Ok now that were caught up, a few things -

• Sorry I have no videos I lost my phone and all the video on it, I now have a new better phone and upload everything to google+ so it won't happen again
• I have a list of things to post on so expect many things in the coming days and weeks, it's going to be a good summer ( more so if you start training with me now for that so cal body you desire, several of you have already reached out that's awesome)
• I finally bought a pulldown/low row machine - the gym is coming together

Here's a shot of Wes

The angle is awkward and looks like he's about to fall over - but it is quite the opposite. When Wes started working with me he didn't like to squat or deadlift heavy anymore because he got bad pain in his back during the exercise and for a few days after. With a few tweaks and ideas over the course of a week here is Wes in all his glory squatting over 230lbs for 15 reps after already doing two sets of 5 at the same weight, and this of course after he hadn't squatted anything over 185 in months without pain!
We set the technique and his mind straight and on target, added a few mobility drills prior to every workout, and now were shattering records left and right all without pain....
