In regards to winning or winning prizemoney, I'm pretty sure that any guy competing today is no chance of winning prizemoney, as there isnt any.
Jerry Lewis, read Adams thread, he got stronger by competing against guys that were MUCH stronger than him.
Then one day, he was on top of the mountain..........where he forever stayed lol
Adam was not an amazing lifter when he first picked up weights.
Adam was an amazing trainer when he first picked up weights.
Those numbers he quotes of lifters stronger than him, like 160kg more in the squat seemed insurmountable at first.
I imagine the same applies for you guys. Lift against the best, get stronger quicker.
Its no different for any sport. Keep playing cricket against hacks, your batting will never improve, its the same for every sport.
Daniel.............?
Mathew Collins is exactly the kind of lifter I want, not tied to a nanny's apron strings, does what he wants. He'll do well in a lifters Fed.
