The closest I've gotten to figuring it out is pausing where I want, then capturing it to camera roll.
 
no false grip. I usually don't roll back tho. I may do it tho if I find myself rolling back more

I just did a screenshot there from photos but in iMovie you can stop at a specific second and screen shoot it

Not bad for a first suited session. Form will need work. The weight was light. Battling the suit was hard. First time I've squated that wide, I felt my hips wondering around lookin for parallel, hence the butt dip at 405. Once I watched the video I was able hike the back of the suit up a tad more and I focused on pushing out harder and opening my knees more and that helped. Advice is more than welcome.

Longass workout. I put the suit on inside out to get it up my legs, then realized I hiked them up WAY to far. Took it off, sat a few minutes hating myself then put it on right side out and just shimmied around to get the legs up.

No workout tomorrow. OHP/CG incline/rows/lunges on Saturday.


Oh...video updated via iMovie... ;)
 
May want to work on your walkout, looks like a lot of energy and stabilization wasted.

Thanks for the tip man. Def felt wobbly. The rack I have at work is obviously crap. My mobility felt pretty restricted. I'll post up video again next time and work on it.
 
It'll take a little time for the posterior chain to catch up to the compression so that's not a big deal. With single-ply, keep your normal stance and just sit back a bit more than a raw squat. Single-ply doesn't stop you in your tracks like multi-ply does and you don't need to have a wider stance.
 
I'll try my normal stance again. My knees just felt very 'off' when I was working up in weight. At the time maybe I didn't realize how hard I had to sit back.
 
Would it be a stretch to say that the suit favors a "low bar" style?
 
No clue. I prefer low bar in general. I've heard some guys use a high bar if the straps are thick to prevent rolling back. I dunno how true that is obviously.

Good work in here man.... Just got all caught up. Looks like you'll be handling some real big weights in no time.

Thanks man. I'm very confident in a 600+ squat. Dunno about anything else tho..

I wanted a 600lb squat when I was using my suit. I just didnt have enough time to adapt to the heavy loads. I was able to hit 550lbs for singles and doubles after a few weeks but once I got under 600lbs, it felt like a million pounds. Some day, I plan to get back into a suit but for now I want to improve my raw numbers.

Bells Amber Ale, a Michigan beer. Wife and kid are playing volleyball. Just me and the pit bull.

And I'm mad I didn't get a 3 amigos reference...

All I recall is the salute. I haven't seen it in probably 20 years.

I'm thrilled you're drinking a craft beer...I have not been disappointed this day. I'm a TOTAL beer snob.

It was either bells or Guinness, sometimes I like to chew my beer...
 
I'm an Arrogant Bastard guy, failing that I like beers from the He'Brew brewery amongst other dark, hoppy ales.

I'm a huge fan of pause squats. I track PRs on them. Best is 465x7-8sec. It helped me big time with depth. Brandon Lilly and Mark Bell have a video on cube explosive day and they mention pause sets. That was my first time doing it with a SSB. I keep them at my competition depth, not ass to grass.
 
How are those conventional deads with briefs? I definitely can't reach the bar conventional in mine.
