Good job Max... If you didn't see my comment on FB I was saying thanks... I started deadlifting in a closer stance and increased my number by 40lbs... Once I really get used to it I'm sure that too will improve.
Yeah, the close stance helps the conventional deadlift, unless you're like a 275, 308, or SHW who has a massive frame and needs to have his feet wider.
Not sure where your reply to mo comment went, but those are some good numbers for having a strained back. Strange how it only affected the bench. Your lifts are going up which is good to see/ watch.
Thanks. I think the problem was that I strained my lower back seven weeks before this meet, when I was doing strongman training with atlas stones, trying to load a stone on a high platform. The weird thing is that it seemed to affect my bench press, due to the arch, but not the deadlift.
I have one question, have you ever been injured, if yes, how badly?

I never had any injuries worse than a muscle strain.

Thanks. Yeah, I think it was because of the arch when I bench. It's better now though.

Very well done...looked like you had some left on the DL!

Thanks, Matt. Yeah, the 530 looked and felt like it wasn't a problem, but the 545 was too much for me after that.
After the bodybuilding contest, when is your next PL meet and what fed will it be?
maxbm 2 years ago
Gotcha. My guess is that it would have been a close one.
Not sure of my plans for the next meet. I'd like to get in a 8-12 week training cycle before competing again.

Good job, congrats. 1130 is a kick ass total, especially got 165lbs.
What happened to your bench thought? You've done more than 205 before, why isn't t progressing as much as your squat and dead?
Cheers!
