    Wow, that was basically a paused squat.

    It's "raw with wraps," it is it's own record category. But yes, it's raw. With wraps. At the weights they're pushing, I'd be wearing knee wraps, too.

    Wraps add, what, 300 lbs? A belt is worth at least 150 lbs. Footwear is probably 100 lbs or so. The singlet is good for 50 lbs. The nose tork being used is worth 200 lbs. I figure he really only squats 242 lbs raw-raw, by these calculations. And that's not even vegan raw-raw. Because steak is cheating. He probably uses cell tech, too. Only squats 100 lbs irl.


    Shug, you still lifting beltless?

    Steak has creatine in it. Clearly cheating.

    I'm never impressed by anyone that lifts more than me. Especially if they lift a LOT more than me. Or lift more than everyone else in The world. That's definitely not impressive, at all.

    When you say "I'm natty" you mean you can't afford his level of stacks?
