What was supposed to be a weekend of me geeking out watching strong people lift heavy stuff turned into me running to Chattanooga twice, Morristown once, and barely squeezing in deadlifts on Sunday. I hate deadlifting heavy on Sunday; makes Monday looooooong. I fully intended to get 5 @ 445, but both the spirit and the flesh were weak and unwilling at that point.
Snap is right, not having to walk the weight out is great. It’s much easier, at least to me, to maintain tightness.
I’d also like to mention that you were jacked at the meet.

Any special reason you’re benching more than you squat?

i’m doing my 5/3/1 squat warmup every training session; i need the volume and the practice
Can you pm your info again? Thinking about this Sunday am if you want to try the mono lift out…going to Dynabody to check out some 45’s tomorrow. They already sold the safety squat bar, but Pete is looking for another for me. Fingers crossed.
how do you like the z presses?

they get the job done. main reason i do them is the ceiling in my lifting area is too low for standing presses. they have exposed my weak core.

A million thanks to everybody that commented on my last squat video. 455 this week looks much better, and the 505 look o.k.
This is the 455
oops, hit the wrong button; this is the 455
and here’s the 505
i have no idea why the videos didn’t upload; i’ll keep trying.
as soon as i typed in the last post, the videos appeared, so never mind. you wouldn’t think i worked w/ computers all day, would you?
Friggin’ strong squat! Looked like you had more in you. I believe you mentioned starting to squat in oly shoes. How do you like 'em? I’m thinking about picking up some adidas powerlift trainers (or something to that effect) as I feel a little more comfortable with an elevated heel.
Both squats looked strong. You’ve got more than 505 in you for certain.
