Jeff, Thanks - I weighed in this morning at 191 - feeling pretty good - "so easy you have to do it twice" - sounds like my approach to dinner! ;) Hope you are well -
Hey when I watched the vid of the 495x2 I thought of this. I'm sure yu will appreciate it.
Treading softly but surely I enter the room I'm like Gary Cooper and now is High Noon My enemy waits near the fire escape door Just waiting to crush, leave me smashed on the floor
The weaker men sneer, but bow down their head I'm walking a path they don't dare to tread The stronger men smile and kind words are spoken I'll leave this place proud or I'll leave this place broken
I'm limber and ready I'm stretched and prepared My foe waits impassive, it knows that I'm scared Now battle is joined as I start my attack The great heavy beast like a bear on my back
My shoulders are aching I sink towards the ground My legs feel like breaking my eardrums now pound The beast pushes down now I use all my might A huge surge of effort I'm winning the fight
I rise like the Phoenix my comrades all yell They've helped and cajoled, They've been through this Hell They've nurtured me, cussed me, been there like true mates I'm one of the guys now I've squatted five plates.
Hi There Brett, I try to keep an eye on your blog... I am reexamining your technique of wedging yourself under the bar. I can see it, I understand it... I am just having trouble figuring out how to do it for myself. I don't have a lot of squatting experience... maybe I just need more practice?
Fantastic squatting performance! It's always great when PR's just seem so easy that you have to do it twice. How're you feeling as a 198?

Hope you are well -
awesome dude~ both sets were excellent. they looked easy too.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of wraps are those?
oh yeah, perfect angle too :))
Nice work! Your looking pretty think there buddy--I think 198's going suit you well. More weight=better leverage, right?
ReplyDeleteHey Brett.
ReplyDeleteAwesome demonstration of strength.
Nice BLOG I will follow.

Geoff,
ReplyDeleteYeah - more weight = more weight - right? ;)
Jacob - I will get you added to me links - hope you are doing well.
Royce - Thanks - that is probably the best "squat poem" i've seen and will probably repost that as a blog soon.
You made that look pretty easy Brett. Keep it up, nice work!
