Thanks, I was really exicted to hit both of those on the same night. Its been a pretty good weekend!

It was really weird, I was just flying!

Not surprised sprinting was easy. You're quads are used to pushing 300 pounds around, so bodyweight must feel like a feather!

Rare air indeed. Remember us when you're rich and famous from your record setting powerlifting career.

Thanks Mike, and you may have a point with that.

I don't think there are many rich and famous powerlifters, but still going for a record setting career!

And congrats on a 400 pound squat. You're almost at 500 for deads and 300 for bench as well I think. Let the journey to master and then elite begin!

Thanks kuyt, you will nail 300 before you know it!

I am hoping a for a 300 in the next 2 weeks, and I know I can get 500 on deads since I almost had a double with 495.

Notes: Felt very strong with the 315, felt very light in my hands and thought about going for a double on the first set.

CGBP felt really strong on the singles, but when I got to the rep out set it just didn't feel right.

Added pull ups since I dropped c&p on this day and was feeling lazy. I had the strength on each rep I just didn't have the arm endurance to keep going. Each rep was fast and explosive, I just ran out of steam quickly.

BBcurl felt extremely heavy today, but arms feel really good right now.

i dont check in for 2 days an d you have gone and smashed two PRs

really happy to see you have hit that 295 , you have been after that for some time.

hard work and persistance = new PR

300 will fall at the meet .

how is that coming along?

[JTurner]

Strong benching. Handling 315 comfortably must be a big confidence boost!

[big_swede]

Great work all around buddy!

Heavier than I curl.

Bench numbers are looking great. I know your profile says "one year" experience. When did you first start benching?

[MikeM]

I believe he started in the cradle. Parents gave him DBs instead of a rattle.

Thanks Mark! Was really happy with the 295, also with all the extra bench work I have been doing hoping to see a 300 in the next few 2-3 weeks.

I was very surprised how light it felt in my hands, the actual press was still hard but the feeling in my hands was light.

I started benching (arms flared/no where near cheast) about 2 years ago. Started touching chest in last spring, and stopped flaring around Christmas.
