We haven’t had internet at our house going on almost two weeks now so I’ve been slack on posting. Here is 535×4 extra wide stance off a 1 mat deficit from 6 days ago.

I’m currently in Savannah visiting John and Dorris. I rode down yesterday and we went straight from athens to savannah in under 4 hours, didn’t stop once. Got here, and was at the globo gym with John within like 45 minutes. I was supposed to squat 485×5 in wraps. Anyways, the plates they had were absolutely and unneccesarily huge, and they didn’t have 35′s, so you literally couldn’t fit four 45′s, one 25, one 10, and one 5 on the bar to make 485, so I ended up just squatting 495 bc you could fit five 45s on there. The squats were actually atrocious, and this camera angle makes them look even worse. I’ll post the bad along with the good though once I get them uploaded. Funny thing about working out in a globo gym is that, although these were high, ugly, slow generally beta in everyway, there… it is a feat of excellence. Some old dude walked up to me after the squat grinning ear to ear and shook my hand. Seriously. This is in stark contrast to the beating I would have received at quest for these squats.
I have officially signed up for the arnold. Right now there’s only one person signed up in my weight class, a Brazilian. I have heard Luis Tapia from Puerto Rico is doing it also and that guy has a monster squat. I believe he did 755 at their nationals. The Full Roster will be out November 30th or whenever it fills up, whichever comes first. I’m mad stoked for this meet, just becuase the atmosphere surrounding the arnold is unbeatable from what I’ve heard.
