Hey guys I actually decided to max at 405. Let me know how you think my form is.

I love that one. It took me a few viewings to make sure it wasn't real and I wasn't watching someone die.

I see nothing wrong there. Just need to finish the lift all the way.

Ok I'll work on my lock out more. I think I went deep enough tho.

 

[Boris Bachmann]

All right - the Skwatawks zine is on issue lucky number 13! (if I'm mailing a hard copy to you hopefully you got it already)

PDF large size version here:

225lb x 15. The rest of the workout was pretty meh, but this felt okay.

 

[Boris Bachmann]

I did this today too as a way to salvage my ego after balking w. 405lb twice...

 

[silveraw]

Did 225 for 13 on my downset today


I do worry though. Brought up this challenge to my coach and his first thought was “is there a time limit? I bet I could do 50”.

 

[Boris Bachmann]

It's high but I'm counting it.

Back Squat - 315# x1

Been a long time since I’ve back squatted, was rough. Hatfields are so much more enjoyable

What are Hatfields? Hatfields and McCoys?

I really like the SSB but I've never really done the Hatfield squats. If I wanted to, I'm not sure if I wouldn't rather do them on the belt squat machine.

I used a nice belt squat machine for the first time pretty recently - liked it!

Which one has better "transfer" (to whatever), I don't know. But, I think there's less that could potentially go wrong w. belt squats versus Hatfield squats. If it was one or the other, I'd choose the belt squat machine.

For a second I thought you had taken that supplement thread to heart and searched out the sketchy stuff.
