I assume the camera gets passed around but who does all the vid. editing? I always like seeing the array of training being done there.

I do the editing. I appreciate it.

[Iceman1800]

I use power director express for editing, works real nice

Nice, thanks for doing them. Btw, I was laughing my ass off this morning. I was watching your latest vid while my son was sitting on my lap watching cartoons this morning. He looks at my phone and starts watching you guys too. Then he sees you squatting and yells SANTA XCER SIZING!!

BTW, how are you liking the new Rhino wraps ? I think you mentioned you were trying out some new ones they haven't come out with yet? How do they compare to say the APT stranglutors or convicts which I believe you've used one of those before.

[Black_Spit]

I like the look of those Anderson Squats. I tried something similar using just the hooks, and it was super hard to get under the bar. Chains ftw.

lol. I've been called santa before.

The super stiff ones are pretty damn close to convicts, maybe a little more stretchy, almost like thin strangulators, either way they're golden. I'm going to pick up another set at the Fit Expo after the meet.

That sounds perfect then for me. I loved the convict/strangulator hybrids which that sounds exactly like that. Will they be releasing them on their site to order at the same time as that Fit Expo?

yeah, the only problem was doing them in that rack, too narrow, my knees are sore today.

I dunno, I have a couple prototype pairs, but I'll make sure to ask her.

M.E. Squat

Squat Opener Night

1@330kg/727lbs
1@365kg/804lbs
1@390kg/859lbs
-804 was fast, 859 was pretty bad...

good things: didn't lose my knee positioning, didn't lose my arch/back on the way down. still finished an out of position squat, meaning back weaknesses have been mostly resolved.

bad things: good morning'd the 390kg, slow, major issue was glutes cramping, need to up hydration, as a consequence bodyweight was low, need to get that up after weigh ins.

opener: 385kg/848lbs
second: 405-417.5kg/892-920lbs
third: whatever I need to make 2400 a possibility

planks
30 seconds @ bwt(308)
2x30s@45lb

Nice work, Bill.

[Doollas]

It looked to me like you took your 859 a touch deeper than the rest and maybe just wasn't used to it. Hard to tell what else might have went wrong from the front.

hah, yeah it was definitely deeper, I think my hips didn't extend quickly enough as my glutes were cramping and that caused the GM.

Just disappointing, need to fix my hydration issues.

[Doollas]

Yeah it was kinda weird...like you were sitting back good with your head up, got real deep, but then sort of transitioned and let your butt slide back and your body bent forward. What's the deal with the cramping lately?
