At your level, it's absolutely necessary! Glad you're back around. This place seems like a ghost town lately!
How's the bicep??
Has a pretty gnarly scar, but that's about it. It's all good now, I barely think about it other than trying to get the left to curl as much as the right still

BOSS, do you have a rep range you like to stick with when it comes to shoulder work? I guess more specifically military pressing and OHP? Most of my dumbbell work for shoulders sticks around 10-12 reps and generally keep my actual shoulder pressing movements between 4-10.

You’ve got very respectable lifts. Very. Unfair to call you
the guy in the Program. Your a power lifter not a bodybuilder.
Joe Ladnier. One of the original Cage lifters. Is the only person
I can think of that was a National champion BBER. Then at just
19 won the PL Nationals. Beating the ICON Fred Hatfield.
2100 plus at 220. With garbage gear. Same day weigh ins. Walk out squats
Same bar all 3 lifts. That takes nothing away from today’s lift.
This has been and will be argued forever. My point is that the Lad
is still the only Animal to be at the top of BOTH. I was the first deadlift only guy.
Now many companies try to copy the Cage. Lifters like you make it impossible!
My boy Higa. Damn Vinny must be 80! Jk. I bet most don’t know we tattooed a few
LEGAL glutes one year. The AC ticketed 150k. Before 1000 on Sunday one year.
It’s not just about the weight but relating with the people. I get emails 13 years later from the FORVM lol
I’m in the HOF. I’ve nothing to prove.
I pulled elite pounds all 4 ways
Both hook. Reg grip. Sumo and conv. It mattered to ME
I pulled 3 times body weight in 6 classes. It mattered to ME. In the Cage it’s about the FANS
FANS ARE FAMILY. It won’t last forever. Smell the roses.
I hope you get 20 more man. I really do.
I still get asked to moderate and write. My undeniable GOATS

Yours? I’m curious to see. It’s not about
now vs then. It’s about apples to apples
NOBODY has sniffed EITHER. Apples to apples
Your thoughts? I respect them
For me. Partying I stopped after the Corps
Sparring. Krav Naga is a bigger high than partying for ME
But that’s put food on my table for 20 years too.
Best of luck. Btw. You’re the only sumo guy I’ve seen that takes
advantage of the stretch reflex at the bottom. It’s VERY tough to teach sumo
Guys watch his start. In slow mo
It may look minimal. Remember. Failure at lockout is just 3 issues
Technical
Strength
Lack of speed
You CAN out run the lock out
Stretch reflex HELPS. With proper knee. Shin. Torso placement. Watch Dan
He does 30 things. At EXACTLY the same time EVERY REP. That’s KEY!!
Don’t believe me? ASK HIM YOURSELF. FOR THE RECORD IVE NEVER MET HIM!
Dan. I’m Rock. It’s my pleasure.
