This was NOT my big work set, and there was a lift or two filmed with bigger weights, but i'm gonna surpass those before the deadline, so i'm keeping 'em to myself   Anyhoo, here's a preview...

Craig,

How often do you hit the climbing wall in the background?

Yup, sometime training at the local rec center is where it's at ;-)  Gym variety is nice sometimes. 

Dan, that's not the front desk to the whole place, but the rack is still pretty open right there. 

Terry, usually about once a month.  Seriously.  But not as often as i play on the frog slide in the water park area.

It's not so much the weight limit on the frog slide, as it is the size of the opening in his mouth.  It is truly a test to squeeze head first into that thing.  It kinda looks like this one:

Wait 'till you have kids.  the best part is taking them to things like that.."Daddy, will you go on with me?", "Well, if HAVE too."   Craig, I saw you using the wrist straps for F.squats in another vid and looked like you were there as well.  I'll feel like less of a wuss if you do it.

Andrew, I use straps every front squat workout.  I never clean grip the bar.

Craig... nice lift - still looks like a mall in the background .  Maybe I missed the answer, but why do you use straps for front squats? 

Nice depth also... wish everyone video'd their performance.  I'll try and get mine out in the near future.  Not nearly the same scenery in the background, but the weights are real as are is the footware .

Keep it going!  Dave Brown

You deadlifting, Craigor?

I was progressing well until tonight. I attempted 675 but missed it. I'm going to start working in some variations to kick start it again.

Dave - I use the straps because im not flexible enough to clean grip the bar.  They allow me hold the bar and keep my elbows high.

 

Hadley - nope, not yet.  I'm really trying to give the hip flexor a good healing before i try to pull big.  Usually when you miss a weight like that, it's time to stop deadlifting for a few weeks.

I honestly had no idea.  I have 2 as well.  4 years  and 1 & 1/2 years old, both boys.

So anyway, I'm glad you use the wrist straps because if you do it that way then it is automaticly the cool way to do it, simply because that is how you do it. No further rationale is needed. Therefore I am absolved of all feelings of whimpyness for using them.

Great lift! Good motivation for others also. I'll most likely never match you guys in #'s, but hopefully I can get close!

I don't think I've seen anyone in a gym front squat.

Like ever.

Really. Now that I think about it... just my brother and I.

Nice depth.

But... somewhere in Bulgaria...
