Ridiculous. And by ridiculous I mean awesome! Also - dat depth.
I remember Patrick sending me/pointing me to this vid of yours ages ago. I was ...dafuq. This time watching it - still dafuq.
FWIW and for anyone watching - its a ridiculously hard but completely legit lift.

That's about all I can say about that.0 -
...after watching that, I don't wanna ever brag about what I did at the gym again...
...for what it's worth, I set a new bench PR at 285 and new leg press PR at 1300 today... nowhere near that level of depth, though...0 -

Maybe I should just learn how to do that and forget the cage...0 -
Well I can't top any of Brouse's antics but having said that, I hit a massive PR today.
Previous 1rm squat was 418 set at the USAPL meet in February. Today I hit 420....for a triple. LOL.
Also pulled a new deadlift max at 460. Was going to pull singles at 440 (which is around 97-98%rm) but my second single went up pretty fast so I decided to get it done.

Sheit man, after that third 420 rep I would have gone for a fourth. You didn't quite look like you wanted to die yet. Shart or no shart.0 -

Thank you :flowerforyou:
Are you planning on doing barbell squats? They are a bit problematic without a cage/rack (both from just getting the bar on your back and for safety reasons).
Yes! I am looking now and am wondering about this cool 1/2 rack I saw at Dicks or a cage. If I get the bar before I get the rack/cage I'll either have my son spot me for squats or start split squats. Thanks for asking and making me think ahead!
That is a nice half-cage if I saw the same one, longer safety catches that are adjustable too, and whole thing could be used for bench and incline bench if desired?
I liked that it had a small foot print, and appears it would work with 6 ft oly bar I have at home, if my home-built wooden one ever has issues.

Though I guess this isn't so big either.

Yeah - I was contemplating throwing this vid (or at least a link to it) over in the OHP in a squat rack thread. Someone's already using the squat rack, and you need to do squats? No problem!0 -

All good heybales. OT is totally fine here.0 -
Had a really good paused bench session this afternoon/evening - probably my best one so far - got 2 PRs. Bench is so much weaker relatively than my squat and deadlift that its good to have it progressing well finally.
Ended up with
-137.5lb x 5 for 2 sets (PR)
-142.5lb x 4 (PR)
- 140lb x 3 for 2 ugly sets
Video of my 137.5lb x 5 first set. 1st rep was a bit wobbly but I managed to dig myself in a bit more - I think my azz stayed down (bottom part looked to be on the bench - coz hyooge) but not 100% sure on 4th rep:
