Inb4 he out benches Brandon

it surely won't be long.
if he isn't outbenching me by 16, he should give up on powerlifting.


pretty awesome that you have him training at such a young age

If you've hit 370 already, I'd be thinking 370-375 at the meet based on how that rep looked maybe even 380.


As always.....I'd defer to Wade's opinion

I'm feeling pretty crappy today. Just run down. But I got it done so its still a good day. My son has a field trip Thu and has to be @ school @ 5:30 am which is preventing me from lifting that day... So I'll have 2 days of extra sleep before I have to DL Friday.

This should be the last heavy day before my meet in 2 weeks. 555 was my meet PR from February, so I'm pretty happy with this. If my grip was solid- I could be doing a whole lot more I'm pretty sure. But I'm going to start holding heavier singles at the top from now on to see how that helps.

DTaps I saw your name on the roster for June 1. Does this mean you're competing now for sure or did you turn that in before you had some issues?

I emailed Goggins today telling him that I wanted to push pull, I can't walk out or finish a squat for poo right now but pulling feels fine, I would do a token but I am too dumb and if somehow I felt good I would over-do it so I'm try to break 950 push-pull. I'll cheer for you and Jordan during squats. I may have to pay an extra 30 bucks though because I don't see a push-pull option. Should be fun.

Farmers handles


You need them in your life



I seriously think it will help your grip a TON.

Cool so I'll see you there then. It's getting close. I'm hoping to hit 1500 here. My numbers seem to be right in that neighborhood.

Maybe 560/370/570'ish...

I am going to start doing these every single saturday of my life. My son and I will do them together. He can do some 10 lb db's.

You're going over 1500. I know it. Everything is looking right where it needs to be. Look forward to meeting you, it should be a lot of fun. Where are you guys staying?

We're staying at the Hilton Garden just a few miles away from the meet. We're not getting there until 900-1000 though bc I wasn't able to take off work friday. I was hoping to get down there friday morning and hang out in atlanta for the day but it didn't work out.

1500 or negzz

I toyed around with them for the first time since the weather broke. I hit fronts and deads like normal but just swapped out trap deads for the walks.

I forgot how awesome they are for the traps/upper back. I was SORE!!!
