    That's actually a legitimate lift in Crossfit. It's the Drop-n-Tumble.

    Control the weight, don't let the weight control you.

    Wait.. say that again, man

    Don't let the weight control you, you control the weight?

    the last thing you need to deal with after you just failed on a heavy set of squats, is being tripped up by the squat rack.... I'm not surprised he had trouble keeping his balance!!

    duly noted re the fact that I want to buy a power cage

    As I failed on a squat Thursday, I was VERY thankful I had a power cage catch my bar. :wink:

    Wow! Remember how a while back I was strongly trying to sway you more towards the power rack. .. :)

    Yep. That's why pro gyms usually do it.
