Today as our last heavy training cycle for our powerlifters competing at the XPC meet at the Arnold Classic. They worked up to a PR or third attempt in the deadlift. Kyle hit a 25lb PR and Kristin had a smoke show PR of 30lbs. Was a great day for all. The other group doing the in house meet did a "filler" lift just to stay sharp and break a sweat.

The treadmill rehab workout for myself again was very tough especially by the end, last few minutes. Don't know if it is the weather or just my breathing but I was struggling.

I have learned a lot this last year on how to better coach and treat all equal. I made a huge mistake on trying to form a group of three within our team and it backfired. Now that I have cleaned house I can feel better about the team as a whole. Lesson learned.
