NICE!!! That looks much better than the 605 you pulled a few weeks back. Great progress.

Also sick new avi[/quote]

Yeah no kidding. Very pleased about that. @VTBalla, that was an expression of defiance against a weight that gave me trouble a while ago.

Avi is artwork for the Barbarian class in the game Diablo III. I can’t wait!

Got a 565 squat tonight. Think I’m going to do more free squatting in the future so it feels more natural.

At least 6 inches high, wtf.

jk. Solid squat, way to fight through to the end.

Thanks Dixie. Really didn’t want to fail on that one.

Did a meet last weekend. Got a squat PR of 524…so getting closer:

that was an awesome squat

Nice job sticking with that squat Astar…you probably had like half a million more hairs on your balls after that one…

Hard luck on the last deadlift. Was that 277.5kg? Was the 270kg a record for you?

Competed at my club championships last weekend. Finished it with the day of with a 250kg (550 lbs) pull for a 480kg total.

The goal is 600 lbs for 2012.
It’s not so long ago I was posting in the 405 thread and wondering how I was going to get to 500 :).

Yea it was 277.5, my PR is 605 so 270 is close but not quite there.

Haha thanks…I think

Ok well I got the 600 squat but the deadlift is giving me a lot of hassle… Here is today’s skills evaluation for deadlift. got 2 raw PRs… Still a ways to go but it will happen in 2012.

What’s the lad in the background up to? He’s struggling to even break at the knees, let alone get anywhere near depth.

Anyway, good lifting man.

250 kg (551 lbs) deadlift from a meet last December. Haven’t pushed myself past this since but 600 lbs is the goal before the end of this year.

Will have a 600 dead soon … I can feel it.

Oh man, didn’t see him until you pointed it out. He’s blaspheming the squat!!
