New blog
I have another couple of blogs. I just wrote the first post on one of them. I need to figure out how to connect the two for sure.

Training
Did a short snatch session while I was w/ my coach at the Attitude Nation gym.
Worked up to 131 lbs. heaviest since I hurt my back and felt like I was getting some timing and speed back.
Also got to spend some time with the guys on Team MDUSA because we went to pick up some stuff my coach bought this week.
I love weightlifting and being close to all these great lifters.
MDUSA

And I have been invited to join the Muscle Driver USA Weightlifting team!!!!

My buddy Greg set a drug-tested raw world record in the 242 weight-class yesterday, in squat and in total. Pretty sure it’s all-time.
He squatted 750 and totaled 1885 @ 21 years old.
Dan Green apparently just set the all-time raw world record in 242’s at 2160.5 which is awesome. Just some perspective as to where Greg is.

I was supposed to do a Powerlifting meet this coming Saturday. I’m not doing it. Heck, I’m not even going to support my team. I feel a little bad about it and kind of sad because I do genuinely want to support them.
My goals would’ve been to squat 450, bench 250 (haven’t even trained that all year so 10 lbs less and paused would have been a good day), and deadlift 510 maybe. Oh well, there will be more meets.
I will be supporting one teammate this weekend at least. I’m going to go to MDUSA and watch my friend, teammate, and fellow Tumblr Becca’s tryout. It should be a really good competition to watch.
I’ll be spending the majority of the weekend in Charlotte just relaxing with my wife, which is the main reason I’m not going to Hickory for the PL comp.
