I’m going to posting video highlights of my training for the next 6 weeks in here. I’ll start with my 585x4 video
I’m so sorry that the video came out sideways :-/
Nice work. Are you going to do raw classic or raw modern at the meet?

You changed to a lower bar placement?

I have.
Since I’m not wearing knee wraps, I have to make up for leverage somehow. I found that high bar squats in powerlifting are better for knee wrapped squats since the high bar has to the potential to bounce the lifter out of the hole and knee wraps will exacerbate that effect.

Holy crap, that’s great! Looking at your videos I thought you were a 220 or 242. Looking like you’re getting set for a great total! Amateur or pro division?

I’m still using the principles of the Block Concept but my training has definitely gone towards looking like Mike Tuchscherer’s RTS programming.

In RPS, total greater than 1475@198 is automatically Pro.
