Looks like you're still tearin it up Big J. You've got the video thing down. I'm not so savvy. Somewhere there's a video of my 800 lb rack pull but the kid never sent it to me. He wasn't around for the 855 though. Love those rack pulls! Great log here bro, free supps, contests, videos, and that awesome squat technique. You rock! Keep up the work. Agree on the pullovers, I think Rob showed me an article that called the pullover "The squat for your back." Weight and strength go up and next time you go to the cable pulldowns....watch out.

Thanks man :)


Sidenote: Is there something extra that makes squatting in the cage better than out of the cage?

just the security of failing bro.

even though im 99% sure your squatting with bumper plates anyway.

when your pressing that much weight should probably have some safety rails happening, just in case.
