a week of rest, and we'll see what 18 weeks of pain brings me.

 

[42 and 6]

Meet results: Weighed in at 179, Squat 375, Bench 270, Deadlift 441. Total = 1086

Less than I'd hoped for, but better than last year, and I'm not getting any younger. So it's a win.

 

[Mr.Sinister]

Good job. It's fun to just get out on the platform and do it.
