Solid squatting duder! Now you’ve had a bit of time with a west-side style template what are your thoughts on it in general?

944

Nice work on the PRs! Must feel real good getting used to such a heavy-ass weight (nice coleman impression there by a lifting partner)

Carry on bro. Nice job.

Phlegms - I like the system, the key is finding movements which you suck the most at and carry over the best to your competition lifts. I’m still finding things. Probably will be using it for a long time.

Jake - yeah i lol’d, but thats light weight for him ha

Yeah, mostly because I wanted to try out the briefs for some sets each week haha.

955

TWO THINGS:

  1. I just noticed your location says Florida, do you live anywhere near the homosassa (sp?) springs?

  2. Yesterday a guy working out near me noticed my (our) knee sleeve thingies and said to me that an orthopedic surgeon told him any kind of knee pressure type stuff is BAD for you when you squat cause it stops strengh from being built or something.
    I did not have a good comeback, but it seems stupid to me. I am curious if you use them every time you squat?

MMKAY BYE

I have no clue where homosassa springs is lol. In regards to the knee sleeves, if knee pressure stuff stopped strength from being built, how come all the guys use knee wraps? That would of been my response. You should have asked, “HOW MUCH YA SKWAT?!”. Yeah, I do use them everytime I squat since I’ve gotten them. I didnt have any knee pains or anything, so that wasnt my reason for getting them. But, using them everytime I squat, my knees feel incredible when I take them off.
