Me BURYING my 2nd attempt squat of 335 kilos/738.5 lbs.
Trying to stay warm with my Bulky Boy beach towel & a Lava-lava.
Bull Stewart & Todd Christensen informed me that I can possibly break the American Record in the squat, so I told them that I would try to break it.
Trying to bury this 340 kilos/749.5 lbs squat...
Success! I broke the American Record for Masters (40-44 yrs) with 749.5 lbs.
The previous record was 744 lbs by Beau Moore in 2008.
Had to snap a pic with my old Gateway Athletic Club friends after breaking the record!
I am sure Willie Austin was smiling down on us. :)
Trying to get psyched for Deadlifts.
Opening attempt deadlift of 325 kilos/716.5 lbs

NO PROBLEM, BRAH...
