Full-Gear Back Squat:
Gear:
- Inzer Hardcore Squat Suit
- Inzer Power Surge Red Line knee wraps
- Belt
AH YES. THe joys of the squat suit.
473 x 1, straps down w/ belt
495 x 1, straps up w/ belt
518 x no depth, straps up w/ knee wraps and belt
Ricardo, a 242 USPF guy who just moved to San Bernardino called my depth on the last one. Said I was about an inch above parallel.
So for next time:
- Chalk the back of the suit. On the 495 and 518 the bar felt unstable against the suit. THis doesn't happen against a t-shirt.
- Bury all squats. Whatever I think depth is, go deeper.
- The compression is unreal. Good think I've started contest prep far out from the meet.
- My knee wraps apparently suck. Mike said they were "training wraps", he has a pair of Titan wraps that I'll use next time.
Removed all gear/belt
RIppetoe-Style Standing Overhead Press:
198, 4 x 4
NOTE: cleaned all the first reps to the standing position
Good Mornings:
187, 3 x 8

2 stretchy bands = training
3 stretchy bands = competition.
Nice work on the squats, you horse thief.
You should set a box at parallel and squat to that (if you're training alone, which I presume happens sometimes). If you're training with people always have then give verbal cues to go lower, then to squat it up. It seems like a bad idea to intentionally go lower than necessary because you don't want to do that in competition.
Yeah, the 518 was high mainly cuz I haven't worn knee wraps in like a year and a half. I'm used to "feeling" for the turn-around point without gear. So just need to keep practicing the gear.
JURGENS YOU SHEEP STEALER, NEXT TIME IT'S YOUR HEAD
Also, I just saw the photo shoot of you with the new gear. That all looks like a keeper. I would just wear it until it breaks in.
