I didn't have the best of training days. I had issues from beginning to end and couldn't seem to pull my head out of my ass. The 970 was a catastrophe when it came to form and technique as well as cutting it. The good thing is that it moved well enough which made me feel a little better since it is my tentative opener for the meet.

 

I also got out squatted by my buddy Neal Cotton today which makes me proud and pissy all at once. He's been working hard and we are going to have a great battle in a few weeks.

 

980 for a 55lb Gym PR. A bit high but everything felt dialed in. Really happy with this. #powerlifting #bench #benchpress #squat #squats #benchday #deadlift #deadliftday #squatday #deadliftface #OBB #orlandobarbell #FreedomAllDay #FAD #crossfit #fatjacked #fuscular #elitefts #titan #metal
