    After a long reprieve from logging, I am back -ya!

    I am currently on my third block of RPE and looking to compete in a sanctioned meet in the next 6 months.

    Most recently, I competed in Tom Campitelli's meet 5/3/15 in Oakland where I squatted 235#, overhead pressed 85#, and deadlifted 250#, for a total of 570lb -a 52.5# PR from the previous year. This was a great meet because compared to one year earlier, I not only became stronger, but I did it while cutting a total of 17 pounds, from 149lb to 131.4lb. Great accomplishments thanks to Starting Strength coaches Niki Sims and Rori Megan.

    So here is the latest:
