Tex and Cyborg showed up last night and after Tex face lifting several times the pesky 52.5 lb fat man blob out on our Grip Island ( but continues to be thwarted by the pinch lift of this same Blob).Proceded to do some interesting training "stuff" Cyborg snatched a solid slick handle 100lb dumbbell with a 3" handle several times (seemed pretty hard but done in a workman- like fashion. On to the new 173 thick horn handle Cyborg pulled it righthanded and Tex followed with a right AND left success. Tex moved to the 201Lb Anvil that has since I lifted it years ago stopped everyone that has tried it and he finally was able to do several 6" off floor lifts and just due (I think) to his off center body positioning couldn't finish the lift. Cyborg went to sucessive 2 hand cleans with fairly strict push presses with the 132,158, and 172 Inch Bells. Both then Started their "long road" to deadlifting the now famous Circus Bell ( 202 lb and a 3 inch smooth handle) while they stirr it a bit off the floor unaided they can with steadying it with their off hand on the front sphere give some good 12" pulls on it. With a 500.00 prize next year for deadlifting it single handed I am pretty sure they will continue to train on it. as I said this was a "typical" day of events at the Sorinex compound and even though "just training" a fellow lifter shot some video we hope to get up for yall.
