Haha, thanks Jim! Lifting is how I blow off steam, so it was great to get out of the office for an hour

Thanks BtB!. 400 soon. I feel like my squat max has jumped at least 15 pounds since the meet. I'll find out where it is in June or July I think.

So, today was pretty good. I'm tired as heck right now, and a little disappointed in my performance, but I did make progress on just about everything.

That ^^ is a helluva solid volume overall Brute, with a standout highlight BB row single. No coincidence that your have such a strong row with an incredible deadlift, and vice versa for that matter.

Hope you have agreat weekend. Cheat meal coming up?

No cheat meat for me, LOL. I wish. I just finished a 4 day vacation with some bros up in the Smokey Mountains. About all we did was hike, drink beer, and eat red meat and potatoes, and lots of frozen pizzas, so I'm on the straight and narrow for at least a month for diet. Gotta get back under 300!
