First of all, I would like to thank both of my sponsors, Millennium Sports Technologies and also Critical Bench. It's an honor to have sponsors and I'm thankful.
This was a long time coming and a huge personal goal of mine. Thank you to everyone who has helped me a long the way, either by encouragement, patience (thanks wife!) or great supplements.

2nd Attempt: 500 lbs, 3 white lights, PR!
Invalid Link Removed
3rd Attempt: 510, gassed, no lift. It was actually pretty close.
I ended up winning 1st place in the raw professional bench only division.
I'm very happy about that!
Stuff I used for this meet: a lot.
This meet was pretty much the culmination of my training and supplement knowledge. MST products that helped me a long the way are as follows:
-MVP-365 & ZMK: I take these every day, no exceptions.
-MycoGreen: I take this every day too, mostly b/c it makes my stomach feel better!
-Ragnarok: This is big. I love this creatine and play with the caffinated & non-caffinated versions to suit my goals. Simply put, it works and works well, and tastes good too. Can't lose.
-RPG: Keeping in mind my goals are a little different than the average person, I take a big scoop of this on my heavy training days mixed with Ragnarok. I was a hard sell with BCAA's, but RPG won a spot on my supplement shelf. I like it!
-CRE-02: Good stuff. I personally like Ragnarok better, but why not use both? I add CRE-02 on heavy training days.
-Athlytes: Didn't help so much with the heavy work, but stopped the cramping from all the volume and cardio I did. Very important!
I use other MST products, but these are the ones that helped me smash that 500.
