I dare you not to smile. This is our gym cat Cheez meeting the new gym mirrors (Dec ‘23)

happy feline friday

Coach had me do a squat amrap (as many reps as possible, in one set) yesterday at 255 lbs, and I got 11. Please clap

thx @hrcga.bsky.social @bentleyforus.bsky.social for hosting Pride to the Capitol today!

You do now.

I coached Joy (left) today at PLU Southern Regionals in Huntsville AL. She went 7/9, and though she’s been fighting an injury she still won her division and hit PRs + state records in squat and deadlift!
I also refereed all day. It was a great meet. Congrats to all the lifters!

Deadlift 3x3 at 330. Coach made a typo and it was supposed to be dubs not triples. Oh well, I needed the extra reps of rage lifting anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Squats today 3x2 at 290lbs
Offseason work. I’m lifting in July at PLU Nationals

Powerlifting United is a new federation (started Sept ‘24).
PLU is now the most inclusive fed : new Gender Neutral, para sports and youth divisions (ages 10+ can now compete) for ‘25. Weight classes for all genders go up to 140+ kg/ 308 lbs. No approved gear list = cheaper for new lifters …

I guess I’ll post some occasional powerlifting training vids here for #powerliftingsky #gymsky

4x2 at 315 on the Texas deadlift bar (block 2 since switching from Kabuki bar)

Boycotting for beginners by @jnaydaily.bsky.social :
Pace yourself, start with one area, give yourself grace.

I’m spending less (working toward $0) with Amazon and more with Costco and small businesses. How bout you?

At the emergency vet with our gym cat Cheez. Send happy thoughts

Get outside with nature.

I’ll never forget visiting the redwoods in Northern California in 2016 and hope I can go back soon
