Pressing is looking solid. Is that 350 a tie with your personal best?

Yep. Pressed 350 a couple weeks ago and once before about 25 years ago.

Will certainly make my goal of a 1600 total a lot easier to reach if I can bench 350 or better.

Fueled by Christmas Dinner, I nutted up and did some wrapped squats today for the first time since my injury.

Got a single at 545 with just wraps, no belt. Reasonably happy.
