First I need to say that I am from Middle/Eastern Europe, so people train with fairly huge volume compared to you Americans (I refer to 5/3/1, your 54321, guys like Ferruggia, etc).

I was really impressed with all your lifts. It just looks stronger when someone squats narrow and deep, benches inside the rings, and deads conventional. I recommend some knee sleeves to keep the knees and teardrop warm next time.
