I had a 318 wilks at my last meet. Not quite in the ballpark with O and her friends.
Nice benching snap.
My last wilkes was 415 raw.
By calculator mine from the last meet was 273 so you are significantly ahead of me.

The woman I mentioned isn’t my friend. She’s my hero. I just look at people like that with awe. Me, I just trundle along and hope for incremental increases.
Most people that compete aren’t at that level. Most people are like us; working hard to improve but knowing we aren’t likely to be one of those top people. However, I was recently talking to a gentleman that I trained with in the past. He’s been competing a bit longer than me and just qualified for nationals next year. He was thrilled. He’d had his best meet ever and was the strongest he’s ever been at 47 years old. He’ll never be Andy Bolton but he’s the best him he’s ever been. That’s the kind of stuff I try to focus on. It doesn’t always work for me but I try ![]()
Hey Snap, hope you don’t mind my asking but what were your final thoughts on Smolov?
Maybe you ought to let your ARTist have a crack at your suspected tendinitis. I know that you are smart enough not to ignore this problem.
Well, well, well. I’ve managed to kill your log!
I guess I’ll have to do it with a BANG.
Snapper is one bad-ass, surgically reconstructed, ninja warrior chick. She needs a new log ASAP so that her fans will not be deprived of Her Snapperness.
