Yo Scoob, I have a pair of ankle weights, I'm selling them for 1000$. Are you interested?

They could help a ton in your situation, remember, you haven't tried ankle weights yet, so they must have some potential, right?

It would be great for me to do deficit deadlifts, knowing as I can't maintain a straight back in a normal deadlift let alone a deficit one.

Cool!

It's pretty much the same as saying everybody should do high bar ATG squats because everybody should be able to squat like olympic lifters, right?

I have 20 kg plates and 25 kg plates in my gym. I think the 25 kg plates are the bigger (have the longest diameter) so I actually use them for deadlifts.

Good luck getting ANYTHING out of that, Raptor.

Wait... so this is why I was stalling?!

Love the sarcasm.

Damn, you're improving as the day passes in sarcasm, Lance!

The reality is that "strength people" have such narrow views of training... people never have an open mind and actually THINK about stuff. It's sad that we don't have more open minded SMART people that think.

We usually have either the close minded "it's 3x5 exactly as Rippetoe said or it's wrong" or "we need to squat with chains and have two ketlebells attached using bands on a bosu ball with a weight vest and a powerjumper in order to have any "functional" training effect".

So they either are very close minded, or they are very... "flamboyant" in their approach. We need more people in the middle ground when it comes to training.

Now that you know the proper way to squat, I expect you people to conform and adjust.

What's a "toad"?

A toad is any of a number of species of amphibians in the order Anura (frogs) characterized by dry, leathery skin, short legs, and snout-like parotoid glands.

too much heavy half squats as a suggestion from lance got me full repping 455 out of nowhere. i had no idea it had a strong training effect..

all i can do now is watch what i did 1 year ago and say - at least i got it on vid.. not gonna happen that easy again anytime soon.

I wonder where you'd be if you'd have a 400 squat right now.

USA lost with all its steroid abuse. Nothing to see here people!

But I bet Bailey and Gatlin are clean as heck! I mean, they're vegans.
