Some fun on a short work day...it was humid today...

Superior, Note the complete ease in which Greg bends these quarters.

Back from RKC level II

Had a blast, met some truly world class people. Too tired to do a write up tonight, more to come.

Coming unglued- bending 23/64"X7" CRS tonight

After this i did a 6.5" piece of the same diameter stock to 110 degrees. I was pretty tired and my hands are beat up. Very tough stock, this is just a shade thinner than 3/8, so it fairly close in difficultly.

I was going to take tonight off, but Ryan called me and said my steel shipment was in, so i decided to get this out of the way.

I laugh every time i hear this one

Thanks Greg

Pinching + 1,041lbs power pull for 5 reps

Thank you Harlan for suggesting i get on these lifts, and thank you Bob Odin for telling me to get on this 45's pinch. I believe i will be completing the lift by 1 September.

BIG PRs are in store this year- 45's WILL go up. BKOAB will be crushed. I will figure out this long cycle clean and jerk (very technical lift, and to my extreme disappointment not one of our wonderful know it all GS experts can put out a book and DVD on this event) and move this power pull over 1700 (i will need a better bar, my Texas Power Bar is supposedly rated to 2,500 lbs, i do not trust it that much)
