Everything felt heavy, pushed through anyway, saw the video and saw that the weights felt heavy because I was not locking my knees out and standing up fully before squatting. Will work on a better stand-up next week.
was great to have Hilda, Mike and Shane Church visit. Shane benched an easy 545 lbs in a tighter denim shirt. Hilda did a very strong 300 lb squat in full gear and Mike did a perfect 465 lb squat in a suit. Chris Koda came in to get 600 lbs and he got it like he wanted to, great. Ghislain went up to 775 again and tried 585 on the deadlift. Joanick did his opener a couple of times, three I think at 750 lbs. Shawna sunk 325 and 350, then took 385, 400 and 425 lbs and then 360lbs. The 425 was just supposed to be a half squat to get her nervous system used to it and then go back to her 360 lb opener and do it again. Cheryl is working hard in the US and we missed her today. A great group, everyone serious and trying hard.
My bodyweight this morning was 226 lbs. down two pounds this week. I want to go back up to 242 but I keep losing weight and not gaining yet. But, strange at this bodyweight my lifts are all higher than ever before even when I was up at 262 lbs. Right now my briefs and suit go on and off easily. My bench shirt sleeves are loose.
