HIGA's Vids

Gotta watch that 77kg video in slow motion, the weight just flies off the ground!
What a hell of place to train.

Drove down to Hood River for Thanksgiving with my in-laws.
I was in the car for 4.5 hours, then stopped at BIG GYM for a workout.

Happy Thanksgiving!

37" tall box jump video (Take #1) I was very frustrated with these attempts because I didn't stick the first attempts:

37" tall box jump video successfully! FINALLY.

40" is going to fall by the end of the year.

I weighed in at 295.8 lbs this morning, and I'm trying to jump like a Ninja.
This is the highest standing box jump I've ever done.

Aloha,

such a beast!

[HIGA MONSTER]

such a beast!

Honestly, I think the hard part of those vids was trying to land my wide ass body onto a skinny fuckin Bumper Plate.

Thats what freaked me out the most...me eating it while my daughters are watching and Wu-Tang Clan is playing in the background.

40" is gonna fuckin fall. I gotta get more plates stacked up.

SQUATS:
The current state record was 522.5 lbs.

I broke it on my opening attempt, and smashed it even further with the 2nd and 3rd attempts. (265, 285 and 295 kilos)
265 kilos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUHasFTAOzg
285 kilos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaA2-aWlc-I
295 kilos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOE5q1o6dIQ

BENCH PRESS:
The current state record was 434.5 lbs.

Wasn't sure what this was going to be like. Strongmen don't Flat Bench. I just do overhead lifting and incline benching.
Last time I flat benched was back in January. So this kinda sucked for me because I decided to do this show at the last minute.
407 lbs opener: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byl2ghiYQl4

DEADLIFTS:
The current state record was 550 lbs.

I broke that on my 1st attempt, then smashed it even more on the 3rd attempt. (250, 265 and 275 kilos) Should have gone more on my last attempt..at least the 611 lbs because my 3rd attempt was the easiest one to me.

551 lbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqhmnotWHOE
584 lbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K_uUaZnIE0
606 lbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iBFMFyfaFg

Finally, a video of inspiration by Ali McWeeney.

She wanted to do her first attempt in the Deadlift without her prosthetic leg. She also benched 165 lbs earlier in the day, but here is the video of her 100 lb Deadlift on one leg.
Think of that next time we feel tired or don't want to workout ladies & gentlemen...

Nice Vids Higa.
You look older man, what are you like 40 or something?

Have you ever thought of doing or have you done some "how to" videos?
Like how to farmers walk, yolk, log press......there must be technique involved...

Just a thought.

Keep killing it! January right?
