I’m hopping on all the meet bandwagons around here:)…Cripp, DaveB, myself, then yours a week after me.
Gotta keep the ‘Wins’ coming for our O-35 crowd brother!!

Happy Thanksgiving GV! Hope everything gets to feeling better.
I’m just catching up. Good luck on your contest. Have a great Thanksgiving with the family.
Happy belated Thanksgiving. Surely it produced some weight gain for your December meet.
Hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving and all is well GV.
Thanks and apologies to all for the Thanksgiving and healing wishes. I’ve been doing some soul searching. Due to my strain I have decided to pull out of the meet. I can’t risk any more injury that might keep me from work or being able to compete in the future. I didn’t log my last couple of lifting sessions because they were disappointing and I have been incredibly busy with work, birthdays, and holiday meals. Forgive my absence.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
You are way too hard on yourself big guy. Sometimes you just have to back up and punt. There is no shame in that. Your family and your health are far more important than doing a meet. I think you are giving it all you got Scotty. Even @DBasler had to regroup.
Good thinking. Smart guy here.
Thanks ChickenLittle and Biker. Yesterday I got in a short lift between jobs.

You’re a hard working person for sure. All the best in your training and work.
Taking a step back to move forward makes sense GV.
Thanks Crippler and Dave. I think I needed a bit of humbling.
Had 25 minutes to burn between jobs so I lifted.

I’m so deconditioned due to having done limited exercises for many months that I feel very weak. I’ll change that the next 4 months so I will lift big at the Master’s Championships in April.
