Syla5: that's log lifting for you, especially one motions

Silly thing is you can get metal logs as light as 40kg. Ours is 70kg empty. I'd hope people are pressing more than that in most gyms 
Caporegime
yeah. this is the guy though who stopped the boxing classes when they moved to the new venue due to the noise they made, even though the boxing classes built the gym in the first place.
iv tried twice to get him to hold a min stongman event or something but he wont have it as he thinks it will just upset people.
il no doubt try again in the new year.

Yeah crazy ain't it!
There are some mentally strong little blokes lately, Shane, James Ward, Carlos Reyes (100kg or so but still stupid strong). All shifting major weights!

All kinds of strong!!

I meant the Deadlift, the log looked really clean, and not a lot of over extension at all. I was suprised he needed the jerk type motion when the bar was just over his knees, as it looked like he had it easily.
Cheers!

How long did it take to bench that much? What did you start with?
The answer to that question probably isn't as interesting/useful as you'd hope.
I first benched maybe 5-6 years ago, and was probably doing around 80kg for touch and go reps.
For time spent actually trying to shift more weight properly, probably the last 2.5 years (adding around 40kg paused), but even then I've been injured for a substantial amount of that and have had to build back up a few times.

will take a min of 3 yrs for most normal humans to build the stability especially in the shoulders to handle 145+ at least in my opinion. Most wont see north of 150, bodyweight regardless, any sooner.

There are few things manlier than Atlas Stone lifting.
To end the year, a stone session
Warmup was some deficit stiff leg deads:
60kgx5
60x3
110x3
150x3
Realised I needed a ****, had to go over road to the brother in laws and wake him up, we don't have a toilet in the unit. Can't start stones and then poo as takes to clean yourself of tacky!
Tacky up. Pain starts as your skin pulls off your forearm. Nice!
105kg stone, lap then stand
Cool, ready.
120kg stone to 48" for reps
140kg to 48" - PB, **** yeah!
140 again
120kg to 51" for 3 reps. Awesome!
120 to 51", 140 to 48"
And that's me ruined. Love stones! Not many reps in a few hours, but stones isn't about doing lots.
Pub for kingsize ribs and chips
Train strongman, eat strongman, walk like a 90 year old pensioner. Now where's my walking stick?!

I tend to go to the butchers (Sunday market) or there's a local Chinese wholesaler than do chicken for relatively cheap.

My best achievement since starting SM training tbh
Little Joe (94kg natty) got the 160 to 48" for a huge PB, we all almost lost our voice shouting him on for that one

I couldnt fathom lifting 140kg in stone format fantastic mate
