Should read, as an example: "2009 Ford Taurus x 11 reps"

Because it does provide minimal insight into the weight but, largely, because it just looks cool on "paper."

Heavy frame, with a fat guy, and a few hundred pounds at the handles.

Heavy x ~100ft (maybe 700 - 800 in hands; although, I have no idea)

Stones:

over bar, ~54"

390 x 5

tried to go too quick and didn't get under the stone enough resulting in a few slips; might have cost me one more rep but I don't think I had much more in me than that. Need to keep working this

What's going on with this? Tweak it at the contest?

The Buffalo bar is for the win. I overused cambered bars and buff. bars for a while in Michigan, though, and the straight bar felt weird going back to it. I never needed the cam. bars because of the shoulders or whatever so it just turned into a bad habit, rather than a fix of anything.

Whenever I get back into the squat (first squat workout since June) my adductors are usually quite sore. This time seemed to be even worse, maybe because of the Buffalo Bar.

supposed to be 3 x 10 but the foam was sliding off so I had to stop and reset. The Buffalo Bar is comfortable, but like the chambered bar it swings forward when driving out of the hole shifting your weight forward, which, in turn, causes some lower-back pain. Actually, the only time I don't have back pain while squatting is when using a mono - gonna have to start squatting at Detroit Barbell.
