What the hell...

[Matt]

I don't see a lot of cheaters on here, so what the hell, I'll do my part for the movement.

I am currently prepping for a Dec 1 meet. I am desperately trying to stay under 220, but if my strength is taking a sacrifice I will go 242.

I follow a pretty loose Westsidish template with changes that I feel are better for me.

This was last night, second week in gear after about 6-8 months raw.

Kick ass night. Started out a little worried, as I touched 295 very easily but I had not pimped the shirt out at all. With 315 and on we pimped the shirt out and I couldn't touch anything until the 2nd rep of 345 so that made me feel better. Everything was smooth and strong.

There was still more pimping to be done also.

405 will fall very soon, then on to 455.

Hey, I didn't realize this was Matt from EP.

Sup dude?

[Heisman]

Looking strong bro. As you get used to the gear I'm sure it'll get better for you.

Cheaters=Gear? If so I'll try to help too.
