Dude, it's been a massive pleasure watching you work for the past few years. When people on Meso talk about good, quality members they inevitably mean people like you.
I'm jelouse as fuck of you right now and would give almost anything to be able to stay healthy enough to compete, even if I came in last! You know where you're at and you've had a great coaching group guiding you. I wish you the best man. I hope you have a seriously fun time above everything else and obviously a few PRs would be cool, too!
I'm assuming your better half is going? She have the bug in her? Any competitions in her future?
Thanks icky, I appreciate that man, just doin what I have come to love though. Which, of course, is lofting heavy weights and conversing with Internet strangers because making friends in real life work is exhausting [emoji14] hahaha
Hope you are able to get to a point where you can go throw down on the platform at some point. I hear it's fuckin fun as shit, I will let you know haha. But I anticipate having a good time, it's gonna be nice taking the little trip to the meet, staying in a somewhat nice hotel and shit and making a weekend of it.
Yes the little woman is coming for sure most definitely. She has come to really enjoy lifting now that she is seeing the results from it, and she is even getting quite strong.
Don't think she will compete, she is kind of shy and I don't think I could get her onto a platform to lift in front of a room full of people.
However, once we get back into town before we start our deload week I am going to have a day where we go in the gym and have her do a mock meet/max out day on her lifts so she can see how much stronger she has gotten.
She has been in there every night with me even after working all day, 3 hour long sessions killing it and never ever complains. She has been running the same routine as me just adjusted to her strength level so she has been putting in some serious work and deserves the pleasure of hitting some nice big singles as much or more than I do haha
