Craigor, Very impressive indeed, but I must say as equally impressive is he vertically impaired water fountain they installed for Kara so close to the squat rack!

That looked like a warm-up rep.  Now that should transfer into some big throws.

Ouch.  She said she will refrain from commenting due to your godfatherness.  I think it just shows how accomodating the local rec center can be.

Ha, no way.  I still get my poker grind (Pokerstars, obv ;-) on everyday, and train twice a week.  No one trains more than two days a week do they?  Seriously?

Hahahahahahahah! 

They had some plates at a booth at the arnold classic that were used for like the magazine shoots and what not.  So the bench had "585" on it and it was really like 200, lol.  I need some of those.  I'm feeling a 900lb. front squat soon.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!!

super sick front...knowing how craigor can grind 'em out there was definitely a good bit left.  definitely curious to see where the zercher stands.

i love the spectators on the video...the guy on the ab machine and the girl walking to the water fountain just dumfounded.  everyone in the rec center is in awe every time craig trains...which is at least twice a month

"Everyone in the rec center is in awe every time craig trains..."

I swear I stand in awe if I see someone squatting correctly with an empty bar in any gym. There's hardly any weightlifters left. Just geeks grunting on machines.

If I ever see a real weightlifter again in a gym I'm just going to stand there and applaud.

Hey!

Well that is actually true.  We train twice a week.  I personally believe that is optimal.  Anyway, we went about a consistent 6 weeks or so at twice a week and my body was beat up.  So, yes, i need a week off. 

 

and i took it. 

 

and i front skwatted 555 the next week.

Im sure there is someone in the back ran back to the local gym to tell everyone he saw some guy do 585 for 23 reps.

ROTF so true!!!  craig had to school some poor kid the other day who was doing some sort of mangled behind the leg deadlift on the smith machine.  we won't even get into his level of disgust with all the little turds who curl in the squat rack.
