Zimbo, just saw your comments on my log. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work. One thing I have found as I get older is that I very seldom try only 1-2 reps with a max weight. It takes too much ut of me.

Thanks Buckeye, I seem to be directly opposite as I function well on 5 or less reps and do not have any problems with singles. But I also know that everyone is different and 391 at your weight and age deserves a lot of respect.

Actually I use the cross armed method for front squats and it almost made it easier with the diameter of the bar. I would have used a regular bar but one partner was benching and the other was doing deads so I just decided to let them do their own thing and experiment with the fat bar.

Nice platform (deficit) pulls, I always love doing those, but that always seem to throw off my reg pull timing. Have you ever seen this? The issue is to get a great decitict pull i really need to drop my hips, problem is when i go back to reg pulls Im still dropping them like im on the boxes.

I just love seeing guys our age putting up big weights. I hope to run into you at a meet someday while we are both being competitive. Great job and good luck

The issue is to get a great decitict pull i really need to drop my hips, problem is when i go back to reg pulls Im still dropping them like im on the boxes.

That's the difference between guys that play with weights and those that reach their potential. Too many people look for any excuse to miss a workout where guys like you workout no matter what.
