I tol' ya. Best money you guys will spend.
Coach-
Just would like to do as so many others have done and say thank you for the books and your online teachings. It has changed my life.
I have always been a skinny guy. When I played Texas football back in the 90's, I was a 120 lb guard. Believe that I was the smallest in Texas in 1990. Coaches tried like hell to make me grow, but the one thing we left out of the equation was the food. I never grew.
When I started lifting last March, I couldnt finish 3x5 at 135 on squats, 135 on bench, and I was so worn, I didnt even attempt deads. I kept at it...
I am 37 years old, have gone from 170 lbs to 200, and my weights are as follows
squat- 230
deads- 310
OHP- 135
Bench- 185
Clean- 155
I know that these numbers are not the biggest or greatest, but they are milestones to me. I look forward to continuing to get stronger. I will never forget how happy I was when I pulled 300 on deads or when I had finally loaded up with 4 45lb plates on the squats.
I got my Rogues in today and lifted with them for the first time- what a difference a pair of shoes make. I recommend to everyone to get some weight lifting shoes.
Once again- thank you sir

Hell yea- I recently bought a pair of the VS010's when my linear progression was stuck at 3*5@315lbs. With the shoes linear progression resumed and i am now at 3*5 @ 340lbs. Well spent money. The only shitty part is that they are kinda ugly - especially at the globo social scene.
