The Road to 405

[Ryan Arnold]

That's awesome work, hernia surgery or no. Congratulations!

Thanks man!

[Ryan Arnold]

Well done Ryan. That's a great comeback in just seven weeks. Can you feel anything at all from the hernia repair now, or is it 100%?

Hey Oliver - its basically 100%. I guess sometimes I feel like that area gets a little "tender" but its not bothersome and doesn't affect anything. I'll feel a stretch around the incisions occasionally too, but same deal - not really bothersome.

Great job this weekend, Ryan. It has been awesome following your progress post-surgery.

Thanks John. By the way - I caught some of Rori's lifting yesterday. Holy shit she is strong. haha

HA! Yes, she is. I am proud of her, but kind of hate her at the same time. I only got to see her squats before having to take off for work. I am sorry I missed you there.

Think I'm going to beat you to 405 but you having to work around the surgery has ruined any joy I might have had needling you about it.

Good job at the meet.

[Ryan Arnold]

Thanks Anthony. You may beat me to 405. But then we will of course have to start a new race to 500. I've already begun a new eating protocol based on this.

Yeah, once I hit the 380x3 I have to admit I started thinking about five plates. It is never enough.

Thanks Martha! How is your lifting going?

It's going pretty well! Finally hitting training PR's consistently again! Thanks for asking :-)

Congrats on doing, and going 9/9 at, your first meet, my friend. A great experience to have under your belt, that lights a fire for more. Now comes the Summer Of Chudd.
