1047

Good luck with the meet prep Matty, can’t wait to see how you prepare. Do you have a weight goal? Body weight and lifts?

1048

Hey thanks Kev…why dont you come down to the meet in Edison, meet the wife and kids, Dec 10, yo.

Dday - I guess everything being equal, a total of 11 and change would make me satisfied…I really believe since now im getting the proper schooling I will be able to hit over 1100, I hope.

1049

I predict
Bench = 355
Squat = 365
Dead = 480
Total = 1200

1050

Go get some Matty. I like Git’s assessment, bet you’ll be close.

1051

Nice front squats! This is all pretty cool…decide to jump into a meet, immediately jump into training program with trainers/training buds and locations and off you go. Tear it up!

1052

I played Yatzee last night during the blackout while wearing my headlamp and thought of you lol
