Yeah... Never left the weights, just temporarily removed myself from the forum. Good to see a few familiar faces still around. I'm going to try to resurrect SilentBob too.

Great lifts man, that back arch on bench is intense, more like a bridge! You have to practice to get that right.

Thanks man. It took a while to perfect. It really helps to put your shoulders and lats into the lift.

Im definitely sore today.

On another note... i think i might start training for a meet in January.

[MrKleen73]

Sweet, you'll get that 1400 total this time I bet.

1400 should be no problem so 1500 will be the real goal.

It would take me about an hour of foam rolling before I could even attempt getting my back to that! Lol
1500 at what weight?

Last we spoke you said you were taking a break from PL for a few weeks. Did you already change your mind again?

[AZMIDLYF]

Hopefully 242. Right now i fluctuate between 247 and 250 and im not super lean either.

So at 242 and 1500, that takes you into Elite status right?
