I love the arch, once the lats are engaged it's a whole new lifting experience. It's been difficult to step away from that technique and bench with standard form to bring the bp back to a chest development movement.

Randal bro, that was just AWESOME!
Just like Weekend, I'm still having trouble arching as I should. But that video def motivated me to keep working on the technique.
Dude, you're getting stronger and stronger. Thanks for starting this BROOTAL STRENGTH log! I know I am def inspired by it!!!
(too bad I watched this vid AFTER I benched today :( )
i would call that position a full decline. good for competition but for my purposes i would rather just use the decline bench lol. i would probably cramp up with that much of an arch. but i havent seen a video of myself since i improved my form. so i'll post one up in 2 weeks when i try that 315
doing dumbbells next week so that wont work too well on a vid lol
If you guys really want to get and hold that hardcore arch, try using a belt. I did develop a great arch before I ever started using a belt, but the belt is just AMAZING!!! I'm glad I could be a motivation for you guys.
Hit 450# on squat earlier. Thasts a 70# training PR from the last cube we ran. I did hit 430# last week, which was a grinder, but this week was much different with 450. My back was still a little tight from DLs so I didn't push it any further. I'm sure I could have gotten 470, but I didn't wanna risk it or be greedy.
Vid to come NOW!!!
RRR 450 Squat - YouTube
I think I hit right at parallel, not deeper, right at. I need to work on all these things, but the weight flew up. Like I said earlier, my back was real tight from earlier in the week, so I stayed smart and stopped.
Now that was a good looking squat! Well done
I would say that the depth is great for low bar and almost sumo.
But with my stance which is more common, no one ever goes low enough!!
Awesome work, I haven't the nuts to put that much weight on me spine.
whats your favorite accessory core work?
my obliques and lower back are weak links as far as my eyes can tell.
anyone remember that dude BROOTAL from pp forums? lol
NICE! NICE! NICE! You are absolutely SMASHING the weight, bro! Stronger than ever and making it look easy. I'd agree that from what I could see in the vid, it was a regulation depth. To go deeper AND heavier within a week... really really impressive, bro.
You are also making me miss squats, which are out of rotation until I find out if my knee will let me do them anymore. :mad:
