We survived Hurricane Irene!

You seem to be strong with that fairly close stance, your rack pull are huge...maybe your hips are behind with the pulls holding you back?

Ultra wides for speed and max may help.

Great videos!!

[Mark!]

Haha, what'd you guys do, decide to go all out in case the hurricane wiped ya'll out? Solid work bro, glad everyone's ok.
