    Thanks for continuing to post my stuff, sir.

    Abby's added another 7.5lbs to her 5RM on bench and 15lbs to her 3RM on deadlift since I pulled data for the article. If she stays healthy and focused, she might win the damned Nationals thingy. Who can say.

    Big shout out to Rich Killian, SSC, for the assist (mentioned in the text of the article). Not mentioned in the article: Kudos to Joe Jaloszynski, SSC, for some programming advice on the FB page about halfway through, or Abby might still be grinding away at 5s instead of 3s as a woman should. And thanks to Will Morris, DPT, SSC, also about halfway through for talking me off a ledge related to some minor injury stuff Abby was experiencing in the middle there.

    This is an outstanding community of professionals. God bless you all.

    Abby is stronger than 99,9 percent of the haters.

    Fascinating read by a great writer.

    I appreciate your insight/hints into the personality traits from her childhood that play a key role in her ability to face the bar without fear...every week. I bet experienced coaches can recognize these traits within minutes of meeting a potential lifter.

    I appreciate the kind words, gents. Abby's a toughie.

    I'm really hoping the whole USPA qualifier/NATs works out at a time when I can take a short military leave and finally meet her in person.
