585 x 1 this wasn't as pretty as I would like. I let my legs go soft on the way down and no drive on the way up.
Training in gear takes way too long haha. I called it there. Matt Brass came all the way from Toronto. Is a great dude and a very knowledgeable lifter. He has some shitty elbow and shoulder things going on. We switched his grip to a thumbless grip. It is terrifying. But, at least he can touch and lock out with little pain and pretty solidly.
