Not for me. Al Stegner is coming....3x World Champ in the 50-54 class. Four inches taller than I am. 38+ open stone...30+ Braemar... If I NAIL it, I can almost hang with him in the weights, though it'd be the first time ever. Hammer, he throws longer than I do, but not just silly distances, longer.
WOB, 14 every time, and often enough, 15. Even 16. 26 foot sheaf.
If I have THE DAY and he falls on his butt, I MIGHT hang with Al. But that's OK, he's a great guy and we're friends. It'd be cool to win an event or two off of him, though! It could happen in the LWFD if I really clock one. ANd I could tie him in WOB if I totally nail it and he has a sorta "off" day.

You just have to chew the same gum as he does. Ask him what brand he chews.
I was surprised I got 2x300, then surprised I got it again. After all of the volume, I didn't expect to get 310, but it was quick & easy. So I decided to go off the reservation & try 315. After hitting 315, I was too stoked to complete the workout, so no assistance work today.

Somewhere down the line, you oughtta think about doing a powerlifting meet, just for yucks. Your lifting gains these past 5-6 months are huge.
work killed me yesterday, so couldn't stay on the schedule. At least I got in there today. I just about did myself in, doing a big DL day after my PR in backsquat on Monday.
