They ring me, and I tell them Marty is fine, in fact he front squatted 180kg on Saturday............and I filmed it. They plead with me to post it, so I just did

Wow, all this over a missed front squat

[bozodos]

has he been copping much shit over this?

[MagicMikeZ32]

He's a bit of a unit... But who is he? Claim to fame?

[markos]

Martin has copped no shit, he misses a front squat every Saturday in the gym.

Martins claim to fame?

He has all the GPC teen WR in the 82.5kg class

He has all the junior GPC WR in the 82.5kg class

He has the Open Men GPC WR for deadlift

I have lost count of his National Records

He is sponsored by Ironedge, features on the cover of their catalogue, and inside

His best lifts, raw, are 255kg squat, 160kg bench and 290kg deadlift. He is 20 years old

[bozodos]

I meant over becoming internet famous lol...

[markos]

Oh, sorry Bozo, misunderstood. He comes in about 5pm, I'll let you guys know lol

[-FIGJAM-]

as much as we laugh at the whole feinting video (and it is funny), it could have ended much much worse then it did.

[markos]

So can crossing the road

[-FIGJAM-]

true that

good on him for hitting the weight the next week tho

[markos]

Next week............he deadlifted 320kg off blocks the next day. He honestly didnt have a mark on him and was in no pain, he only stopped his session because it was his last lift

[markos]

Now its big
