Title: Proudest moment in the gym..
Post by: Brixtonbulldog on July 13, 2008, 06:48:44 PM
The first time I deaded three plates on each side using a conventional grip, no straps or belt (I had been trying for a few weeks) and when I was finally able to squat 225 for reps.  Small achievements, I know, but they meant a lot at the time.  I guess also now that I've been focusing on legs for a few months or so and my quads and hams are starting to get some decent size I feel pretty inspired and proud of that as well.  I've never really focused on legs before.

What's yours?

Absolutely.. they're such an unglamorous body part to train at first and even when well developed, most of the time they're hidden so most men have too much ego to train something that won't be seen often.

I've developed a new found respect and admiration for Platz.  Dude must be a real character.

First time benching 315lbs on flat. I only did it a few workouts two winters ago. Haven't even benched 225lbs on flat in the last 6 months... can still press 245lbs on incline. Never flat benching again.

One day in the gym I was doing hack squats and was feeling really strong.  So after a few sets I added another plate to each side.  After a couple reps I got stuck at the bottom.  Took a couple seconds to muster up all my strength but still couldn't get up.  So I took a hit to my pride and crawled out.  It was one of my most embarrassing but also proudest moments.

I bet those two plates on each side were laughing at you.

The first time I pulled 405 on the deadlift

Haven't really broken past 405 for 2 since and have opted for only stiff legged deads on leg day

Well you let the weight set down on the safety pins and crawl out, If you were a moron and didn't set the pins you scream for help.

Other thn lifting was back around 2001 I was at Golds on Sahara and Decatur and I cut a fart so bad that hung around so long I started crying I was laughing so hard.  It went all the way from the drinking faucet to the bench press area.  Everyone that walked in that area just went nuts.  This one girl made such a hilarious face.  I swear I will never forget that moment.  I am very proud.  When I finally inclined over 500 was also pretty cool

The day I realized I could clear an entire area of the gym just by wearing Tapout gear. 
I never wait for equipment anymore.  I just walk in Tapout free and when I need equipment someone is using I slide my hat on quietly, walk up behind them and grunt.  As soon as they see how jacked and tan I am they slowly lower the weights, bow down and crawl away..... backwards.
