finally hit 6!

[IrishPower]

Well,

November 9th was the day for me I finally broke 600 on the bench in a meet.

837-606-600 for 2044@275.

I had to stop because i tore a little something in my lat on 2nd attempt on the deadlifts. I will have some videos and maybe some nice pictures of black and blue soon.

thanks for all the emails and well wishes!

Big Congrats Irish.

We all know you have been wanting to get this weight in a contest for some time now.

Do you think you finally hitting this was because any changes in your training or what?


Congrats again big guy..

thanks everyone!

cause of lat tear: probably excessive band usage. i had pulled both sides previously. I really doubt it's anything too serious. It will just heal up on its own. It just looks really nasty now.

It's nice to have the 600 bench out of the way. Now I can move onto better things.

The deadlift training is going to require some reworking. I really was hoping for close to 700 this meet, but shit happens.

Next competition: March
