Camera has been misplaced… Sorry, but the measurements are simple enough. It’s 36 inches front to back and 36 inches wide and made of 2x6 (three layers) with a slot in the cross piece that accepts the straight forward part (attaches with a tractor pin). I used 2 in fence post for the uprights for pushing and there is another steel pipe at center for loading plates. The skids are wooden with bent metal plates screwed on, but we mainly keep carpet over them to use it indoors.

Dude when I first started reading this, I thought you were giving directions on how to make your denim squat suit…I knew you were a gear whore, but that shit was ridiculous!

Hahaha… Squat suits should be made of wood and steel though… and hydraulic cylinders…
July 6th
ME SSB + Chains 80x10, 170x5, 260x3, add 3 chains per side x1, 310x1, 350x1, add wraps 400x1, 430x1, 450x1 (slightly higher box on this one), 410x1, 1, 1
Block Pulls (6 inch blocks) 315 + 7 chains per side x1, 315 + 3 chains per side x10
So, we got some chains and it was play time. Was a really good session though. 450 with chains was where I was hoping to get to. Looking forward to some shirted benching on Friday.

That took forever… I don’t think my shirt is fitting quite right yet. It is nice and tight in the arms and shoulders now, but I think the chest plate is still too big even after I took it in, so I guess I gotta do it again.
Tomorrow DE squat and dead with chains!
Dang wish I could’ve seen the 300 press! Awesome!
July 9th
DE Dead 135+3 chains/side x5, 225x3, 315x1, 365x1, 315x1, 365x1, 315x1, 1, 225x1
DE Squats 80x5, add 3 chains/side x1, 170x2, 260x2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2

Tomorrow is deadlift day! I am hoping for good things!
July 12th
Deadlift (conventional) 135x7, 225x3, 315x1, 405x1, 455x1, 485x1, 525x1, 555x1!, 495x1, 1, 1
SSB GM 80x10, 130x10, 170x10, 10, 10 (squat stance, deadlift stance, wide)
Ab Wheel BWx20, 15
Band back traction.
So, that was a 10 lb deadlift PR and a 20 lb conventional deadlift PR. Pretty happy with that. I didn’t have much more in the tank though, as it was all upper back at the lockout. At least I know what I need to work on though. Upper back can never be strong enough. Reverse band deads here I come!
Nice pull! 10 lbs closer to 605…

Bob was present at said event. Sadly no video. It was nice rounded upper back style with a super slow lockout!
