you are right, they are fun. i barely got it up in the back of my truck. i could probably pick it up like 2 or 3 times, max. i'm going to work on some heavy rows, DL's, and squats, as always, to make picking this thing up easier.

Did someone make that for you, or did they pay to have it made?A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

HAHA yeah. the plaster of paris dries very quickly, and once its done drying, its done drying. my friend said the trick is to use concrete with rocks in it - it helps stay together better. and use lots of water, so it takes longer to dry, so it stays really hard. he sanded the rocks off the surface and put a light glaze on it, so it dosen't scrape your arms, but it dosen't slide out of your arms either. its one of the coolest gifts i've ever gotten. here's how you make it: Originally Posted by Sensei
