TT weighed in at #208 He benched #314 and pulled #455.

This is actually very good for Tony. He's 45 and suffered a heart attack just a couple years ago. We're VERY proud of him. We haven't seen his best yet.

I was supposed to deload a little this week but, things don't always go as planned.

4-19-10 Deadlifts

My plan was to do 6 singles with #495 while trying out a different deadlift suit (Titan Velocity) The verdict is in. I don't like it at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#495 x 3 singles

They all felt real easy so I decided to go up a little BAD IDEA...................

#545 3 singles

Form sucked cuz I couldn't set up with the suit and I struggled with every rep.

I got pissed and went home.
