**skiboy1955** · 03-01-2011, 02:32 PM

Okay I will get a lot of crap from my Team for doing these so close to my meet but here are a few squats. Kind of hard to tell with the all black on me tried to put chalk on my shorts to see the area. Only loose knee sleeves.

460lbs

505lbs

540lbs

Thanks but not really.
That is just a little over 2 x my body weight, you do that now or more right?

belts and wraps are for girls and canadians

365lbs x 2 Reps

looks really good , methinks jims gonna say its gotta be a little lower though , made 365 look like cake though !!!

Not yet man, maybe by the end of this comp!!!

**skiboy1955** · 03-01-2011, 05:10 PM

Sleeves are just to keep knees warm ... most of them.
They are no way as strong as wraps, wraps will help a lot more.

Agreed. A tad shallow.

Didn't look like it was really taxing you. Good command of the weight and speed.

My goal is to be able to squat Steve's ego.

Wait, on 2nd thought, I think I better set a reasonable goal.

**bustasinclair** · 03-01-2011, 06:06 PM

Skiboy, you're kicking some ass! Props to you.

For some reason I thought I heard we were changing this contest to belt only, so I did a max lift tonight without knee wraps to get on the board just in case.

Form always makes me cringe. I hate my squat form......bleh

440 x 1

**skiboy1955** · 03-01-2011, 06:31 PM

Bustasinclair, beautiful squat Oly style too!

I use anything I can to help, if legal, belt elbow sleeves, knee sleeves or wraps and wrist wraps, at my age I need every thing I can get to keep up with you young kids! ;-)

Ditto. Looked good to me and besides that's twice your BW...who cares about form??

**PLANETGETLOW** · 03-02-2011, 06:43 AM

Thanks to those that commented and to the others that posted up, you guys are smashing some serious weight. I can't **** with that but I'll give 405 a run pretty soon. I'd like to maybe hit 450 by June....

**paqua17** · 03-09-2011, 10:39 AM

Congrats on the lift! I'm nowhere near the 310 you just lifted but a quick question: any particular reason why you lift the weight off the rack using a staggered stace?

Yea thos thing can bite in thebutt real bad on max effortBut other than that you did great. I thought I saw a little heel lift but you might have pulled your kneed in too which would cause that too.

Congrats!
