Seriously nice squats, eco. I think I could unrack that much, but if I bent my knees I would hit the floor…lol.
I’m 5’9’’ with a 30 inch pant leg. I don’t have far to squat down. But thank you.[/quote]

you guys must be look’n in my windows at night. i’ve always secretely wanted to be a runway model.
zerchers are the shit. ever since i started doing them, my lower back pain has gone away. i’m really liking the bottom up front squats i did tonight. they are really hard but i like that.
Nice squating ecco…
really solid good work.
Im 5 mother fuggin 6 before sqautting- so 30" inseam does it with big shoes.
I got a picture of Meat after his first day with the Virginia Road Runners club,
looks like he did ok…

Buncha stubby-legged wombats.
32" waist with a 34/35" inseam @6 feet tall.
My knees should bend backwards…
MM, Zerchers are the shit. Wished I’d have found them sooner. They force me into the correct squatting groove. I can visualize you modeling.Of course its for Elite Fitness or Westside gear though.
KMC, that picture looked like me after a round of sprints last weekend.
Littlestrict, pansy legs…I don’t think so. I’ve read your thread. Any luck moving back on the bench?
Skid, a pant length longer than you waist size. Whats up with that? You most likely are sporting abs as well.
Not yet… I will try the setup when I get home, though. Just to see where it puts me under the bar. It would be a good thing if it fits. My only concern is that I can only get so far down the bench. This is one of those combo benches, with the leg ext./preacher curl setups (strongest one I could find that didn’t cost an arm and leg). I am pressed into the base (frame sticks up about 4" right at the crotch end of the bench) as it is. We’ll see…
Great looking Zerchers Eco, I love the damn things but my weights aren’t anywhere near like you are doing.

Nice work
On the question os 3 board or CGP if your a RAW lifter stick with the CGP . The shirts help alot in the hole and the tri’s really need to be top overloaded when using shirts so then use a 3/4 board press.
Oh BTW if you really like zercher sqauts there is a bar made by a guy on ebay (xchopper) is seller name - he is the same guy who made my sled- that zercher bar is awesome and cheap.
Good work on the sqauts.
Thanks for the positive comments guys.
Fischer, I plan doing a lot of close grip bench. I’ll look into that bar. Thanks

close grip bench 295x3,315x3,335x5
CGB 185 10 repsx5 sets

Starting to feel strong again. My diet is still fairly good but not as strict as it was.Still haven’t drank any booze. If I can stay under 260 I’ll be happy. My wife is out buying my protein powder as I type. She’s good to me some times.

Great work Eco. Thats some kind of strong training, diet or no diet!!
Strong on those cgb.
Thank you guys. Had my strawberry protein drink today. Not bad with milk.I’ll be huge in no time now.
Really strong work, eco. 335x5 on CGB? Just think, I can do that…as soon as I can lift 100 more pounds…lol.
Strong work on the CGBP.wow.
get your swole and your protein farts all at once!
kmc
Thanks LS. My bench has been stuck for a long time. Hope this gets it moving again.
KMC, are you a mind reader. I was going to ask if protein powder has this effect on everyone. See if I can get my CGB to 405. I’ve gotten 365 recently. Deads and upper back tonight.
that is some good strong benching

I thought you said you had weak triceps ? WTF!! Good lifting !!
When do you do your back work ? Only on back (deadlift day) If i may I would suggest atleast facepulls with bands to help out your rhomboids/teres minor with all that pressing to keep your rotators happy - not much you can add them in between your 5 sets of 10 or the lockouts - just do them somewhere.
Dude you are strong. You said earlier you are gonna try and catch some guys (me included) - well you left me sometime ago - time for me to go catch you.
What are your aspirations besides your strength goals ?
