I'm nowhere near as strong as I used to be. Near death experience 3 years ago took a lot out of me. No weights since that time. Technique is a big part of it, as I use my legs (and head) instead of my arms. The 80# lifters mean that once I get the roof 25% of the way up I can shift position (switch to arms) and it won't come back down on its own.Stokeme said:I don’t have 80# shocks, but, I have to ask Vic, that roof is a load. What ... do you eat for breakfast? Dead lift?! Do the (steroidal) 80# lifter shocks add that much assistance comparatively?
The thing about glass/residential/commercial panel is that the innovation/market is huge, and in a year or two the same size/weight panel will be putting out 2x the power. I'm waiting for the latest 600+W panels to be available to consumers, and will jump on that as my next upgrade.
