425-1x0 (Did not get to the box before I reversed. Had NO strength to come up. Big fail!! In hindsight, I probably should have taken a smaller jump in weight, i.e. 405#, and attempted that first. Lesson learned. The last time I did these, I got 405# for 2 so...)

My biceps have been really sore since Saturday so even the SSB was a little bit of a challenge. Time for ice an Ibuprofen...or is it Propofol, I forget.

Aloha Steve,
Hey I've been trying to incorporate leg drive in my squats...I think I'm finally getting the hang of it! lol. I see you have been training very hard when is your next meet?

Aloha Leo,
I'm glad to hear that you're making improvements. Keep up the good work. I was looking at Oct. 25 in our gym but my schedule may not allow it. If I don't do that one I think we have another meet in December that I'll look at. We'll see. Janet and I look forward to seeing you and the Hawaii crew in November.
