@DeanTTraining In what world is this reckless? Spotter present, clearly he can handle the weight given how the first rep went. What are we doing here?

@DeanTTraining @PratikxPatel Have you ever worked with football players? Max strength is programmed into most annual training plans and a 1 RM on back squat is perfectly safe if done with proper technique.

[Robert Rosenthal @ALionEye]

This golf tournament is gonna come right down to the wire. Four shots is nothing in team golf and the 5th place team (North Carolina) is only four shots back. Five teams could win this.

Max currently leads by one in the individual race.

@RandyToye1 @DPiper247 Surely you’re not talking about the guy that lead a top offense in the nation the last two years?
