Now that I have had some time to look back at that squat, and find out the bar was 60, not 45, I got to feel ok with it being it was the first time I used it. I had no plan coming in, I was just trying to fit in with what everyone else was doing. There was two groups, one using a typical squat bar and working in full gear, the other the group I was in doing chambered bar and chains. Looking back I should have went up another plate for one more set, and dropped some of the raw work. I also need to get a multiply brief, because I can get into a catcher stance with these single ply ones on. If I am going to lift in the multiply world I better have the right fighting power!

With that said, I will get up with Ken this week and start to hash out a plan as to what size I will need. I will prob have to change suit sizes as well because the one I have now is crazy tight, cant imagine if I am trying to get them on over a set of briefs!!!

Gearwhore! ! Great stuff JB! Glad you found a house and accomplished a bunch on top of hittin the weights!

I didn't know you were moving!

I of course, don't know much about gear, but I am glad your going to get it sorted. Not sure if I will be in it this year or not, but I am looking forward to trying it so I undertsand more what you guys are talking about haha

Glad to here that you are getting confidence back ... Here the wt. you are lifting is immaterial ... because everyone knows what you can do when you are 100% fit ... so keep marching ahead Sir ...

Thanks guys, most people will look at 175x10 and think its pretty weak. To be honest, its not real strong, but after the surgery, and at this point I am really happy. I ran the risk of not ever being able to bench heavy again, but at this point I can see a bench pr in 2013!

[Hunterace]

Not weak at all JB! Most average men, many weighing much more than 175, couldn't do that! Your doing it after being wrecked a few months back! It's very inspiring and in a few more months when you blow past my lifts then I can hate you ! Keep workin hard JB!
