50 year old former competitor (bodybuilding, powerlifting, and olympic lifting), who will turn 51 in July and looking at competing in either masters mens physique and or masters bodybuilding. Started on 2/27/2012 @ 195.5 and 12.5 %....down to 184.5 and 8.5% as of 5/29/2012. Looking at a show in Wichita at the end of July and the Warrior Classic in August in Colorado. Biggest drawback, in 2000, underwent abdominal surgery, so I ended up with a nastly looking scar (but found out the other night that I can easily conceal with makeup) but dealing with a small hernia that I have to figure out what to do with.

Another Squatting session pic.
I like this movement. Using the SSQTBAR, you can utilize a more upright oly style squat. Combining the bands, you get a nice deload at the bottom, and a nice increase in load as you ascend to the top position.
