Deadlifts and milkshakes

[livingdeadmoose]

Congrats to Goon and WC! The video was very sweet.

Also, don't worry about your performance. We're all bound to run into those kind of bad days. All you can do is bounce back from them.

Screw the lifts, that was a beautiful thing!!! Congrats to the both of you

Nice meet performance and congrats on the engagement! You handled it reasonably well

 

[WitchCraft]

Thanks man! I handled it like a sobbing, emotional woman. Steve knew what he was in for though.

You better come to the wedding!!! Your milf can come too.

Notes: I trained at Albany Strength today, the same gym that my competition was at. I was somewhat in the area and drove some extra distance to train at a real gym. I met up with a friend there and she spotted me on my heavy squatting. It was such a fun "me" day.

170 looks easy in the video, but it was actually very hard.

 

[KnuckleSangwich]

Real strong. Great stuff.

 

[WitchCraft]

Thanks Knuckle! I'm hoping to squat 180 in the near future.

 

[catlady]

damn, awesome squats. I'm sure it was heavy as hell, but you made it look light.

Thanks! I think I'll slow down on testing PRs for a while. I was still pretty hungry for a big squat after my competition went so poorly but now I'm back to building up strength.

Notes: I usually take Wednesdays off but they cancelled school so I didn't have to sub all day and then they cancelled my night class. Because of "snow." There's not a speck of snow on the ground here!
