Hahaha. Thanks man!

So I did a bunch of mobility work. My hamstrings were unusually tight, while everything else was relatively supple. Therefore I did a good amount of hamstring flossing, which hurt so good. In retrospect the tight hamstrings may have had a little bit to do with sub par pulling. That and having tired pulling muscles.
And I give pulling sumo a serious try.

Thank you kind sir. It appears the stars and planets were perfectly aligned for some PRs.

You should go back in time and compete against the likes of Captain Kirk and Mr. Coan.
Solid FS’ing.
So jealous of vacation. I hope all your hard work paid off.
You’re my second Filipino friend.
But definitely the strongest.

A few light n schpeedy sets of skwats.
As much as I would love to be able to fast until late in the afternoon and then lift, I must eat more/earlier in the day if I expect to have consistently decent training sessions.
Must be pretty close to BW military?
Your Benching, Front Squatting, and Pressing are fucking tits. Awesome work you’re doing!
gahddamn I r so jelly of your pruss.
haha thanks guys. But my lifts are far from special.
Was planning and looking forward to lifting today but I ate something bad and have been recovering. I should be perfectly fine tomorrow.
Now that I know how many hours I’ll have to dedicating to this summer lab position, I’ll be trying something a little different with my training. But it should be fun.
