Very very light bench
I'm currently dealing with a sternum issue (what I think is costochondritis). After getting some advice from some smart people I know, I took a bit of time off from benching, and am bringing my grip in a bit as I start to bench again. The inflammation seems to be calming down, so I decided […]
Rack Pull - 3/14/2019
Rack pulls used to be one of my favorite pull variations. That was before I trained at a gym that doesn't have a designated 'rack pull bar'. I try my best to be respectful and not let the bar make more than a soft 'ting' at the bottom. I'm not always super successful in making […]
Squat - Heavy Triple - 380lbs

2018 - A Year in Review - Training
2018 was a big year for me, a year of growth and change in both training and life. In this post, I want to go back and look at all the challenges and successes of my training over the past year. 2017 was a hard year, I was unhappy with where I was in life […]
Christmas Deadlifts
The gym opened for a few hours on Christmas, and since Seth and I had no family obligations we couldn't think of anything we'd rather do after opening presents than deadlift. It was really neat to see how many people came to the gym to train on Christmas day, it was PACKED. Deadlifts felt good, […]
2-board bench - 12/23
After bugging my SI the other week I had to take a week off from bench work because I couldn't get my feet on the floor while lying on the bench. I took a little less than a week off and felt good to go after an adjustment. I was still a little cautious working […]
Back at it - Week One - Squats and Pulls
Trying out the new premium wraps and deadlifting after squats for the first time.
Four days out - light work
Meet week is here, time to do some light training to finish things off. I had a major assignment due today at noon, and spent all day yesterday working on it, so opted to combine both my light squat and bench session into one. Everything was easy and felt light, which was exactly the plan. […]
Review - P3 Pioneer Cut Belt

My first powerlifting belt was the P2 […]
