Oh man, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Yes, there were some things I could have done better. But overall, I was happy with my performance. In a nutshell, I broke the national squat record, the national bench press record, and the national overall total record, PLUS I won the Best Lifter award, and it feels so awesome to get that honor and validation. My hard work paid off! ::::contented sighs:::
Well, where should I start… I guess I’ll start ...

Today I hit a 325 pound squat.
That’s a PR for me! Making progress 🙂
I am really trying to dial in the technique, as I feel that is what is limiting me- not my strength….Doing what I can! —>>> One more squat day on Monday, then that’s it!
After the bench press yesterday, I strapped the weight belt around my waist and added a 45 pound plate!
This is the THIRD set of 8 pull-ups with the 45!

Lifetime PR for me! USPA meet is around the corner, I’m feeling excited to see what I can hit! 😀

My solace and meditation was blissful in the squat rack today. Just me, myself, and I. Had my pre workout drink, my lifting gear, the heavy metal music…and I was set. My powerlifting competition is in 2 weeks!

Then high bar squats with pause, ...

I did this little gem of an exercise (puke)…j/k. It’s a good one, but dang it’s hard. I don’t know what it’s called, but I’ll just call it “Roll Back Burpee Variation.” It’s killer core, legs, upper body, *and* gets the heart pumping! Do them yourself and ENJOY (as much as ...
