You bet. Your squat numbers look very solid.

Since I have gotten serious about the GHR, I feel that my posterior strength has made great gains as well as my deadlift

Damn. I have serious GHR envy.

If you're handy with the wood you can make a poor man's GHR for not a lot of money. Or if you prefer, 300 bones would get your Sorinex's Poor man's GHR. It's actually much harder than a regular GHR.

I got a wild hair up my ass a couple weeks ago and hit a 400 x 1 on the box squat. It was ugly but it went up.

Pre workout: 3 RPM

Peri workout: 10g pro/15gcho

Post workout: 30g whey/10g creatine mono/ 35g gatorade

Halo Press: 110 x 5 x 2
Nautilus Nitro Pullover: 177.5 x 8 x 2
-Supersetted with Radar Chest Pull: 3 (5 second holds) x 2
Barbell Curl: 71 x 8 x 2
Nautilus Lateral Raise: 126 x 8 x 2
Nautilus Nitro Rear Deltoid: 123 x 8 x 2
External Rotations: 5lbs x 13 x 2

Another good workout. It's quite surprising how much burn the external rotations can impart on already whipped shoulders. Since bringing back the pullover and rear deltoids, my upper back is looking thicker, which is a nice bonus, plus my deadlift form is a bit tighter.

You have a writeup of video example of external rotations? I'm not familiar with the exercise.

Good workout. Keep hard at it.
