I’m in the surgical waiting room while my girlfriend is having her finger reconstructed after an accident with a hedge trimmer last night. She told the doctors the most important thing is that she is able to grab the bar”I’m a powerlifter”. I love it.

Definitely going to follow along in here. I read your first post and some of the more recent ones. You have been through a heck of a lot and it is very inspiring to see you working hard at it now. Couldn’t help but laugh that after all the things you went through and you lost a lot of strength, you started back about where I am on my best days. :joy:

Hope your girlfriend is OK. Keep crushing it!

Worked up to 495 for a single
(Put it on video and then realized the camera was too close and it looks like a 3 plate lift)

I now realize chasing too heavy of a lift on DL day too soon is hurting my progress.
On the up side I’m only 1 plate away from meeting my goal in the DL. The other 2 are going to need more work.

Solid work on those last two sessions. Monstrous pull session!

Practice editing a couple of videos I didn’t get loaded.



The DL is the 495 from Friday

Words fail me when I look at what you have been through, but your return is inspiring.

Nice work. For some reason I couldn’t see the 495 vid. Probably my Duck Duck Go browser…

Thank you

At first neither vid would load on my phone then they both did. I’m not tech savvy.
