Got invited to train at the Ludus Magnus with Matt Wenning himself Sunday morning while we were in Columbus. I had missed my squat Friday evening, but when you get the opportunity to work in with an ATWR-holder that’s also a 600lb raw bencher, you show up and get in the bench rotation. Really awesome experience. His training partner Rob is a 560lb bencher and the 4 other guys in our group all seemed to be 3-400lb benchers as well. Gym was terrific, everyone was awesome & helpful, and Matt was more than willing to answer questions and teach, even after pressing a single @ 405+170lb chain. Everyone was constantly coaching each other.
At the end, Matt put his hand on my shoulder and told me, “Good job today, man. You can come back and train here with us any time.” Probably the most meaningful compliment related to lifting I’ve ever received.
