745 squat ... cool.

Gaining some momentum.....

Thanks guys! BI, you're exactly right I can feel my body adapting to the pressure, my face is completely blown out LOL... I have blood clumps in my eyes I love it :) One day at a time I'll just keep loading it up and getting after it. Saying healthy is my goal if I can get there safe I should be good to go.

A little catching up to do. My Naval Academy Team killed at the Collegiate Nationals. First time in a couple of decades we placed Men's equipped team placed 5th with some courageous lifting! POB made it out for our last flights on Sunday morning got to see some of the folks making it happen it was great to have him there. It' such an amazing atmosphere the biggest powerlifting meet in the world 600 lifters it was crazy.

We had 4 NCAA All Americans we had 5 additional lifters in the top 10 we are only loosing 4 lifters and only 1 was an All American we're looking good for next year.

Tonight is a big night the first lifter from the Naval Academy to make the USA World Team is bench pressing at worlds in Denmark at 4am in 6 hours :) Some of the team is coming over to watch her bench at my house.

Squat Day

Finally got the new triple ply Predators from Inzer, recently. Had a couple of my Naval Academy Team out at the house/gym destroyed their hands trying to get me set into the briefs the realization that I've only worn other people's very broken in briefs is now a reality LOL...

Even though I went up 4 sizes these damn briefs are killers. I am going to take measures to stretch and soften them I know in the long run not a great idea but I'm good with it. I really want to be able to wear them to the meet on the 22nd of May current state they are putting too much inward pressure on my knees but i'll work through that too.

Got them cranked on belt bone crushing on to keep them in place started working my smith so I could put controlled continuous pressure on them had team mates spraying the seams with water made progress.

Bar (65) X 8 X 3
Box with inch and half inch pads starting stupid high working down to just about parallel for the last two sets
155 X 6 X 2
245 X 4 X 2
335 X 2 X 2
425 X 2 Briefs from here out
515 X 2
565 X 2
605 X 1
655 X 1
705 X 1
705 X 1

Didn't use wraps only briefs and belt and mouthpiece. Feeling stronger and working hard under a lot of pressure it's catatonic time for the rest of the afternoon :)

This meet is really for my Naval Academy Midshipmen Team, for the seniors who've I've coached since their freshman year they really wanted to see me compete and to be able to show up and support me. This sentiment from them is inspirational and motivating the shit out of me. I have to first hit all three openers it's a must LOL then I have to show up and do something worth coming to see. We shall see.

Wow awesome numbers man.

Are you competing raw or equipped?

Man I would love to get back into my bench shirt and try a single ply squat suit.
