And a Bench too

Just for fun

Deadlift!

Note: I had to edit my post - after reviewing the videos I realized I misheard the announcer. I didn't beat my deadlift PR of 245, but made the 242 and failed the 248.

Although its hard to say if my previous 245 was clean. So lets call 242 my new PR!

And heer'tis as Otis Day would say



A new link to the right - Bench Bozo - set a world record today for the most any man over 65 has ever benched (I think thats what they said!). All in all a great bunch of people there - I had a great time.

Here is my failed attempt of 248 (not 251.8)- why did I fail? Because I jerked it up at the top. Not allowed! I had a small jerk on my 242 but they let it go.



So there you go. My first powerlifting meet.

A Super New Lifting Suit

Well, I'm 18 days out from the big meet. I decided its ridiculous to be farting around with a lifting suit I can't get on. I went ahead and bought the next size up of a plain non-supportive singlet. Which, in technical terms, means I'll be lifting raw. Oh yeah.
