Out of all of the meets I have done at this location, this is by far the latest I have ever lifted. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough to make it happen.
Unplanned Rest Days

501# DL
A throwback to April 19, 2017 when I pulled 501# for a PR. Thank you change plates. After my back injury, this was a pretty big lift for me.
New Singlet
New singlet arrived today. The Nike singlet I had lasted only 7 times before some of the seams started to rip. Pretty disappointing to spend $130 on something and only get to use it that many times. Hoping that this…
High Hang Sn Work
Instead of doing the snatch and getting frustrated with the results, I worked off the suggestions from another coach who had watched me on Sunday. I am not engaging my lats and my positioning is off to where I am…
