You won't hit that plateau on Candito... Not for a long long time, like a year++ non stop.

Good on ya teaching the kids young. I wish someone was around to teach me the importance of health and strength when I was younger. Instead I learned all the ways to no get healthy and strong on my way to getting healthier and stronger, Ha!

I hear that man, that and if we had actually listened to advice when we were all younger we would all be better off. I'm out got some zzzz and gains to be had

Stand on the bosu ball in that position and do fast squats while holding a 14# medicine ball straight out from your body. It really gets the legs going.

I have 50 on you and I've never pulled over 445, I 3 repped it, but I've never had more than that on the bar. It seems 405 is when people start looking. Especially my gym. I'm pretty much the strongest guy there at the time that I go.its a nice ego boost.:thumb:
