Reply With QuoteThank you and you have a great name! Keep on trying and never give up. It is not about the numbers but just keep moving and trying. I have seen too many friends and relatives who gave up and didn't live very long afterwards.

Wow, reading your medical journey sure makes me feel lucky at 73. My lifts have been going down the dumps the past few year, but I'm still trying. I wish you luck with your training and competition.

A couple of videos.
One with 7 reps at 300 and the other is a single with 370. I was having a terrible time trying to breathe as it was very humid that day

That was impressive. Such a crushing weight without even using safeties.

Rubber floor and bumper plates. Just dump it if you have to.

I am signed up for a meet May 20th but it is only a local meet. Today I found out about a USAPL Masters World Cup about 15 miles from me in Arlington, TX so I signed up for it. It is also May 20th but I can go ahead and set the National squat record at the Masters World Cup. The current record for 70-74 -100k Raw is 396 Pounds. I aim to do 192.5 k or 424.39 pounds! At the National meet in September I am hoping for a 200k squat! Now I need to stay healthy and injury free.

The 410 was about 3 inches high as my knee decided to say enough! It's called training.
