Great workout Rich! Congrats on the PRs! Pretty soon you'll OHP your Bodyweight!

[MikeM]

Yeah very nice pressing. Started off the week with a bang. Nice job.

[Squatter]

Great start with the OHP PR's and strong finish with the heavy duty chins. Not sure about everything in between (Haha J/K)

Awesome progression on the lift that is usually the stingiest.

Thanks Jay! Not sure if I'll ever OHP my BW if my BW keeps going up as fast or faster than my press

There's a meet in San Antonio Dec. 15th. It is interesting that a lot of the TX meets seem to be way down in south TX though.

Yes that is what I have noticed as well! SA is a 3.5 hour drive for me, which isn't that bad to compete. but quite a drive to be a spectator

Well that settles it!!! Pack up your walker and go kick some a$$!!! (See how I fit the old geezer joke in there, just pointing that out for you

[Squatter]

I didn't know you were thinking of competing!

I wanna go back to San Antonio!! Especially now...it's gonna be a long, cold, dark, and dreadful winter here and it's off to an early start.

I appreciate that Jay! I often miss the obvious May have thought you were referring to my captive zombie I keep in the garage.

Definitely interested Jim. But I would really like to attend at least one meet just to get an idea of what it's like.

We have been in the mid 70's to 80 degrees here this week!!
