A lot of it is in the mind, nice job on the 705 deadlift.

thanks alot man! im working on uploading the videos right now

In powerlifting there is a lifter classification which outlines the "level" you're at. You take your best total and according to your bodyweight it tells you where your at. Elite means just that, its the top of the food chain, you are an "elite" lifter. This is a link for the table, it's in KG's, you just take the weight class (im 100kg) and multiply by 2.2046 to convert to LBS. http://www.usapowerlifting.com/lifterscorner/ipfclass.shtml

sorry for the delay, just uploaded these from fridays workout

heres the video of me doing rows on friday
Pendlay Rows 295x3x3
then i wanted to see what i could rep 315 for so i gave it a shot
315x13

Dave,
First of all, you are one strong son a bitch. The amount of weight that you can lift at your body weight is unreal.

Do you ever mess around with an underhand grip for the barbell rows? I have hit a plateau at 205 the past few weeks and was thinking of switching over to an underhand grip for a while just to break through to the next level. What do you think?

You pull sumo exclusively or just for meets?

thanks man

it would hit your back from a different angle so it may help you break through that plateau, but i always use an overhand grip.

thanks tweak
i made the switch to sumo now about 6 months ago and i have only been getting stronger, i think it definitly suits me. I do pull conventional in training sometimes though, for lockouts or SLDL. I dont think ill ever do conventional in a meet again though.

Nice full squat. Always good to see that. None of that half-squat shit that I see from so many of the big squat attempts, most of which I don't even think should be counted by the judges...
