I have two more squat sessions before my meet, so singles next week and then doubles for my opener the next. Just hoping the chemo drugs cooperate with me 
Wait…am I the only one that didn’t know you were training for a meet again? When is it?[/quote]

I decided to lift in our state meet. We are hosting it here in Killeen, so there is no travel involved. Decided to not wear any gear, so just the sleeves, wrist wraps and my belt. Will be interesting to see where I am. Oh, and the meet is May 16th so, three weeks away.
Good luck!

It must be nice to say 170 was easy!

All things considered, yes it is! Normally it would be a light training weight for me.

Wow, I am so incredibly impressed by your numbers! And not even because you are training around your pesky chemo schedule. You truly are an inspiration!!
