Damn CL, just damn! It really is motivating/inspiring when reading your log. What are you looking to "bulk" up to, another weight class?

Not yet. I got one more meet for sure as a 123er. Just pushing my training weight up from 126-127 to ~130ish.

NOTES: I kinda overshot the RPE, but I wanted this for confidence's sake. If I plan to do a meet in August, I want to open at 335 or 340. So this vid will be a reminder, that it's a lock. But the second rep on my squat may have been high (just parallel) ... and my last bench rep was a quick double pause lol.

Congratulations on the BY PR, Chris. You've been on a roll for quite some time. Exciting to watch the steady progress.

Game to hold steady around 130 with you brother.

For me...a cut. Ironic.

Last couple of sets were a little rough, but weight still moved fairly well. Also, I started breaking in some Titan wrist-wraps...and an hour after benching, I was just starting to get feeling back in my hands haha.
