I think the TXPBR it is, then. Once I raise the funds, the fun will begin.
Thanks, all.

Actually, the JESUP bar is a REALLY good bar. I have trained on one many times.
The problem is that I am so inflexible in my shoulders that I need to squat on a long bar or it tears my shoulders up. Long bars are now hard to come by. Mac Barbell NO longer makes these. I think the only one left is the OKIE bar, which is $450. This is a frigging rip off.
I am currently trying to work on purchasing a long bar from a supplier who doesn't normally sell single units. I will keep you posted.
If you are ok with standard length, get that 1500# jesup bar!

Thanks! I'll do that and save myself 100 bucks if it can compare to the TXPWB.
That Jessup bar isn't a bad deal...if it really is decent quality...

Irish,
Only you could sit there with 555 plus chains on your back while your sitting on the box and have a conversation with your spotter.
Funny stuff,
looked like you were just conversating, like "What should we do, I guess I'll just dump it"
Most of us would have become one with the box after an incident like.
I guess it also reinforces the fact for people to make sure their box is built "well" and sturdy, if you build your stuff shabby and get stuck in a position like Irish and that box gives way on you, you'd be hurtin.
Anyway, you came back and nailed it so it nullify's the miss in my book. Good stuff.
Way to dust your self off and get right back in the saddle.
My suggestion:
"Buy stock in capsicain (capsicane)"
Peace,
Natty Mike

i am so used to bailing squat weights, it is almost second nature.
when i free squatted, my partners would dread the heavy days... not just the danger to themselves when i bailed, but the fact that we would have to reload the bar 2 or 3 times before i finally gave up.
capsicum oleoresin (0.075) is my favorite linament on the planet. the stuff is downright deadly. just be careful with your partner (not your training one) or she will be pissed for days. it is the gift that keeps on giving no matter how many times you shower.

Irish Power,
Excellent training log videos! How many inches is your box set at? I typically perform box squats over a 16 inch box. My hips are strengthening rapidly from performing heavy box squats.

i have my box at 12" now, which puts me close to 1" below. I tried training with it at 13.5", and I was a lot stronger, but I showed up at the next meet and had a lot of trouble hitting depth.
And you need to fully urinate before you rub the stuff on your body. I THOUGHT that soap and water would take it off of my hands...
WRONG!!!
