This one will most likely not be my last. When I end these things, I want it to be on a lift I like..... And since the only one of the Big 3 I like is Deadlift..... jus sayin.
That or I will finally do a full power meet somehow. Or push/pull competition. Definitely something with multiple lifts.

Multiple lifts sounds funs! Although I guess the squat judging could get quite spicy. But all good stuff can't wait...

I hit 110x1 paused Monday.... recorded all the right things, and then realized I was wearing my elbow sleeves.

Well, it's not like I have even the slightest chance of first in either weight class I am close to, even if I had gotten the 120 I missed.

187 @ 114 BW (3/26/17 USAPL meet):
and just for funsies, I hope you all can share my excitement in this video... I hit 195 last week and decided to go for 200 and actually got it! Big time milestone & lifetime PR. 118 BW in this video btw.

1. No bench shirts, sling shots, elbow sleeves/wraps, or anything that actually helps to lift the weight.

Again, what was a bad ass PR for me, isn't even close to being competitive against PR and Tpoc
so I'll take a warm, not helping me at all, elbow sleeves with my smiling, happy elbows

Still can't do my full arch yet or go super heavy, but I might be able to by the end of the competition. Got bodyweight (lol vacation water weight) for 2 sets of 10 here. I think it actually might be 133 though, because it was a 45 lb bar.
B:185 S:295 D:345 @ around 130.♀
130 strict press @ 129.
17 strict unbroken dead hang pullups - will make it 25 by the end of 2017.
1rm pullup: + 60lbs for sure, 70lbs chin to the bar not sure if above - will make it 90lbs by the end of 2017.
