He is figuring out the shirt
Hit 425 with it and broke 360 raw, so getting stronger too.

Guy he lifts with buried 825 in a squat suit! And he competes tested!

Another local guy has been 810-815 raw for years!

Son hit 700 squat in suit.
After 3 sets of 3 with 500. Raw.

His buddy is getting close to 900 and BP' d 530 raw, then over 6 in shirt. Looking for 2100 total next weekend.

Son still had 6 weeks to go til his comp.

That's awesome!

He' s had a really rough year. Got hurt BAD last September and still has a long way to go.
Has been putting everything he has into the lifting, sort of as his own therapy I think. He missed 5 months of it and is working triple time to make up for it, despite all the lingering effects.
I really dont see the point of the gear, but whatever. Has 5 weeks to go until his meet.

His buddy hurt a quad warming up last week at the meet and came up short of his goal. Still squatted 775 but had planned to open over 8.
BP 565. Won his class and was the oldest guy in it.

I hope he's careful and trains smart; otherwise he could easily end up completely wrecked by the time he's 25.
