#uspanortheast

First powerlifting meet in 4 1/2 years for this guy. Training issues such as not getting regular time in 😂🤣😂 COVID in January and gravity, killed the numbers but I have a starting point to get busy going forward. Went easy for a solid 8 for 9 with every one body weight or better. Having two training partners now should get some real progress going. Certainly motivated after today. Thanks to @rblickenstaff for the advice in the deadlift and as always @aferchen for running a smooth event in a COVID world. After July, I advance to the “senior citizen” category Masters 65-69. Should be fun. #masters_60_64 #uspanortheast #uspapowerlifting (at Frontier Volunteer Fire Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhxKt2hp0R/?igshid=1gacoee7l6xs1

Long warmup for the squat tonight. Signed up for the #uspanortheast Winter Classic on the 20th. Lifting in the 100 kg (220#) weight class for the first time and my first platform lifts since Sept 2016. Looking for reasonable openers. I have nothing to compare it to so my numbers will be what they will be. Took the squat to body weight tonight (video) and was not unhappy. I’m going to try and get to Elite in the next two weeks with spotters to see how much I can get but body weight looks like a good start. Front squats and done.
