I hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

It was a really busy week with a ton of great fitness info.

I am so proud of my client, David. He achieved his lifetime goal this week. Hit a 405 deadlift. He’s 56 years old and he’s been after a four plate deadlift for 30 years. This week he smashed his goal and I couldn’t be happier for him!

Really proud of my client, David. He’s 56 years old and he’s been trying to 405 for the last 30 years. He’s been working his ass off and tonight he smashed it! #powerlifting #deadlift #405 #fitness #strengthtraining #train #gainz #PR #prcity #bostonsstrongest #motivation #dedication #focus

 I had a big week deadlifting too. I hit 710, my last heavy pull getting ready for my meet on January, 24th.

Training Log Week 10

 

Quick Squat Tip

This is a valuable tip you’re going to want to know BEFORE you compete. If you’re used to looking in a mirror when you squat, it’s going to be a shock when it’s suddenly not there. Don’t have the first time you squat without looking in a mirror be in a competition. This is unfortunately something a lot of lifters learn at their first meet. Be prepared. Squat facing away from the mirror, or cover it up.
