New squat PR!! 415 at a body weight of 203. I'd like to get it a touch deeper before my upcoming meet to make sure, but I'll take it for now!!

Unfortunately, 375 bench press is still my nemesis. I'm a little closer, though. I need more leg drive. #powerlifting #powerliftingmotivation #BlackSkyFitness #fitness #fitover55

My wife says that I have frog legs. My quads are relatively developed, but calves and hamstrings take more effort for my body type. Here's my 415 squat from Tuesday this week. I'm 200 lbs, 56, and natural.

Heavy squat today, 1x1 at 415 at the end of this block, on my road to 425. Bulgarian split squats suck, but I have to admit that they work!!

I've been lackadaisical recording my lifts lately, but here's my last set of 3x3 bench press at 320 lbs. It moved better than when I did it three months ago! #BlackSkyFitness #fitness #fitover55

I was anxious about my top set, given how 315 lbs moved as a warmup. I had a 2x1 comp bench at 340 lbs prior to the top set & they didn't move well, either. I was able to lock in, though, and get used to bench commands. Here's 355 lbs competition bench. #BlackSkyFitness #Fitover55 #fitness

Training for my 1st (& probably only) powerlifting meet June 7th. Here's Week 3 squats from this training block (1×1 @ 390). I know it's borderline, but I'm working on it!#BlackSkyFitness #fitness #fitover55

Kicked Sunday off with heavy bench (1×1 @ 350). If the rest of the week sucks, at least I started with a W! #fitness ##fitover55 ##BlackSkyFitness
