Yeah, between the legs would be awkward. Those plates are much more compact than I could be. But I could definitely hang off your back. Maybe like how they do it in the wife carrying contests:
Happy anniversary! Yeah, wives do have anniversary requirements, but I suspect that you’ve got the situ under control.[/quote]
I could totally do that.
Question: If you sign up for a full power meet that covers everything right? Theres no neeed to check the individual lift boxes or crap like that, right?

I’m pretty sure full power is all you need. If you check the individual lifts in addition to full power, that may qualify you to set an individual lift record for that fed or continue on if you bomb one of the other lifts in the full power meet, but its really just extra money if you don’t plan on setting a record or bombing out.

Today was not my best day, felt weak on dips and got two weak reps on my last set. I’ve got to up my intensity and focus.
4x BW+115
2x BW+125
I’m looking forward to when 4 reps on 115lbs and 2 on 125lbs is a bad dip day for me!
Nice dips!!!
was a sucky one for me too Joe. cudos on pushing through.

I think I need to add more sets of these while somehow not carrying a mountain of plates over to the dip bars. Also getting I got a compliment on my dips which took a bit of the sting out of not meeting my expectations.
Joe nice work…I think if you glared at the camera again you would get more reps!! Seriously, awesome job!!
Thanks OG I’m going to have to try that.

Back was a little fussy before I pulled today so I wasn’t feeling all that good about restarting deads. Seemed to warm up okay but we shall see. Reset my training max pretty damn low and tried to focus opm form but I did feel pretty rusty. Now to see if my back stays happy.
Video coming but the angle is crap because it was crowded.
As you can see form was not so good but I’ll get it back to rights.

A bad dip day for me is when a bug crawled into the dip.
^funny =+
Its good to see you pulling again. But I want the sumo video.
I thought those 2 dips at 125 lbs. looked good. Nice range of motion. Clearly I can gain a ton of weight and you could still dip me.
Good job getting back in the saddle. The form looked solid to me.

Just a thought. I’ve found filming deadlifts from the side is far more enlightening than from the front as far as form goes .

Oh yeah they are and I always try to get them from the side but my gym was packed and there was no way to get a side very without blocking the rack on either side of me.
