    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Wonderful videos. The squat & the bench look very effortless.

Videos like this seem to be pushing me mentally towards powerlifting.

That was incredible. And the bench press was a thing of beauty...

Really impressive stuff!
I was reading an interview with him (translated):
Konstantinov wrote:I don't use straps in training and don't have any problems pulling weight off the floor. In the rack I've pulled 500kg (1100lbs) and held onto it for 8 seconds.
:shock: Now that's one hell of a grip!

I have a lot of respect for him because he lifts completely raw. Just like I plan to do for the rest of my life when I'm lifting. No straps, no suits, no nothin. Just chalk and good 'ole elbow grease ;)

This guy is very inspiring due to him being extremely strong, with pretty long limbs. He is tall.
Anyone know his perspective on steroids? I assume he is using, but I wonder how much/long? Anyone know?

There's a guy in the background shouting something like "dascoras". Anyone know what this means?
