    I haven't seen one of these races pop up in a while but could use some rivalry to motivate me (realised I haven't really progressed my squat/deadlift in a couple of months).

    Rules: belt and knee sleeves only (or without knee sleeves - I don't care) and video proof

    Recent best is 413lbs 2x5. Hoping to do this by summer. Anyone want to?

    I should be right there with you, at around the same time. I'm projecting 420x4 today as my top set on heavy day. I'll keep my progress posted!

    I'll participate by bringing up the rear. My best is 455 last June or July but only did 440 at the Fall Classic. So this is more of a year end goal for me.

    OK, 500 has been a goal of mine for a while. Best squat in competition is 463 back in January.

    Vegetarian lol? Oops must've been a typo when I originally joined. I'm actually a vagetarian.

    Any of your female relatives can confirm.

    They said it's a good thing you know how to use your tongue, because your little baby carrot did nothing but make them giggle.
