Deadlifts and milkshakes

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 :)
 
Thanks everybody!

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.

 
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.
