I think Valhalla Strength would be your best bet in Australia. Scott Wasson is a good bloke.
I use the two and a half metre red Slingshots. I go bottom to top, wrapping out with the roll facing away from my leg. Four straight up, overlapping about halfway or a bit less, then across the front of the knee, then straight over it again. The most I can get is eight. If Jake or Jeremy wrap, maybe I could get nine.
Scott Wasson is from the Brisbane PTC? That the fella your talking about? It’s a nice dream, haha,don’t think the minister of finance will release funds for that
Do you try and pass each round behind your knee or as close to?
I’ve tried many wraps over the years but find the old 2 under, 1 on the knee, 2 over with a cross works quite well and is surprisingly comfy, although I rarely go ridiculously tight.
At a couple of comps I’ve been to I’ve seen blokes wrapping with another dude really stretching the suckers.
Originally. I think he bought it off Markos and renamed it Valhalla Strength. So it’s a gym and an equipment company or something.
I used to try passing just behind the knee but now I don’t bother. I figure because I don’t squat super wide it isn’t that important.
The extra guy helps. I think Jeremy and Eric have two guys, one to hold the leg steady and one to wrap. I pre stretched mine on the roller though, which helps a fair bit too. If you haven’t got one just stand on your wraps while rolling them.
Your squat technique Is Amazing and its well under parallel too even with wraps! Honestly one of the best Squat PR’s I’ve ever seen. Looks like you have alot more in the tank too when you’re not so fatigued and come comp day. Awesome work man.
That squat was fast. I don’t know how well you can grind a squat but to me that looks like something around an opener, not a max at all. What do you have in mind for your 3rd attempt at the meet?
Chad Aichs lower back stretch, SuperD shoulder stabilisation thing, band work (with Y raises as an extra), hand release pushups
Bench press
2x5xbar
5xplate
3x176 lbs
1x220 lbs - got liftouts from here on
1x253 lbs
1x286 lbs
1x314 lbs - five pound PR. Felt good enough to go again
1x319 lbs - added a small pause, felt identical to the 314 but called it there. Another 11 pound PR
That was speedy enough that I glanced away at a message on my phone when you unracked and had to replay the video because I missed the lift. I wish my PRs looked like that. Especially in terms of how much weight is on the bar, haha.
