Ok, not a fatsique update as such but definitely something along those curvy lines. Went out for a late lunch for Mrs KO’s birthday and I can now say conclusively that I need two bar stools.

Fkn love it, one for each cheek! I am guessing your back is so wide even if you sat on one, no fker can fit next to you anyway.

Woke at 266 lbs, looking a little bloated because I only slept for five hours or so. Thank fuck for the CPAP, because it was five good hours.

Fine. It’s weird, I felt like a slug when I was around 230 a few years back but now, not. Maybe my standards have just fallen.

Drive yourself back along the bench on your traps by driving your heels down.

Worked up to 1x595 lbs, Phantoms at seven revolutions. I was tempted to take 600 lbs, but I have a brain.

Sorry, video is terrible. It just shows the speed of the lift and my capacious backside.
This will be my second attempt.
Also, tried out the nitrile coated gloves we use at work for wrapping and wrap rolling. They’re a total game changer, because for the first time I could grip the Phantoms enough to pre stretch them and crank down on them.

Whoever this is crushed it. How far out from your meet are you?

crushed it Mark, looked smooth and strong… as usual, I should find something else to say.

Wait… that video was you moving 595lbs? You sure that you didn’t upload a warmup set? Uhm, wow.

Genuinely looks like you could have taken 650. Might be the fastest PR I’ve ever seen.

Thanks guys!
I’m pleased with how it moved, definitely what I wanted. Figuring out how to crank the wraps was a big, big help.
