If you are in the Cleveland area or are ever traveling through, this gym is a must visit. It's about 45 minutes from me and one of my best friends, Nuke trains there, so I train there every once in awhile.

We squatted on the giant cambered bar, which I love and not too many gyms have.

Giant cambered bar squat:
bar x 5
135 x5
225 x 2x5
315x2
365x2
405x1
455x1

I felt really good after the fist few sets. I would have liked to take another heavier one but it was just the two of us and I didn't have a spotter. Plus, for whatever reason I was pretty light headed and seeing some stars on a could of the earlier sets.

Speed Deadlift vs elitefts average bands
4x1 @ 315 lbs plus bands
4x1 @ 365 lbs plus bands
2x1 @ 415 lbs plus bands

This was the first time I've deadlifted in a couple months and I felt pretty good.

Farmers Walk with the Elitefts rickshaw and medium fat grips
3 carries, approx. 60 yards each, with 180 lbs in plates and I'm guessing the rickshaw weights 75-100 lbs unloaded. Either way, it was hard but felt great.
