Best wishes go out to Gary Thomas who had emergency spinal surgery, while he was in California.
Gary and Elma (webmasters--and main contest data controllers for WABDL ) Just got home to Bend, Oregon and will update lots of things on the site before heading to the Ocean for some Rn'R--it wouldn't be the same without their friendship and help at all the major meets...here's to a serene Holiday and speedy recovery, to the nicest people in the sport !

Check out the results page there are some incredible lifts noted on the list !

I've only worked out twice since the meet, both days were heavy pin press days--my 'shirt' day at Nancy's gym was 'snowed out' so I went up to Target Fitness yesterday and stole a workout there...

In the Squat rack I set the bench in, and the pins at chest height, I pressed from a dead stop- to da top !

225X15 315X5 -365-365- 385- 385-390-390- 395- 400--
then I did small purple reverse bands for 405X4 425X3 435X2 445+450 for a pretty good workout...this replaced work with the bench shirt...and was crafted to have more work in it than last weeks pin press session.

BIG NEWS --in a whole different world Ryan Kennelly just astounded the Bench Press World with a 1050 lift in the APA federation (professional division) to the side on my blog here is a link to Powerlifting Watch dot com...click over there to go to the site that shows his lift on YOU TUBE also PLW has threads of congratulations on this unheard of accomplishment--he almost made 1105 as well, but it stalled out an inch or so from lockout !
Here's a shot I took of Ryan in Portland a few years back --he's even more impressive now at around 347 pounds !
