Nate came rolling into the gym Monday night and said he was in the mood to do something stupid in gear(he's a raw lifter). One of the guys at the gym a few weeks earlier made the claim he could unrack 1200lbs and non of us really agreed lol. So I said Nate why don't you just beat him to it and unrack 1200. I didn't take much convincing lol.

I played the Undertakers music, I found it fitting in case something went catastrophically wrong haha. Nate actually unracked it very easy. Thats 300 more pounds than he's ever had on his back before.

Here is a video of Nate workin up in squats. He was getting ready to attempt 900lbs in a single ply, most he has ever tried, and he has a history of hips shooting violently. So needless to say all of us were so concerned about spotting no one remembered hooks lol. Bush league stuff, first time using a monolift.

Lastly, Dave was trying to get ready for squats and Freya walked up and laid down right in the middle of the monolift lol, it was awesome!
