Wow awesome. So you are benching then deadlifting the day after? Can’t wait til wednesday?? 
What are you gonna do for bench leading up to the comp?
deadlift’n- tonight was the last week of the chains cycle. we worked up to a heavy single. i left everything on the platform and am very happy with my pull. my form stayed together even though it was one hell of a grind.

Huge pull scott. Wasn’t sure if you were going to pull through or not but you grinded it out… everyone looked pumped up for deadlifts.
Nice pull, A real Grinder!!!
Man I wish i was closer to you guys (I’m down in Richmond). Ironically, I’m from Purcellville and just moved back to VA after living in Denver for the last 5 years. I see you guys train on Saturdays. It’d be cool to swing by and check out your gym, if that’d be alright. I head up north at least once a month to see the family.
Now thats how you grind out a pull.
nice pullin
Yo Scott, I mentioned it on the phone but not sure if I said exactly what date. I’ll be back Oct 6th - 10th so I gotta train with you guys that weekend! You’ll be around right?

yeah…everyone was really ready to pull. ryan and bill made their pulls look like warmups. the only thing i wasn’t sure of is if i had enough air to complete the lift. i was fading fast. the peripheral vision was narrowing very quickly.
