It doesn’t seem like it would work but it does. That’s a big part of what any sport is about; learning from the experts and then tweaking it to fit you.
Do you ever pull off wooden boxes? I inherited some boxes from one of the guys on this site and find them much nicer to pull from then metal pins. When you pull off metal, the bar is completely dead but pulling off wood is more like the floor, there is some ‘give’ to it.

I agree. sometimes things works others dont.But the only way you can know is to try it out for yourself .For example “Box Squats” It was great to use to relearn form.But shit, for me to build a raw squat.
using box pulls has crossed my mind.Ive seen video of Andy Bolton doing them with mega -weight.But im too lazy to bulid another box:)

Good lookin deads. And vegetables never hurt anyone. Maybe a bit more cardio and you could eant more fun stuff. [/quote]
Thanks about the deads. dont get me wrong I do eat my veggies. But I do enjoy my junk carbs.
Your right about the cardio.I need to at least get back on the prowler or do some jump rope.Or some type of GPP.

Awesome vid of your boy!
That’s some good top control there. Keeping those feet out really do wonders for leverage.

8/9/10
Warm up: light Db movements
light stretching
Axel Bench:Barx10
95x10
140x5
170x5
205x3
240x3
275x3
310x3…did 4 not realy happy about it form was breaking down
Bent over rows:135x10/225x5/295x5/225x10/225x15…Heavy set felt odd.could still be feeling the effects from deads Friday or dropping a few carbs.Ended up dropping weight .
Dips:Bwx10/25x5/50x5/75x5/BWx15
Alternate DB curls:3x10x some weight
Mini band pull aparts:2x25
It was a so so day.
Great take down and pin. Lot of room to grow. Badass, no knee pads. Oh, your liftings doing good, too.
som when you going to drop that axle and see what you can do… you just planning on 5/3/1 till the meet or do you have something special planned
