Thanks fellas and pretty lady.
I did stop motion and the last one is cutting it super close but I think it looks parallel.
I liked the way this session flowed. Use box squats to my head into squat form (which I need) and then the wraps so I can move a bit more weight. Plus wraps seem to keep my knees feeling great.
Its close enough. Maybe just at parallel but still good.
If you aren’t training for a meet then no snese in sweating it.

I might try and squeeze out another 1/2" next time. And, you’re right. Unless there is judging involved it doesn’t really matter. It just needs to be consistent so I can judge progress.
Solid work. You answered my question about why you go from box squats to free squats. That seems to work for you.

Thanks Matty. I’m sticking with the knee wraps until I hit 405. Maybe I’ll always use 'em. Dunno.

^ For f**ks sake! How difficult is this to understand?
Read the sticky at the top of the page and submit the correct pics, including wheelz and then we will give you feedback. Jeez!
Oh sorry! Thought this was RMP.
Jesting aside, in English - The circumference of your upper arms is most splendid and worthy of credit.
In American - HYOOGE GUNNZZZ DUUUUDE!!!
Did I do that right?
^lmao FB.
Looking swole brah!
^ LOL! I love English humor! (Welsh humor?)
Looking thick there Git! Very, VERY nice 
And nice squatting too! Love the post squat clap.
Great work in here!
ps. I’m totes a mini-Travolta! lol!
Haha…Farmer, you are right. That has weak first RMP post written all over it.
dday, thanks bro. Can you be a bro or a brah if you are over 40? There must be some law against that. I hope so anyway.
Maschy, it’s your fault. It was your arm pic that inspired me. Yours looks better than mine…big surprise.
GUNZZZ! You have Staten Island biceps!

BOOM! nice
We have that same whirlpool tub.
Do you use yours? I rarely get in the thing. But I’m a fan if I can get in with a glass of wine and my wife in at the same time.
Deads…um, no
Worked up to 405 which was ‘holy shit’ heavy and stopped. I blame it on not eating much over the past 2 days and walking, standing, dancing at a concert yesterday for about 6 hours.
I’m going to try deads again tomorrow. A good idea? Probably not.

My wife is tiny but the two of us can’t really get in the thing comfortable, it’s just to small. A full size hot tub would be way more useful.

I’ve thought about installing a hot tub. I have a good spot for it. But, I’m not really a lounge in the hot tub person.
Friends of mine went to a charity auction. Wife has a few drinks, 12 man hot tub goes on auction, she gets a bit excited. $7500 later they have a killer hot tub. He was…not amused. They are still trying to figure out where this behemoth is going to go.
