Great meet write-up!

Did you get to watch Bonica Lough squat 272.5kg?

Thank you ALL so much! I still keep thinking about the meet! I am bummed about that squat, but really the whole experience is so great! Chris, I did see that squat. WHAT?!?! I didn't watch any squats until after I was done, but I was at the beginning of that flight. Competing WITH those women was pretty cool.

Then some steady state bike on Saturday and coaching a few ladies in a DL only meet. Those are a blast-super fast, easy for everyone, and lots of fun, plus the number of women in the 60+ group is growing and growing!

I got my new programming block, and I both can't wait and am quite aware of my impending suffering, but it will be for the gainzZz.

Good day! Kept myself moving along, then taught the first day of our new lifting class. It's packed and we had a great time together. I have about 8 people who have now been doing SS training for 4-6 months and then a new class of 8 new lifters. More gainzZz all around!
