Most of them are just huge freaks of nature. Only the real go getters actually hit the weights hard and properly. Realistically all of them should be putting up MASSIVE numbers in the weight room but you usually only see their bench and 40 times. | ||

The only thing they do in the weightroom is hang cleans and bench press. Which to be fair is still probably better than a lot of strength programs lol I go to a D3 school and our S&C coach has a Squat + bench + power clean based program, and we dominate almost every school in our division so you have a point there  | ||

They fucking demolished everyone. Don't think they've had a winning season since lols. | ||

Today C&J up to 80, both shoulder hurt so much I had to stop. At least the pain finally forced me to jerk properly and not use arm strength. FS: 120kgx2x5 (PR) Edit: Go figure, a powerlifter whose weak point are his shoulders :p | ||

I take it you go to school there then? I applied to a research internship there this summer, so I may be up there then :D:D:D | ||

I don't know yet, depends on whether or not I'm accepted (probably won't really know till March) and who exactly accepts me If i do end up there, are there good places nearby for training in Weightlifting? (also how're the campus facilities?) | ||

As far as places to lift off campus, if you have a car there are 4 crossfits (syracuse, salt city, 315, and dewitt, listed in order of quality imo) within 15 minutes drive of campus, as well as a gold's gym, so you should be able to find whatever you're looking for. I never tried to work out any kind of "just weightlifting/open gym time" deal with any of the crossfits, so I don't know if they'd go for it. If you don't have a car, then only Crossfit Syracuse is within biking distance (~5 miles iirc?) I've got some friends who are recent chem graduates, and I was bio, so if you've got any questions about the department or about campus in particular drop me a PM =) | ||
