I think he's squatting bodyweight for triples now. He's getting there. Be nice.
Sam is definitely very pretty, but needs some more experience as a spotter. I think her gloves do match her purse, though.
I don't remember the exact evolution of how I came to this set-up, but it's been about a year in the making at this point. At the meet I did in December, 2012, I distinctly remember having trouble getting set up in a decent arch on their competition bench, which at the time I usually did after unracking the bar, by using the weight of the bar to help push me down into position. I realized at that point I needed a better set-up, but couldn't and didn't bench for about 6 months after that shoulder injury. So I've been playing with it the past year or so, making minor adjustments along the way.
