Watch that deadlift soar from doing these! One thing I've done in the past year or so is squats using either a safety squat bar or a Manta Ray. The reason I did this was beacuse it puts less strain on your shoulders but what it does do is force you to do is a "high bar" squat thus forcing your back to get stronger since you have a leverage disadvantage. This and the swings I feel have greatly increased my raw deadlift. Just my 2 cents. Nice work! Sandy,
