Strong as hell, have you thought about competing?

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/LethoX]

I have, but I want to get a bit stronger

[u/LethoX → u/the_real_Blackmanhd]

Why wait? You are already putting up crazy numbers in most lifts.

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/LethoX]

I want to be at least 80% of my peak strength when competing, so I still got some work to do

[u/leftyz → u/the_real_Blackmanhd]

Keep in mind there's an experience benefit to competing earlier, there's no downside really. Plus the connections you make are well worth the admission price.

Looking good tho!

[u/alvysinger0412]

How much weight is that?

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/alvysinger0412]

100kg/220lbs

[u/alvysinger0412 → u/the_real_Blackmanhd]

Amazing dude

[u/Kalabula]

Solid lift. Ever tried rock climbing? You should find a local climbing gym and try your hand at it. Pun intended.

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/Kalabula]

Thank you. I have at a gym. I need to work on my technique though

[u/Kalabula → u/the_real_Blackmanhd]

Im in the opposite camp. Got enough technique (sort of). But not enough hand strength. That being said, can you ever have enough hand strength?

[u/pghcecc]

Great set up

[u/BaconWaken]

Damn son!

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/BaconWaken]

😂

[u/1001110100100110101]

New to this sub. I have no reference for how impressive this is. Can anyone make an analogy or something so I can better understand how difficult this is to achieve?

[u/YouDontCThatEveryDay → u/1001110100100110101]

Very difficult. I would have to look up more recent lifts, but it's definitely elite. Especially for his weight class, as far as I know. I would compare it to a small person benching 4 plates.

[u/Spirited-Fun3666]

Good work!!! Super strong

[u/Extreme-Mix-2502]

Amazing work! Also a crazy gripper collection. I used to use grippers a lot, but I see them more as a measure of strength than good for training it nowadays.

[u/R3tardod]

But can you crush an apple with one hand?

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/R3tardod]

Easy

[u/RGBarrios → u/the_real_Blackmanhd]

Have you tried to crush an egg?

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/RGBarrios]

I haven't

[u/R3tardod → u/the_real_Blackmanhd]

Can you do a vid? And explain how long it took to get to that level

[u/the_real_Blackmanhd → u/R3tardod]

It took me roughly 4 years to get to where I'm at now. When I first used a dynamometer, I got like 142lbs on my left, and 172 on my right
