Haha rich froning. I need to always exploit the bounce, make each rep easier. Pause squats at useful for adding a layer of difficulty but SL is soon going to get weighty for me. I think my goal in the next 6 months would be to get to 300#

300# squat reps and 2x body weight DLs. Let's do this.

Rich Froning is a beast. Kind of a douche, but a fit mo fo for sure.

Yea he grates my nerves but no denying he wins at CrossFit.

But if you wanna see some serious squats then check Lu

That's 260 kg squats and only weighs 73 kg. looks effortless

He is the WR holder for snatch and total (snatch plus clean and jerk) for the 77 kg class.

Holy shit that's humbling. And I was just thinking there's no way I'll reach 300# squats.

I think its doable. Vid said that lots of people get caught in the 250-260 range for a bit and then slowly make gains over time. So who knows how it will pan out.

Next week is a deload week. Probably a good time given the stupidly large amount of traveling I'll have to do.

dont mention deadlift stuff around vid he might go nuts!

Good day today PR'd a clean at 210. Almost had 215!

Good position with the bar here atleast. Its close right on my hips/abdomen and I am getting good extension.

what shoes are you wearing??

I have been wanting to get some decent shoes to lift in since I do most of my lifts barefoot. I feel that I can spread my "wide" foot better than in any shoe. The only thing is that I wish I had some elevation in the heel. Anyone know of some decent onces that wont break the bank? Prob under $100.
So far I see the Adidas Powerlift 2.0 as the only option at that price range.

Rebook crossfit lifters

I've found them down to $100 clearance but nothing less

heres a few recommendations

the feel nice when you squat I will say. Not an awful investment since you wont be wearing them outside of the squat rack 99% of the time

The wifes car just went into the mechanics shop, so my tentative show purchase is now on hold! gotta keep lifting bare foot for now.

Nothing wrong with barefoot lifting.

Killer Oly lift day. PR all over the place. 165# snatch, 185# clean and jerk. 225# clean.

Nice work Nick! What kind of plate setup did you get with the bar?

I hit 230# squats 5x5 and 310# DL 1x5 last week. Been seven days of gluttony since. Fat bastard needs to lock it down after the New Year.

right now I have nothing but id like to get maybe pairs of 10, 25, and 45 bumper plates so I could do up to 205. Mostly would be good for technique drills for snatch and clean.

I have not done a SL session since before Xmas eve since Im away from the uconn gym. Resume that as soon as I can.

Grats on those damn nice numbers. Solid progress. Its been a megafoodgluttony week since Xmas eve, Easily gained 5+ lb
