200 x 1 probably too big a jump, maybe 4/5.
Felt ok. Seems, conversely to my low bar, high bar works better with flats instead of heels. Heels + high bar gives too much flexibility and results in variations in descent pattern.

@guineapig Your turn for a free depth roast. What you reckon? Looks about flat to me.

I’m torn, because on one hand it’s a strong lift (parallel and paused by my eyes), but on the other: your belt is upside down.

Haha, I had no idea. Ive always worn it that way, just easier to flip the lever with my right hand

It makes literally zero difference, I’m just a bit funny about this stuff.

Also I have a strength shop lever I wear the right way up, but still not operate the lever with my right hand, did you attach the lever upside down?
But @dagill2 is right it makes no difference and the lift is solid.
I have probably the same strength shop lever but in blue (because it brings out my eyes) and I always operate it with my right hand. Even though I usually wear it with the lever over to the left for some reason.
Entirely possible that I installed it ‘lefty’. I don’t read whatever language that letter logo comes from to know which way is right side up. Or im just not familiar enough with their brand logo if thats not an actual letter. Displaying my ignorance here clearly.
Chinese symbol got strength I believe… Looked it up when I noticed eddy hall had it tattooed (thinking had be tattooed a sponsor?!).
