More random Australia facts...
-Instead of candy, they say "lollies"
-Instead of "how are you doing" or "how are you", they say "how are you going"
-Ketchup is king...I have seen a single mustard packet not even once
-The poorest quality gasoline you can get is 91 octane, and it's about $1.60/L (about $5.60/gal US)
-They have these modern versions of El Caminos/Rancheros that are pretty lulzy and would never take off in the U.S., but have some other car models that I think would have great success.

Sorry, bored.

Here is just my top "made" lifts. Ill get my other attempts put together along with my 601 squat which I stood up with but was called for "contact with spotter"

Still a nice 53PR total and a 83lb squat PR but my deadlift was missing all training cycle.

Congrats man!

[CROMAGS1985]

601 squat which I stood up with but was called for "contact with spotter

The spotter touched you and they penalized you for it? Early? Was it a crazy grinder and he had cause or did he act too quickly?

Basiclly my handler said "up" the spotter stopped moving down I had a delayed before I went up. I didn't feel a thing and it was a slight grind but not horrible.
Oh well would have been a 110lb meet PR on squat.

Man tough call. Most judges miss that...

[bobbydigitaloa]

Man tough call. Most judges miss that...

It was so weird because we were all like "WTF they called depth on that???" and we later found that had the spotter opened his hands, palms up instead of making a fist with the under hooks, they were more likely to pass the lift. The reason we used our spotters is because in the 1st flight alone, 4 lifters either dumped weight over their heads or completely collapsed to the floor and the spotters were literally just looking around like "what happened"...scary.

Man, that was an awesome lift. Great work.

[Marshall28]

Man, that was an awesome lift. Great work.

I'm happy I untracked 600 and walked it out. Then was able to squat hit depth and stand up. Judges will make calls but I see the progress regardless.

[FrmrHoss]

Man, I've watched it over and over and still can't see it. Oh well, good job nonetheless man.

Please tell me why those looked too easy. Nice speed on all those. Bummer about the squat, never heard of someone getting red lights for that, seems like it was kind of out of your control.

This. I didn't see the touch

Well my 3rd bench was 342 and it was the longest battle of my life. Prolly only needed a inch to lock it out.

3rd deadlift I went 595 and got it to my knees. I knew I didn't have it in me based in training.

If I hit that 600 I had 1500 in me. Kyle had me dialed in but I just didn't have get all the breaks.

[xRequiem]

i've been having shoulder issues for the last month. today was volume front squats and the rack position is revealing what could the key to my shoulder issue. I've always used the rack position, so it's nothing new. by the 3rd or 4th rep of a set of 5 my arms would slowly rotate closer and closer to my chest eventually leading to my left hand actually being an inch or two away from my right.

any ideas?
