Nice Mike - it's fun to watch you get strong.

IMO you need to work on the time it takes between unracking and your first rep. For injurys sake it is safer to take one step and plunge away - I know you compete w/ Monolifts, but still.

Either way you are deff. KILLING THAT SHIT

nice. is there something special how you hold onto the bar while working with chains?

 

[BigPun81]

Doesn't it become less weight the lower you go because the chains are sitting on the floor?

 

[youngguns]

Yes it does become less weight that's the point, more weight at the top. Why do you use that thing to hold onto the bar?

I've never used chains and don't intend to, but I don't understand why you'd want to lighten the load in the bottom. IOW, what's the point of squatting 185 out of the hole?

Im prettty sure thats why they do box squats as well?

thanks on the reply, the reason for the chains is to get the weight off. i compete in powerlifting and wear the gear, chains are more of a speed exercise and learning how to accelerate through the hole....

thanks

I fuckin' love it! I'm going to start hanging shit from the bar. Not only is it a good speed movement, but I just want to see everyones face at the local gym. lol...
