I think he was trying to do like a heavy clean slo-pull and finish it with a slight DBK and extension ....
...he didn't need to hitch it the way it was moving there.
That's all I can think of
I bet what happened, is that dude said "400".
I never know what to say when rando's ask me how much I can lift. Usually it's something like "My best was X, but right now it's probably only Y." I then make some joke about asking any dude how big their dink is- you're never going to hear a small number.mbasic wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 1:59 pmI bet what happened, is that dude said "400".
Its next like the next level of "tree-fiddy back in hi skewl".
"A nice round 400? bullshit" is what that other guy thought.
-----------------
really though, its 405.
Who in the fuck would test their max at 400? (and not go the extra 5# for 4 plates).
400# is 181k or 182k ... so that doesn't even make sense either.
If a rando dood said his OHP was 310#, I'd just assume he was lying based on that alone,
and it shows he's even aware how plate math works,
and/or probably never had even stepped inside a gym.
Pfffft. I bench 24 inches and I'm not even exaggerating.broseph wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 8:45 amI never know what to say when rando's ask me how much I can lift.

Sometimes I lead with the dink joke and then tell them I bench 9 inches.
You should have seen my bench back in high school.mettkeks wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 8:57 amPfffft.

When I posted a few weeks back about my 402 DL in the PR thread, as having passed 400, it did occur to me that it was sorta lame not to wait until four plates. Since then, though, I still haven’t hit the goddamn 405.
Well, in kilos, as used in meets, it's either 182.5 kg / 402.3lbs, or 185kg/ 407.9 lbs.
Appreciate you digging me out - my pull in fact was 182.5/402.4, as I was using kgs at home. I later failed 185/407.9, then went back to the gym and switched back to lbs, and failed 405 too. I need to stop hitting my head against the wall and back off, but it's right fucking there.
Sheesh... These people!Anyone can coach a jacked up gorilla on steroids to a 750 pound sumo deadlift. More impressive is safely taking 65 year old Ms. Betty's deadlift from nothing to 200.
