Here is the log that kingc used today. Looks nice. Some modifications need to be made but it is a has potential.

Jason made me a nice deadlift assist bar...a BACK SAVER!!!

I mean this is top quality. I can't wait to use it. Every gym should have one (especially if you do deads and train at home by yourself). I think that he can make them and sell them pretty cheap too...

Jason also made these for me... He painted his...I didn't need any paint

2 and 3 board pinch grip blocks. Hang weights from it and hold for time or as a one arm deadlift...

Very cool, B.

Dig the new toys. Especially the pinch grip blocks.

i was really happy with it over all. but my log still needs work on form and tire still needs work on form also, but hopefully ill get it in time. great workout tho, i'm sore as hell today.

btw: if anyone wants one of those logs let me know, i will have a couple more to sell and maybe even a 5ft one or two if anyone wants.

Greatr job fella. B, how'd you like St. Louis?

Loved St. Louis. I also squatted 800 in VERY loose gear. I could put all of my own gear on by myself in less than 5 minutes...lol.

They said that I missed parallel with it by less than 1/2" but it was very easy on the way up. Took less than one second on the way up and 850 probably would have went. I just didn't have enough experience squatting heavy and trying to hit depth...I just cut the 800 a tad shy.

Thanks...maybe when I get my new power rack and a new bar or two...I can try for 800+. I'd like to do a few sets of 600 for reps though...not sure that the max attempt would benefit me that much honestly...

Strange though...I squatted 800, did some clean and jerks with a 250 thick bar, loaded a 360 stone to a 5' platform, and set a PR with 585 on the sled for 100' in 28.4 seconds...and feel great. I hang out for about 4 hours then drive home another 4 hours and I feel like I have torn my anterior tib...

Can't figure it out...

things that make you go hmmmmm

 

[Exodus]

hmmm........could have been the enormous weight or the suit on the squat.......... but from my days as a trainer it was probably from the sled drive i would think. maybe the clean and jerk depending on how hard you slammed your feet down on the clean???

do some front calf raises with no weight while, sitting in a chair. that always seemed to help me with shin splints.......... i dont know how much that would help here though.
