couple teammates (Kevin Frey and Mark Hauschildt) were prepping for Relentless and a handful of others were prepping for the SPF meet we’re putting on. Was a good night at 22BB

If anyone will be at the Arnold, stop by the cage and see 22BB lifter Beau Moore attempt to total 2100 Raw in one hour. Also think Nick Weite will be DLing in the cage as well.

spray painted one of the monos for uor SPF meet next weekend. The other one was to get a coat of black after I left.

will be judging.

Got to say I’m with you on the close grip benching being better for pain free lifting, that’s a plus.

took off work Friday to help move gym to meet venue. 2 monos, 2 benches, @ 8 bars and all of our plates.

started 9am. got back home @ 9pm.

SPF meet Saturday. there were @ 70 lifters. ran it on 2 platforms. judged 1 flight of squats and bench and both flights of DL. were some strong lifters.

today. removed gym from venue at 9am. had 28’ pup loaded and back to our place by @ 10:30am. unloaded, reassembled, and rearranged 22nd Street Barbell. Left @ 2pm.

Returned at 3pm

Isn’t that the truth! Doing and working meets is exhausting. Sounds like you contribute in a big way. Hope it was fun.

One day I am going to do the SPF Pro-Am. Hopefully I’ll be stronger then. Nice pulling.
