@CoachFHM I’d be there all day if I did that. And I’d have to eat like 6 times! Hell when I train with my team it might take us an hour to get to our top set on our main lift.

10+ exercises in a workout is a telltale sign your training is shite. Too much fluff with not enough intensity at all. Pick 4-6 exercises and train them hard. That’s what really works.

@mikeddonatelli And red dots all over your face.

Strongman training gives you bruises in the weirdest places

@AJA_Cortes What was the wildest thing you witnessed during your time with EliteFTS?

@JoeyDevlin_ What a weird way to go through life. Walking around worrying about the dumbest of shits. He probably can’t make eye contact with either group.

The dudes who go out of their way to act like they are alpha are the furthest thing from alpha This guy might be on the top of that list

@zachhomol_ That’s awesome. I get chipmunks under my shed and my old beagle used to lose his whole mind going after them. Never came close to catching one tho 😂

We’ve had rabbits living under our shed year after year Drives my dogs crazy… Spike hunts them everyday - but never successful Till this morning… No idea how he caught it… but poor little rabbit was still warm when I disposed of him Spike was proud

@mikeddonatelli Hard to shake the PR or ER mentality in all aspects of life 😂

I started to like cardio when I stopped trying to go as hard as I could every session

@AJA_Cortes Not really related, but in school they used to always harp on us if we didn’t go to the cafeteria and eat breakfast. Even in high school. Mom (a teacher) told me later that it was because school meals were the only meals about 85% of the kids in our county would get that day.

@zachhomol_ I compete with a guy in southern WV that works 12 hr shifts underground and can total 1600 w his boots on 🤣

I worked 12 hr swing shifts in the coal mines Trained everyday Squatted & deadlifted over 600 then

People would tell me “I’d be as strong as you if I didn’t work so many hours” My answer “No you wouldn’t” You’ll be whatever you prioritize Period.

@JTTurf @CoachFHM High top chucks.

@CoachFHM For shock absorption or the negative heel-toe drop or both? Any brands you recommend?

Squatting and deadlifting in running shoes should be banned. You can’t produce as much force. Deadlifts - Deadlift slippers, socks barefoot, flats. Squats - Heeled squat shoes, flats, barefoot, socks.

@R8erRudy @CoachFHM Dunks shouldn’t count because jumpshots are harder.

There’s definitely been an increase in the popularity of powerlifting the last few years. Ain’t a bad thing at all. People following structured plans with effective movements is what we wanna see. Beats rolling around the gym with a bosu ball.

@CoachFHM I think the pivot from geared to raw made it more appealing to a larger audience. Squatting 900 in a multilayered Kevlar suit and only out of a monilift. Vs. Squatting 500 with just a belt and some sleeves out of commercial gym rack.

@AJA_Cortes @BowTiedOx Immediately thought of this elitefts.com/education/efs-…

“Too big” Means you can’t wipe your ass, tie your own shoes, and walking up the stairs is a traumatic event. Most will NEVER get there without anabolic assistance. Some get there from being too overweight though.

@JoeyDevlin_ How did that many people even see that post to get so pearl clutchy about it? Do they constantly seek out things to disagree with?

A bunch of miserable people in this thread, projecting their misery onto everyone else You hate to see it

@Matt_S_Stephens “Daddy, where were we on Jan 6th?” “In line for a ride at Epcot, laughing with everyone else about the internet melting down”

If you're seriously comparing 1/6 with 9/11, you're an asshole. There is no comparison there.

@zerohedge I ran out and bought everything I need for milk sandwiches. All good.

@zachhomol_ Or up on the strip.

If you didn’t go to field parties in HS Did you really live?

@mikeddonatelli What’s my name? - DMX The intro alone makes me want to rip the gym apart.

Chalk on your hands Ammonia up your nose You’re facing a max effort deadlift 1 song is blaring in your ears What is it?

@CoachFHM King sized Fast Break Bar and a white monster. Preworkout of champions.

Avoid too much fat in your pre workout meal. Will take longer to digest and can leave you feeling bloated, nauseous etc. Heavy on the carbs, moderate protein and lower fat for me.

@CoachFHM Best thing I’ve done is build a powerlifting team and buy some decent bars. We travel our area, couple years at one gym, couple years at another, bringing our bars with us. Gym members and environments change. What’s good one year may suck the next. We bring our own vibe.

Had to train in a commercial gym this last week. The whole energy in these places is horrific. You have no idea how much a “real” gym matters.

@ryanrpark I worked with a guy that drank one of those a day. Turns out it was to hide the sheer amount of booze he was drinking each day at work. Another guy would bring in five 2 liters of Dr Pepper every Monday morning and drink one a day for the week. He also had “medical problems”🤔

People actually fill these with soda and drink it all in a day Mind boggling
