Squat PR

[blackbeard]

655x2 with suit on straps down
should have been a triple but i just got out of the groove and cut it there..

also had problems getting the bar out of the damn rack..its bending so much its hard to clear the hooks out by the sleeves..problem is the next rung lower is too low..

next time im gonna work from the box and wet her down and maybe pull the straps up

Nice lifting brother, how is that viking suit. How does the material compare to the pro, and did you have your briefs on. Also what do you think it will take you to get down with the straps up.

Nice job my man, keep it up.

the viking material is much stiffer yet it is thinner than the pro material
yeah had the briefs on..i thought about just going with the suit but then figured im not going to lift like that so why bother..

after my last set i dropped down to 585 and pulled the straps up and was planning to just get the feel..I had a huge problem trying to unrack the weight..im going to have to drop it on rung and try from there..

honestly with straps up im not really sure what itll take to get depth lol..most likely high 7's or 800..with the straps up this suit is a tank..keep in mind its slightly big on me which is fine as i keep getting fatter lol

Cool, i guess the 242's are out of the question, lol. I will probably go in my suit saturday no briefs. You don't have velcro straps do you, i may go straps up and see how it feels, not sure.

242's???? yeah i kinda fucked up more likely 275 since im only about 10 lbs under that lol

you can only get velcro if you order direct from Metal
being that im not doing the militia power wars i may send it out to ginny and put some velcro straps on..as is the straps fit fine not difficult for a friend to pull them up but with the velcro itd be nice to start loose then work up to tight!!

That is what i was getting at.

very nice bb .
we have a rubber mat that is about half as thick as the drop from 1 rung to the next that we can throw down on the floor to make it easier to unrack the weight

BB are you able to open your stance up with the weight on your back.

do you mean how wide am i squatting?
i am able to walk the weight back and then set my stance(hard with 6+ on your back) but i do squat as wide as i do on DE day..my feet are under the base of the sumo rack..it makes for a bitch when you wann go rerack the weight to have to bring the feet back together..not to mention trying to bring your stance in close with the viking suit is hard to do minus the weight lol
