375# + bands ( 850# at top ) FAIL! Misgrooved this big time towards the bottom and the bands kicked my ass! Got a great video of this! lol. No video of the 830, forgot to hit record.

SMOKED! In desperate need of a deload next week. This is my first time doing a 3 week cycle with so much band tension. I had expected to go a bit heavier today, but needless to say the bands have kicked my ass these past 3 weeks. After this deload we will start our 2 week cirqua max cycle where it will be less band tension and more bar weight. Nate had a great day today taking about 1,000# at the top and making it look easy with his straps down still. You can see the video on the youtube page above. I will be very surprised if Nate does not squat 1000 at his next meet.
