so are you an oly lifter playing with body building/powerlifting, or a wanne be body builder who happens to be a pretty good oly lifter?

@str94100 mh good question! I will say all of the above! On Mondays I'm a powerlifter, on Tuesdays a bodybuilder, on Wednesdays an O'lifter, on Thursdays I'm an explosive strength maniac, on Fridays I'm a basketball player and on weekends I'm on crutches, drunk and pissed off at the whole world cause the gains are never coming fast enough!!!!! But on mondays I usually start over.

Do you have access to squat racks? What are those platforms under the weight you are using. Yes you are a beast and I am not trying to give advice I am just wondering why you are using those platforms. Compared to you I am a geek. Please tell answer my question Chez.

@watsby7 The rack is a must for heavy squat but none is needed for dynamic lifts. The blocks are to start from a high position. Because you don't accelerate from the floor, the acceleration should take place after the bar has passed the knees. Furthermore it doesn't allow to take advantage of the eccentric portion, thus working on starting strength, or the ability to transition from a relaxed muscle to maximal contraction in the shortest time possible.
