OMG Diablo! 💛 

Wow, that’s like carrying two teenagers on your back!! But you make it look easy. 

Thanks, I'm not trying to brag about the weight, it's just how much I happened to have on there for the pic. I haven't really done squats in a long time so it's still light compared to what I used to do before some back injuries. 

Looking at that picture and reading the words "back injuries" is downright spooky. Great picture, but be careful! 😳 

Looking great diablo. 🏋🏻‍♂️ 

Wow!! 255 is light. My word. You are made of steel or iron or cement or something!! 😲 

But but but the 255# makes the leg muscles pop! 

Hold up.. Can I ask.. what do you mean by third gym? Like third time working out at a gym today? 😳 

It's the third gym I have access to. PF, local jail gym, and this one. Not three workouts. I've been known to do that before but not currently haha! Yes, Melissa, that's why the belt is on. I am trying to be careful. So far so good. Thanks. Keyten, it sure feels like a pillow compared to the bare bar. 😁 

That was the idea Peeper. 😜 

Oh doi, that makes sense! It’s so awesome to have variety with your gyms. Hope they stay open for you guys, you are totally in your element. 

Thanks, Rosio, I just saw your post! 

All around great body on top and bottom. Nothing out of balance. 💪🏼🦵🏼♥️ 

Impressive as usual, bro. If you were straining, you hid it well. You look fantastic, dude. There aren’t 3 gyms open in the entire state of NC. Going on 5 months without 😕. Do some reps for me! 💪🏻 👊🏻👍🏻🙌🏻 

Thanks, DP <3. Jheeden, thanks and man, that would drive myself and DP mad. I'll do some extra work in your name. :D 

Thanks dude. Upper body needs to be put through the ringer badly lol. Thankfully I am cardio fit due to all the miles I’ve been logging each day. Just a different kind of fit. Once all these kids move out I’ll put in a gym. Then, NEVER AGAIN will anyone tell me I can’t work out 🏋️‍♀️  

power, man, stout! wow "only 255" ...ha! ... that's where i am at, finally, and i strain to get two sets of 8 in. question, though, we have a safety squat bar at our club - you recommend using it over straight bar? i may try it out this AM. though we do have a variety of leg press machines that i am thinking about using, over traditional squat, for ease of use.  

always in beast mode. I don't think there's an off switch.  

Breco, I wouldn't change anything if you're comfortable. I just like that it simulates hack squat. One of the annoying things for me with a regular squat is putting my hands so far back to grip the bar, with this I can balance it with my hands far more forward. Leg presses are great. Go for it! 

No off switch, everyday is leg, chest, back, and arm day. 😁
