I had been looking forward to this for a week and it did not disappoint. I had a blast. The action moved pretty fast considering we had six sqautters and four finishing the rest of the workout.

Just a swell time. I felt I was alone in this assessment, though. Regardless, I had a blast. Proud of everyone for showing up. thanks to Logan for his help. My squats felt great. the 585 for 4 with wraps was done with great depth and great form.
Christan hit a PR.
Danny worked out his form issues. Gotta get his head right.
Berry made several jokes.
Mike looked strong on first reps. He will be happy: We have one more week of this crazy shit, a deload, two weeks of lighter stuff, then 4 weeks of only three sets of low reps, a deload and three weeks of 2 sets with really low reps.
Anyway, I had a blast. Nice to have Pokey as a back spotter.

I had a great time, too, Pete. My one take-away was being too skittish of my lower back. It felt fine except for that one time I grab that stupid cooler to slid it, and my lower back wanted to seize up. Felt like a wimp after that. Excuses aside, it was nice to have the camaraderie. Glad Big Mike didn't fall out due to the room spinning and such after those several sets of his.
er . . . "grabbed" and "slide"--Stupid typos.
Berry grab to slid cooler... and SMASH!
Well, good. I thought it was a fun night. Too bad you missed my BADASSSSSS 585 for 4 with wraps. It was badass. And I had a blast.
Merry Chri'mas and I'll see you on Monday.
Merry Xmas back atcha, Pete. I hope it's a good one for you and yours.
Truly and verily and indubitably, I would have loved seeing the 585.
585!
The plan is to go for 635 next week, so stay tuned.
It has been a busy one, but satisfying.
