I have two pendlay econo bumpers in lbs. I will trade you said bumpers + $500 in Aasgaard store credit (applicable for L and XL sizes only).

Again, congrats

Hahahaha, you are so generous. Since the Aasgaard doesn't carry women's tank tops, I'll have to pass. But did you see those new USA racks? Make sure you select the best color next weekend.

And thanks!

Refresh Week
Day 1

Squat
145 (320) x1 @8, a legit 8 and one of my "call it an 8, but it was probably harder than that" singles
138x4 @9
138x4 @10, almost thought I was going to pass out coming out of that final rep, super dizzy, but I was determined to get that rep PR

Bench
80 (176) x1 @8, another fast legit 8
72x4 @9
72x3 @10, tried to re-tuck my shoulders for that last rep and that was a mistake

Weighted chins
4 x10#
4 x15
3 x20
3 x20

Great training session, especially considering that I almost fell asleep before training. I crashed hard after this, but that's ok.

I will not be, but will hopefully be streaming. And of course I'll try to make it to Killeen this summer.

3.5 weeks out from my meet, I was exhausted heading in this session and it took me forever, but it was fantastic. I hadn't been planning on these numbers, I was just going to try for 147.5 on the squat and 81 on the bench. On my way to the gym, I got the message that I was to PR this week. I panicked a bit. Hahaha. The 150 squat felt fantastic, 152 definitely felt tougher, but this feels incredibly awesome to hit these numbers right now. I then fell asleep later at my computer. Oops. Work.
