Hey Marv,
Haven't been around much lately. Glad to see things are still moving along in the right direction. Moving some impressive weights my man.

The above makes me wonder; have you had the chance to learn the movements yet? I assume you've picked up Starting Strength, but I wonder because no matter how heavy the weight gets, or whether it's a 10RM, 5RM, 1RM, or whatever attempt, technique should never be a major issue at this point, definately no twisting.
If you haven't already, get Rip's Starting Strength. The second edition has just come out so you'll get an even better version and more info for your 30 bucks. It is probably the best 30 bucks I've ever spent on lifting related stuff (60 bucks for me when you include the shipping). You're moving some heavy iron, and technique shouldn't be deteriorating.
Anyways, whatever you decide, kudos on the progress bro!
Cheers,
Jeff
