All were relatively easy. This makes me positive about April 27.

Great job Carson! 340 DL!

It's the x 3 that is the PR. I've lifted 374 x 1.

Nice work, how did you do the sqts, SSB or straight? Either way that's great.Good luck at the meet.

Safety bar. I can put the weight where it belongs with the SSB. The straight bar rolls up onto my neck. I figure my neck can hold some weight but not 238 lbs. So I may only do 3 empty bar squats or at least less than 100 lbs.

I sure know how that feels. I just saw a video by Dave Tate from Elite FTS saying how he misses squating with the straight bar,but he can't do it any more. I guess we have to do what we can,beats sitting in the park feeding pigeons.
