Race to a 700 Squat/DL

Thought there was one but could not find it. I have noticed several members climbing to the 700 number so lets see it.

Also a thread can keep those on track and discuss tweaks used to get there.

Personally myself and those I know chasing it all lift raw, however I suppose you gear junkies that are chasing the number are welcome in the race as well.

GL.

For the record, I have a max date set for May 13. I am shooting for 650ish then probably will be lower but hopefully I get it.

Does anyone have a proper protocol for maxing? I have never really maxed other than working up to heavy singles during sessions. Any advice is appreciated.

I’m in

I’m in.

Nice Dixie

Single ply or raw?

and what fed

I believe that’s Multi if it’s SPF, and I will throw my hat in for belt and wraps or single ply on the squat and raw on the DL

belt+wraps= still raw for most feds, thats what im chasing it for, I am not into the gear bug yet.

Good work guys. I have a 715 squat under my belt in a multiply UPA meet last year. Still chasing that 700 pull. Here are my latest semi-recent PR’s:

635 belt only (done in a meet)
655 conventional with suit & belt (gym lift)
675 sumo with suit & belt (gym lift)

Looking to pull 700 in a meet this year

No apology need brother, and thanks.

Strong squat dixie.

For you guys that run single ply or multi ply… How long did it take for you to get used to the difference in technique versus raw?

Also how much does a single ply usually add? I hear some people choose single because it is less injury prone than raw but more realistic than multi…

Just some noob questions… Good shit all around though guys.

lololol u mad? got 2 whites, all that matters.

That you dont think I was deep enough? lol I gathered. 2 whites, I came up when I got the command, he cut me pretty close, and I got the benefit.

You should see how mad I am right now.
I’m frothing at the mouth.

I’m glad it worked out for you.
I suppose having a third party tell you when you’ve gone low enough can be distracting when you’re focusing on hitting depth. You didn’t break parallel, but that seems to be more the judges doing than your own. If that becomes commonplace, you might consider changing federations.
