loads of respect man. takes a lot of balls to be in a public place with your shirt off, no matter how ripped/muscular you might be. that said, you're missing the bag pouch attachment at your leg, and the firey thingimajig at your arm lol.

where was this anyways?

Tropicana City Mall. You can see more picture of this event and other cosplayer at my website: http://emino.info/2011/05/23/c2age-2011/

Beg pouch I already have, but can't find it that day. Same goes to the arm band on my elbow. And I cannot magically produce fire no matter how hard I try!

@VBS, my home gym is still at initial stage. I wish I have fatgripz or axle bar (I dont think I will ever own this bar, but it will be very nice if I have it). I have standard barbell which can load up until 95kg (including bar). Olympic can load up until ~135kg (including bar).

My next wish list will be:

1) 2x20kg (hopefully my final olympic barbell plate, means my target deadlift will be region of 180kg, think long term!)
2) 24kg and 32kg kettlebell,
3) FatGripz
4) Rolling thunder
5) CoC #3
6) Rubber mat
7) Vulcan gripper

I train my grip because it is my limitting factor on progressing with deadlift and weighted chin up. Without grip, everything falls apart, plateau cant be broken. Recently also I begun to use chalk for my lift and I will attest that the grip is phenomenal. I read that it is common to gain 30lb in deadlift by lifting with chalk. I think my recent plateau breaking contribute solely to chalk and grip. I use hook grip everytime I do deadlift... now that I getting use to hook grip I think it also somehow contribute...

Yesterday I make a new PR of 102.5kg. Today just now, my raw deadlift (pronated, hook grip with chalk) new PR is 105kg.

I wish my elbow area, tricep (lateral), and forearm already fully recovered, else I can show my weighted chin up. I'm slowly climbing back to my previous record of 35kg. Last week I manage to chin up 30kg, so maybe later I will post an updated picture on this. For now, I can share my weighted pull up of 20kg.

My weight today is 52.5kg, so this means I have entered to 2xBW deadlift. So happy~

Impressive bro thumbs up to you deadlifting that much for your size

Scary... U must be strong to be able to deadlift like that, tried it, not even 50% of my BW....
sad..

strength comes with consistent training, u will reach there eventually.

hopefully.... 1st time deadlift only...
today canot bent my back at all.... mcm org tua

wow! dude u r strong for ur size!

i`m 77-78 kg and i can only deadlift 70kg for five reps and then my grip gave up on me.

if i`m going to try my 1rm, how much estimated weight should i do?
there is some kind of calculations for that right? i`m noob.

strong man
i am 80 kg and i am only deadlifting same weight as you

Thanks guys! There are a lot of other much stronger guys than me even in this forum, the strongest ones I think dont even bother to sniff the forum... .

@jackwylde, I'm not sure whether you are more into strength training or bodybuilding. I'm more into getting strong so I try to refer back to below link to measure my progress, I think aiming for intermediate level is quite an achievement in itself.

Testing your true 1RM sometimes will give you a better gauge on how much weight you can try to lift with 3RM, 5RM and so on. You can try below link, from calculation it seems that your calculated 1RM is 79kg. I hope this is helpful...

http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html

For me, knowing your grip fails after 5RM shows actually you have the grip strength (specifically called "open hand crush grip"), just your supporting grip (gripping for long time) is not enough. I think there is no shame on that... I think I have weak support grip myself. If you can lift it one time, you have the grip power, if you cant grip it for a prolong time, you just dont have the endurance part of it.

Good job, man.

Not a progress picture. More of a before picture, after 6 months of lay off, gonna go thru a 4 month clean bulking phase before getting rid of the fat. Good luck to myself!
