Would you like to post any video clips of your lifts to add to the forum?

yup!, thats what he wanted me to do, even though I put it down like a baby.
I was wearing shoes anyway, hopefully I'll pull that weight standing on my 5"block in a few weeks.

The gym is directly above a Kenpo school, which they have good relations with. I suggested bumper plates... even sent them a direct source.

They ain't going to listen to one man's needs Dan. Get a bunch of folk to raise hell and maybe they would listen. course, there's probably about 3 others there that deadlift other than you guys .

Nah, just one other guy that deadlifts.

I'm actually thinking about buying my own set and brining it in when I start training there more often.

They might let ya leave it there (if you wanted). I know Exmgq made a bunch of boards and also bought a deadlift lift because he got tired of loading the plates the hard way, and just left it at the gym. The owner didn't mind.

That's, IF YOU WANT to leave your stuff there. lol

I just wish the angle was better, it was a good ways past parallel, but it's really hard to tell cuz the plates are in the way!
