I hope to get another PR someday. At 78, I guess it's a race against time.

[Mr. Bingley]

dude. 340 at 78 is awesome in anyone's book

I would definitely have to agree with that.

Well done, sir.

Thank you, gentlemen. We old guys need such encouragement. Sully and his team are good coaches.

We had an open house in which some of the lifters in our gym demonstrated the lifts to guests to show what kinds of lifts we did. There were many questions and conversations during the lifts. As a result, I lost track of my notations on warm-ups and will lift only my top lifts in the three I did.

HLM Medium with heavy deads

Dead: 342.5 x 1
Bench: 143 x 3
Squat: 221 x 3 x 2

Eight guests and a few lifters watched or cheered us on. Sully interviewed at least three people about possibly joining the gym. I'm not sure we had as many guests as we had hoped for, but it still exposed our work to a few new people.
