Solid solid solid session which I couldn't be happier with. I really think I can hit 445ish raw now, I mean 315 felt like an empty bar in warm ups. 495 was a bit of a struggle but it was locked out and I held it for an extra second. At the San Diego meet I plan on trying 485-501 at least. My tricep strength is getting there as is my grip strength.

Steve, you did fantastic at the meet. I think your biggest problem is your shirt, its just too small, I think you going to a bigger shirt is necessary to touch weights easier and within the strength bubble. We'll talk about it this weekend, say lunch on Sunday after church?
