    Thumbs up Wow.



    You seriously hack squat 540? That's impressive. Do you powerlift professionally? How much do you power squat?

    Thanks... Yeah the 540 was a big mistake. My knees still feel weird from that. I damaged something.

    I always loved the bench press and did not really train the squat and dead. I usually squat 3-4 times a year. I'm starting to pick up the pace this year. I probably squatted more this year then the last 3 years put together.

    My best lifts are 680 squat in briefs and wraps no spotters at the gym, 610 bench at the 10/06 meet. 550 dead lift. 99.9% of the time I train alone and I can't go as heavy as I want.

    I do powerlift professionally. I've been on the injured bench since 10/06. I tore my suprasinpatus, full thickness tear. That was my last comp.

    I am planning my come back for a meet in Tribes Hill, NY on 10/08.

    I am going into maintenance mode.

    I have 11 months left on my GI Bill and I am going to pursue CCIE certification, the black bet of the networking world. The written is $315.00 and the lab (8hrs) is $1400.00 plus airfare and hotel. The VA will pay for the tests pass or fail. On average it takes 2.8 attempts to pass the lab. In order to pass I need to dedicate every waking moment to studying. I can do all things through Christ.

    It looks like your body is starting to take its toll. That is another potential injury right there. You should consider working your rotator cuffs.

    starting strength coach development program
    powerandvelocity I will add some cuff work.
    I get sick of it I have been doing cuff work for the last 5 years and it does not help too much.
    You name it I did it for months on end.
