This is the greatest place to train in Ottawa! I love it

Squats WITH a squat bar and Briefs:

145 x 5 235 x 3 325 x 3 415 x 3 505 x 1 595 x 1 685 x 1

Did this in about 7 minutes. Pretty proud of that.

Benching in the Metal Pro Original:

95 x 3 135 x 3 185 x 1 225 x 1 275 x 1 315 x 1 405 x 2 added shirt and touched the second rep! 455 x 1 super fast 495 x 1 again super fast 545 x 1 585 x 1 this wasn't as pretty as I would like. I let my legs go soft on the way down and no drive on the way up.

Training in gear takes way too long haha. I called it there. Matt Brass came all the way from Toronto. Is a great dude and a very knowledgeable lifter. He has some shitty elbow and shoulder things going on. We switched his grip to a thumbless grip. It is terrifying. But, at least he can touch and lock out with little pain and pretty solidly.
