Very solid session. There is a pretty good chance I'll do bench-only at the state meet. Reason being is I've had this left hamstring issue lately which has greatly affected my squat strength (I struggled with 585! Bullcrap I say!) But we'll see how it goes. Planned opener on the bench is around 435. Goal is to get 485+

500 will fall this year! As of today I'm 295. I'm well on my way to getting in shape! I'll be a really big and thick 308. Nationals in Anaheim and Worlds in Vegas this year, adding a national championship and a world championship to my trophy collection would be pretty sweet. Biggest goal this year is to get a 500 bench is competition.
