Thanks man.
That was exactly the idea. Leg position and all. I don't have any stones, so this is the best simulation I can come up with right now.

Nice! How did you make that thick bar?

That's just a 3" diameter piece of PVC pipe from Lowes. It's fit's perfectly over the stops on my standard oly bar, and is lots easier on my joints. However, I found that the thicker the bar, the more it try's to pull you forward. Takes a lot more effort to keep your back straight.

Ahhh....that's good to hear as well. That's one of the other events that is difficult for me to train for.
Hope to hit 335-345lbs by contest time. We'll see.
