Thanks, I had a good day and my attempts were fairly conservative. Next meet I’ll be a little more ambitious.

Nice meet Joe, can you go any lower on those squats? Looked like you picked some good openers, easy…that’s way to do it.

My meet before I was injured and bombed out based on that AND depth, so this one I wanted to be sure.
Lifts look fabulous. You’ve been holding out on us:)

It doesn’t look like much written out but my quads are on fire.
Solid work requires no explanation but that you did it. Bench is looking good too.

Todays 395 came up pretty fast so I was pleased with that. My program doesn’t have me moving up to 405 until the first day in June but I might have to just move it up next weekend.

The thrid rep on the top set was super ugly and I most likely should have stopped on the second. Still live and learn.

jebus I’m tired.
solid training in here - nice work
How are you liking the Sling Shot bench work? I love to be able to overload the bench with confidence on a consistent basis and have no shoulder pain accompany the work.
