Meanwhile in Brazil …
Fernando Reis squats 320kg for a double.
Last double I posted from him was with 300kg in 2012.
Update 13.06.2015: Fernando posted this top set of 340kg to his instagram…time to invest in some skinnier plates!

that bar whip has to make it harder…or does it make it easier?
easier. momentum + the weight breaks through the bar rather than the lifter
Depends. Usually harder from anecdotes from Olympic lifters PB’ing through stiffer bars and powerlifters finding the oscillation screwing up their timing.
Kevin James has a strong squat!
