t my normal weight. I swear I do more than this, you guys see me all the time doing more. I just need everyone to know that this is how my programming is structured and I am capable of far more than this. So please understand, this is just the routine. Wait until Week 4 Day 3 and see me then.”

[sociallyawkwardbuffguy]

^ she gets it

[kryptoniangradegains-deactivate]

One thing that bothers me a lot with new lifters/Powerlifters is that they constantly say things like “I’m not strong enough to compete” “I’m weak/weak for my weight class” “I don’t have respectable numbers and I’m weak.”

Alright, knock that shit off. I know powerlifting is all about moving max weight and people get caught up in these massive lifts and all the ego bullshit but don’t sit there and belittle your accomplishments and lifts because you’re comparing yourself to other lifters/lifts/totals. 

I’ve literally seen lifters squat 80lbs as final attempt. That lifter started to get stuck at their sticking point midway up and everyone stood up and yelled “UP!” and “You got this come on!” because people cared more about seeing someone do well for themselves than something like totalling Elite. 

Because realistically not a lot of people will ever total or place elite. So, if you constantly sit and look down on yourself and your individual strength levels then it’s going to be very long and miserable journey. You can do that or take pride in your lifts and, for those wanting to compete, put up a total and work to beat that total as you get stronger.

People talk shit about Pat Mendes for testing positive and then praise guys like Klokov and Ilya.

How stupid are you?

[weskrongden]

Pat got caught twice and hasn’t even been to the Olympics (much less medaled). They are all likely on dat dere but Pat was apparently just really bad at hiding it and wasn’t able to deliver.

If he was in the NFL or NBA people would be roasting him online and he would be a meme. I’d say the criticisms are valid.

[redwhiteasrthvdryhndjacked]

Why? Because his country can’t afford buy offs like others can?

Pat hasn’t been to the Olympics because USAW and USADA can’t be bought off. Pat snatched 207kg at 20 years old, which would be the current youth world record. He would have no doubt made the Olympics AND medaled had he had the support (drugs, money, corruption) other countries have.

If you criticize Pat for using then stop watching the sport all together, because everyone is.

[weightsoverhead]

Everybody always talks about how the other countries buy the DA’s off, but yet they get caught the same way, but they also achieve something. Mendes still hasn’t achieved shit and he’s gotten busted twice. Hasn’t come close to the numbers he has posted in training. Has nothing to do with him being on stuff, he’s just a bad competition lifter, imho.

I’m really boring if I’m not comfortable with you
