Why don’t you ask that dude to not spot like that, or if he’s the only one in there and he’s unwilling just lighten the load a bit and fly solo? That “spotting technique” would drive me nuts.

I agree ! That would totally throw me off.
Awesome pressing though DF!
PeteS - yes sir, will work on that
Ink - if you just sit and listen long enough, he will say the most ridiculous stuff
kpsnap - impossible, you are at most 34, and looking lovelier all the time. It is intentional, I am trying to imitate the dip that Brian Carroll does, and comes to an almost complete stop, then dips
WhiteFlash - I always remind him, but its just his way. As for lightening the load and flying solo, it was a max effort day, so going heavy was the point. The only two sets he spotted me on are the two on video, everything else was solo
Spock - yeah, what can you do though, and thank you I appreciate that

Nice squattin Dixie. Because of you and Ink i tried out the squats with hanging quarters and it is tougher than expected, expecially the walkout. The acually squatting part wasn’t too difficult but the the walkout certainly was.
*2 the Rhino is a beast
So yeah I am going to start adding deficit pulls to my routine, do you think just standing on a regular plate is deficity enough? I don’t really know what else to use.

Jelly of the fact that you get the weight room to yourself.

A really easy way to pull deficits is to just use 25-lb. plates as your largest.
Heracles - told you
Spock - check your log
Patch - forever alone is the way to be…soemtimes
Kpsnap - no charmer, just a truthful gentleman

HAHA! I was wondering the same thing.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the fact that you labeled your youtube video ‘old man spot.’
I like your no excuses way, but I do hope things start to even out a bit for you.
GVela - every day is recovery day
chol - haha I label the videos what they are. Thank you, school is just heating up and the job hunt is getting frustrating, but its all good, as Aesop Rock said, “Life isnt a b*tch, shes a beautiful woman”

Damn dude. First handoff, and walk away. Second, the OMS everyone loves. Third…WHAT THE FUCK?! Shitty handoff, then grab the bar as a brace for him to get down, then get back up…good LAWD bro, how DO you train sometimes…
Loving those earrings man. Now to incorporate them in a paused deadlift…or a GM?
Earrings on GM’s?!?! That sounds cray!
Nice work DF, even with the crappy handoffs!
that was a tandem bench/rack pull. good team work.
Ink - the gauntlet has been thrown, now must try in a GM
Pb - thanks man
GVela - get out ese, you aint welcome
hahahah
