I think I'm gonna go tomorrow. Are you still going? What will you be wearing so I don't have to be like "Um, who's fa_jing?"
I'll be the skinny guy in the anabolicextreme.com t-shirt who's deadlifting less than everyone else

Hey, I met Ironfist! His shoulders are not "too big" and I didn't check this site so I didn't recognize him until after the meet. LOL
For any interested, I pulled 375, 405, and 425 lbs (w/belt and chalk) and did 8 strict tactical pullups. Mucho fun. That's a huge PR for me. There was another dude lifting the exact same weights as me, which really inspired me to succeed.
What were your lifts again Iron?

I met fa_jing. He's a strong guy!!
At a bodyweight of 160 I pulled 300 and then 325 with chalk but no belt. I was feeling the 325 a bit too much in my back so I skipped my 3rd attempt.
18 pullups
My shoulders didn't look too big cuz they were hidden by a t-shirt. If I was wearing wife beater you would've seen what I mean
I think my friend got most of everybody's lifts on video, and I think he was talking to Shawn about getting them posted on dragondoor or something. He was recording from the side so you can't exactly tell how much weight was on the bar, but it will still be cool to see our form.
My favorite part, other than meeting everyone, was having Ed Coan's chiropractor check my squat and bench press form. Since I never had a coach when I was learning, I taught myself the lifts with the help of books, and it was good to get approval from a chiropractor who also lifts who knows what they should look like.

That's cool! Hey I'm tripping the main reason I didn't recognize you is that you were wearing a "bodybuilder.com" or something T-shirt. I thought that was totally contrary to your philosophyPlus I figured since it said Trainer you were a PT.
Wannabe MMA guy
Nah, it said "Staff" because I'm on their writing staff. It's anabolicextreme.com. It's primarily a bodybuilding website, but there's all sorts of weightlifters there. I like bodybuilding to an extent, but my metabolism doesn't like it. So, I prefer "powerbuilding" which is like a combination of powerlifting and bodybuilding. In other words, I want to develop muscles so I look proportional and athletic, but I want to be really strong, too.

For AE? Part-time I guess. I'm just a freelance author. I have a full-time job where I live.

Hey, do you want me to send you some stills of your lifts? Or do you have AIM? I could email vids of your lifts and your pullups.

Sounds like a cool meet. Congrats on competing guys.

Oh yeah, thanks man please send whatever you've got of me. fajingk@yahoo.com Guess your friend didn't film the Kettebell demo?
Can't wait to see the video of me deadlifting, at home with the sound turned up. I set a gym record in primal screaming!!
Wannabe MMA guy
The DL vids are kind of hard to see cuz they're from the side so you can't really see how much weight is being used, but the side angle allows you to see your form well. Your screaming may be loud, but nothing is louder than my "controlled drop" of my weights after my 2nd attempt
I was gonna start a new thread called like "Pics of IronFist and fa_jing at the meet," and post some stills. Is that cool with you?

Google's email (gmail.com) gives you 1 gig of space. If either of you need an invite to get an address (they aren't given to the general public yet) I have a couple invites I can send out.

sure, post the pics, fine by me. Thanks Iron. I can send up to 10 megs too so I assume I can receive the same. The pullup vid isn't as important. Though I'd still like to see it.
LOL @ my apparent 155 lb deadlift with a yell!
I remember that, you threw the weight down! Hey I saw you have great flexibility - maybe you are too flexible? I mean OLY lifters are known for being flexible, and I saw a WSM competitor drop into the splits after the stone lift...but all the same, for some people being too flexible can lead to injury or just lower your ability to lift heavy. Pavel recommends to be only as flexible as you need to be either to perform a task or to feel healthy.
