Adam suggested I try deadlifting in flat shoes (as opposed to my squat high heels), I ordered Sabo HD

Oh and I also got a Texas squat bar, knurled most of the way across. I love it. I know my squats aren’t big, but my back has the old guy hunch and the bar always slips higher rep by rep. I hate it getting up on my traps/neck on that last PR rep. Problem solved.

Beautiful bar Richard!

[Richard Durbin]

Thanks Bill, I can hear it clinging to my shirt as I peel out from under the bar after a set.

I haven't commented for a while and wow you are doing great! Congrats Richard!

[Richard Durbin]

Thanks Fred! I’m hopeful having my deadlift 100lb over my squat will avoid my old upper back pain thing.
