Congrats!

Congrats! Did you intend to lift at 275 or just didn’t quite make it to 242? Either way, good lifting!

Thanks! I wanted to compete 242. The cutoff is 242.5 and I didn’t want my lifting to suffer. I usually don’t have a problem making weight. I did however have the opportunity to break the masters bench record, which I would not have had at 242.

Awesome lifting!

I hope I’m moving that kind of weight in a few more years.

Thanks!

If train you smart and have great training partners, you can get there or even better. Also the 5/3/1 program is awesome.

Great lifts, Phil, especially solid on the DL.

Thanks, JT! I will give that some thought. I do plan on competing at Natural Nationals in January.
