squat
505 good
545 miss cut it high
545 miss

bench
415 miss had poor control on the way down which made it a real grinder and my butt came up
415 miss butt came up again:mad:i tried to pay off sarah to give a white but had no luck.
435 miss butt stayed down but had nothing left in me.

deadlift
515 good
550 good real grinder, meet pr
565 miss

digusted with my benching and bombed for my first time but had fun. my teammates did a awesome job running the meet and taking care of us that lifted.

[Chris Rodgers]

All I have to say is that deadlift was awesome....and even more impressive with a bashed finger! How's that thing holding up today? Getting it amputated? :eek:

[Little Anthony]

nice work... see u soon

[D0m1n90]

U rock bob haha that was some nasty stuff man o and how bout uncle todd haha

[barracuda]

how does a butt as big as yours not stay on the bench?

[john bernor]

way to go rob,,now on to 600/500/600--1700 in single ply at 181 would be straight nasty..ps buy a new bench shirt

[barracuda]

can I have your old super duper phenom? after they stretch out we should just pass them up a weight class or two - you give me yours, and John can have mine (it won't fit around Chase's enormous belly)
