Today our Powerlifting squad wrapped up the week with heavy dumbells presses as the main lift. Our DB's only go up to 150lbs. We had quite a few of them wrap a band around their back for more added weight/tension. Time to get some bigger dumbells. The biggest ones I have ever lifted/seen was 200lbs. I do think getting some 160/170's would get used right away above that unsure. Novas group was rocking look forward to joining them soon. Our 11am group was looking great as well. Great day for them. After the DB bench the groups moved onto DB mil, and a bunch of other secondary movments to compliment the session. I hit some BB mil presses. Felt good and was a decent weight. I hit some pull aparts after as of course my group got there and I ran out of time....the life of a gym owner. Looking forward to dinner tonight we are going to a very good one where the chef is supposed to be one of the best in STL. Hoping I gain some weight this weekend. Mentally I feel better on mon when I don't lose but maintain or gain a tab. Sitting around 270lbs.
