Thanks Brother. Was feeling broken yesterday. Today not so much.

Finally a deadlift session that didn't make me suicidal. Lots of singles but got up to 565 with belt and pulled a rabbit out of my hat with a 600lb reverse green band pull.

Thanks guys. I want 1500+ at this meet in April and then 1600+ in August.

If I can get to 1600+ natty I am strongly thinking of going to the dark side...

There is no "if" only when, and that's in August. Then next august is 1800#

No spotter today so I was quite conservative.

Solid day. How are you feeling after that?

 

[FLEXjs]

I feel fine. If Lisa was there I would've done better.

As I get closer to the comp I get more paranoid about hurting myself.

She's lifting with me on Saturday and we're doing bench so I didn't feel the need to go nuts today without a spotter.

Very glad to hear that because your Bench is climbing nicely. How long ago did you start the slingshot work, 6months or so?

 

[FLEXjs]

Honestly can't remember. I think I've had it for a year or more now...
