Where is everyone #5

the port sissies did not want to use their cranes - something about winds

I was out at the port this morning - they are just not adventuresome

 

I talked to a fella in Ohio that had a setup like that. He hauled for ELS. All he hauled was coils. He said he was 110-115k every trip. Hauled two coils every trip. Definitely a nice setup

 

Oh yer not even loaded yet !?

 

taking a little trip over into western PA. in the morning. Got a line on a needle nose KW. might add to the collection.

 

Do you have access to a squat rack? And do you have a spotter? 1 leg will support 2x bodyweight, so both legs together will be able to handle 4 times your weight. So, to kill the legs, it's gonna require lots of the iron. And you definitely don't want to try negatives without a spotter, because when the legs go on strike and finally fail, that weight is going to come crashing down.

And there are a host of other exercises not dealing with the legs, but support all that weight for the squat.
-farmer's carry (I like em for heavy cardio, grip strength, self discipline and build the traps. It prepares the lungs to be able to breathe while lifting heavy)
-deadlift (2nd best exercise to the squat itself)
-shoulder shrugs
-any and all core exercises
-leg press (I had a 115 lb girl up to pressing 1000lbs.)
-power cleans



If you are trying to set a new PR on squats, overall physically and mentally, you must be feeling awesome. I used to ask my guys in the gym this question when they wanted to downplay their accomplishments to mine and say that they can't lift as heavy as I could:

Q. How do you know when you're lifting heavy weight?
A. If you drop that weight and it has a good chance of instantly killing you, it is heavy.

I always preferred the free weights. No machines. You want to build that balance that lifting free weights require. Also, you've probably noticed that your stabilizer muscles will fail before your strength fails. A good spotter will see this and will help you to STABILIZE the weights so that you can continue until the strength fails.

Lots of people in the gym believe that it takes a long time to reach those fitness goals. It takes a short time when done correctly. 2, maybe 3 months. And that feeling...

 

Pics of the needle nose KW would be greatly appreciated!

Could you imagine...rocking an old needle nose on the highway? Like building a Needle Nose Monster??? I'd catch wood every time I'd got behind the steering wheel.

 

5 hour bath and we ready to ride in the morning.

 

Had a buddy drove co. Truck for els. I dont know much about them. Plus he is a job jumper and complains all the time.

 

Ever consider hanging a couple of boxes right behind the tanks on it.?

 

It's a play on words from WIIS thread. But yeah huge manatee(humanity).

I'll take my apology rare to med-rare. Ty. lol
