Northern Maryland Powerlifting Meet - 3/27/10

Nice numbers for your bodyweight!

[suprman1020]

Good job man. If you arch your back more and use more leg drive on the bench, I can almost guarantee your numbers will explode. GOOD JOB.

[Chuchen]

Awesome! Next you should arm wrestle someone an make video of it XD

I don't understand how you have sick BW skills then do these numbers in powerlifting. Not that they are low by any means, but I can pull 550 and bench 315, but I can barely do 15 chin-ups and a 60 second tuck front lever. I do weigh a lean 220lb though; a good 45 more than you and I am 73 inches tall. How tall are you? I know you can do much more....Keep it up...

[BeastSkills]

@kluthage421 A look at any Strength Standards chart puts my lifts in the "advanced" category. It just takes time and dedicated practice to get up to an elite level in anything. I haven't been powerlifting as long.

great job man! representin' beast skills =-) woo!

[ZacaTV]

Good job man!

[eon001]

That's a good look. I considered power lifting to compliment my ju jitsu and mma training, but I was concerned that the extra muscle might limit my flexibility. I like how you mix the body weight exercise with weights. Might try it myself.

[BeastSkills]

@eon001 I don't think extra muscle limits flexibility. Not stretching limits flexibility. There's a picture of strength legend John Grimek (I believe), and he's bending over and reach about a foot past his toes. Tons of muscle, tons of flexibility.

[BenLeonard3]

Good job. It's impressive how you excel at both body weight exercises and powerlifting.

[MrHipHopopotamus]

Great strength, I love your site/vids!

[ORTprod]

WOOH! Yeah man. No squat though?

[BeastSkills]

@ORTprod No squat for this meet. Just bench and deadlift. (push/pull meet)

[dawalli]

Great work Jim! You keep pushing the limits!

[ChrisGraeme]

You looked strong there - more to come on both lifts

[tplatt]

Congrats, feels good to hit a goal, doesn't it?

[Kayzaks]

Congrats! Great Work!
