Travels, Coaching, & World Record Squats

This last week I had the pleasure of flying to Prince George British Columbia to help out my friend Amit Sapir who I have been helping out with his training this year. Amit's frist meet was at GPC Worlds last year after we spent a couple coaching sessions together. He did one test meet in April to feel out where were at after a Hamstring tear around the beginning of the year. I'm quite pleased with how he has progressed and his passion for the sport is inspiring. Amit has pushed through some devastating injuries that are affecting his Bench and Deadlift significantly still. However he hit a PR and World Record on the squats and Post-Surgery PR on Bench and Deadlifts. Squat 738 - Good 751 - Good 766 - Good 782 - No Lift Bench 315 - Good 383 - Good 402 - Good 419 - Good Deadlift 523 - Good 578 - Good 606 - Good I would call 10/11 and a World Record a successful meet. The final attempts were all dialed leaving little extra lbs on the platform.

Have not gotten in the groove as of yet to capture my daily high volume training but starting to ramp up the weights again. I trained the day before the meet and after the meet at Xconditioning in Prince George. Last week I spent at Donnie Thompson's gym training and sharing knowledge each day. It was a fantastic collaboration and we both took in a bunch of knowledge from each other. I'm hoping to get some of those video's posted up in the future. This week will be my last week of training for a couple weeks as I have 3 seminars (North Carolina, Hawaii, Oregon) and almost 2 week vacation in Hawaii planned with my family.
