Hello everyone, I've reached a goal of mine, I was shooting to get this in Nov, but I got it about 8 months ahead of time, so it works out good.

I'm 20 years old, about 185 pounds, and this is my first time using knee wraps..this is 100% raw, with a belt and wraps only, and a huge PR for me, and a great mental block breaker too.

My name is John Sirmons(Just wana start getting my name out there)

Anyway, just wanted to share this video, I know my form is not 100% perfect, but if it's a true max attempt, your form won't be.

Thanks for watching, and if you like the video, please rate and comment it, I'd like to get a bit more publicity on youtube.

Thanks and enjoy!

Nice m8, now onto 600?

john, apply to olympics heavy weight team and since usa don't have any dissent participant in any weight class you'll have a good chance to get in
i'm half serious here, rest is up to your ambitions

nice, time to get good so you can teach guys like this that powerlifting is not bodybuilding:

500 at 185(181 and 198 are the weightclasses) is impressive but not olympic level.

A couple of things about the lift:
-Thought you went way below legal, making it harder then it should of been.
-If you want the lift to be counted as raw in a contest you can wear a belt and knee sleeves but not wraps.

Wraps can be wore in my fed.
Either way it doesn't matter, first time I wore them, and I'm not gona wear them except if I only do 1 rep attempts. aka at a meet.

Vogan, I'd rather PL than Olympic lift any day of the week, that may change in the future, but for now I only wana get stronk

Thanks Rew, they will never learn though. lol

Thanks Dan, 505 is next.
