"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."
My attempts to create more starting speed failed. Rushed things, did not get or keep my legs stiff. figured it out though 175 x 1 195 x Mis...

2 white lights I'm assuming? I laughed out loud at that part on your DVD.

Glad you got to watch the dvd and that you liked it.Would love the testimonial,thanks.
Good stuff Rif! How did your squat become bigger than your deadlift?
fawn
the gear helps the squat more than the deadlift :))
I loves my squat suit.
573 is awesome Rif! Frickin unreal!
thanks franz,I really dont miss heavy benching or deadlifting but I miss power squats all the time!
Very nice squat! You must have competed in several different sanctioning bodies over the years. Which ones were you most heavily involved in?
thanks Steve,
I started out in the USPF, it was the only game in town at the time.
Then, wanting drug free competition I went to the ADFPA and USAPL and was there for a few years but a serious 'holier than thou' attitude and silly gear and technique distinctions ( no denim shirts no thumbless grip) lead me to the APF. That's where I finished my competitions.
I did love the APF's meets and attitude at the time,now it's out of control.Even though the meets were not tested I was still drug free. I just wanted the best environment to do my lifts and wear the geat that worked for me best.
Nice Job!! Thats big numbers for a lighter class!!
