Had to leave for airport

[Fred J]

There's some great effort here Richard. Do I see a 300 lb. squat pr? Congrats.

[Richard Durbin]

Thanks Fred!
Yes indeed, a nice squat single PR before driving to the airport.

I gotta say I don’t think I’d be where I am without being constantly inspired by the older folks on this board.

[Richard Durbin]

Took my lifting gear to CT for biz trip, absolutely no time. Long meetings. So I focused on eating steak and salmon, that’s part of training, right?

Deadlift was to be 325 x 5,5,5 but I loaded 355 and gave it a pull, weird seems hard, pull again, wow pretty hard. Stare at it for a while, big breath big pull, got a single. Hmmm out comes the calculator, yup math hurts. So loaded 325 and got a double, then a triple. And called it.

Some nice work going on!

[Bill Anders]

Steak and salmon is even more training if you have both in the same meal.

Great work, Richard!

[Richard Durbin]

Thanks Jerry!
Indeed Bill !

Rack pull 370 x 3 and 320 x 5 I’ve decided to just use straps on all my rack pull top sets after hearing Rip’s advice that you don’t really notice that your grip is limiting you. They did feel stronger without focusing on grip.
Negative chins 5,5,5,5,5 moved these to Sunday for more time to get them done.

Whew, caught my log up.
