I got a freespotter a few weeks ago. $130 for a monolift you release yourself and it spots you, happy with it so far and I've loaded 630 LBS on it. I train with my brother but it is kind of hard to hold boards and spot at the same time.
Never heard of this freespotter until today. I'm totally intrigued... This might be one of my next gadgets. Do you use yours inside the power rack?0 -
Yep, I hang it from the rack so I can still use the pins, bands, etc. I just use my old bar for deadlifts so I don't have to take the new one out of the freespotter.
While I'm here, I might be in on this. Probably raw since I'm still learning my gear.0 -
thats pretty epic. might look into this.0

indeed. nicely done!0 -
haha. the good ol roll of shame.
I remember reading an article from Matt Kroc where he was talking about how he never failed bench press...until one day training alone. And he got pinned under band tension and couldn't get it off. So he had to yell for his wife hahah
If I did that with my wife I am not sure how she'd help. Have to unloaded it a plate at time of each side. Probably after she'd of taken a picture of me0 -

ya know if you cut to 181, you'd be terribly close to an elite total.0 -

Yeah, if I hit my squat at 500, I'd have been in the neighborhood. Lots of work to do. When I started training I thought it would be really cool to go 3/4/5/...now I'm thinking 4/5/6 sounds pretty cool. Again, LOTS of work to do.0 -
Ok here's my first lift. Judges: is this deep enough?
Squat 315 lbs
BW 153.2
scale (full disclosure: this was the morning after): http://i.imgur.com/6RvVo.jpg

If we're going by SPF standards, you'd get 3 whites
Squat would have maybe passed from the front but you'd get reds from the side judges, IMO.0 -

It's a damn good total at your weight man.
I'm working towards the 3/4/5 now. It's looking like my squats and deads will be there this year, but bench is way behind hahha0 -
Just letting everyone know I'm still in the game - gotta represent the SHW class 0

I vote for YouTube - for security reasons, some of us are very reserved when it comes to using Facebook.
How about this for rules:
1. You get 3 video submissions per lift (prevents people from just posting video after video of their PRs - you get 3 chances to make your max lift)
2. You submit a photo of your weight on the scale before your first video is posted - you are then given a 5 pound variance for the month.
3. You have one month to make your lifts (I suggest this start on Nov 1 and end on Nov 31) - gives us time to prepare.
4. You are permitted to use lifting belts, straps, knee and elbow wraps. No squat suits or bench shirts.
4a. You are not disqualified for using suits or shirts, but you will be set in your own division for judging.
Scores will be calculated using Glossbrenner, with the 5 pound variance stated above. This will give you a high-low range. Your range will then be compared to the other competitors.
As for judging of lifts - I'll leave that to someone else. I'll have a certified judge watching my lifts in the gym, to make sure I'm doing it right.
Quoting because its the best set of rules anyone came up with and I vote we should be running with it. My weigh in pick and first attempt vids of each lift will be up by saturday.0 -
I'll post vids when the vid guy uploads them.0

225 lb bench press tonight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrBAM93AnnU
very slow. is it considered valid?
p.s., is it ok to post the lifts as they are recorded, or better to wait till they're all recorded and then make 1 reply with all of them?0 -
I looked at the lift one time at full speed. Like you would have to judge one. I may have missed something but that happens when you get to view stuff over and over in super slow mo.
The speed of it looked fine. The side angle is hard to tell about your lockout and if you became motionless on your chest. Feet and butt looked fine, may have been an uneven lockout with the right arm slow.
Overall, the lift looked good, from the angle the video was taken I would give it a white light.0 -
@TASO about your squat. You needed more depth, not alot but still need to get down some more. There may be many different things that will help you get there. Other angles are needed to make good suggestions. One thing is try to keep a more up right posture. (I am very bad about this ... too many years doing "football" squats.)0
-
Bench looked fine Taso. The lockout looked fairly even, and i didn't see the bar move downward.0

Look good out of the hole but during the meet, the judges will ask you to pause the lift right when you get to the bottom. So you can't bounce the bar off your chest. Not that you did that. But you have to wait until they say "lift" before you go back up.0 -
