Thanks for the kind words, 78 now! One of the nice things about yesterday's meet was that it was very low key. Lots of mutual encouragement among the lifters. It was completely enjoyable.
I weighed in at 196, about 9 pounds less than my last meet. I'm trying to get my waist down to about 33 or 34 inches--another inch or two to go now.
I hope your training is going well.
