Today the powerlifting crew was off and resting up for tomorrow's big squat day. This will be the heaviest of the cycle. We are bring out 4 lifters that are competing in Vegas Sept 13th-16th at GPC World Powerlifitng Championships. There are supposed to be over 500 lifters from around the world competing.

As far as my lift today I did some quick light shoulder presses nothing much. Trying to activate and wake up my muscles until the cardiologist says I can lift heavier. I would like to by Halloween be able to bench 315, squat and dead 500. This is baby weight for my past self but the new me will be an accomplishment. Hoping by Jan 1st to be able to throw gear on and build up to the Arnold.
