    Really feeling the emotion on this one. Will found his 405 which was 225 if or 496. People wonder why we compete in sports. Its about the journey, improvement and having fun. Its not even about winning as when you give it your best you already are a winner.

    I took a 2 week break and benched 320 when i couldn't break 295. Squatted 405 when i couldn't break 365, deadlifted 425 when i couldn't break over 385. I knew rest was important, but this made me aware of fatigue. Iver been working out for 2.5 years non stop struggling to lose weight and get strong. Lost 84 pounds and raised my lifts from 95 bench and 125 squat in my journey. I wish the best to all that are still amid their journey, you got this bud. Most of the time you have to be your own coach and cheerleader, so leave out the ego and most importantly, the self doubt outside the door, and you'll become the person you always wanted to be.

    That third bench was really impressive. For those who don't know - in the USAPL (and I think most PL federations) it's not a set amount of time that the bar needs to be on the chest before the "press" command. Instead, the bar needs to be motionless on the chest before the head ref gives the command. I felt her command timing was very honest. Most lifters lose composure waiting under the bar that long but you didn't. That lift was well-earned, congrats.

I know it’s not much. But thinking about the hard work and overall journey certainly builds up character and humility. Great job, man!

    Man this is one of the most well edited and paced videos I've ever seen. Immediately got into the action and managed to maintain that for 6 minutes and not only that, it was all in one take and didn't feel faked or overly edited. I didn't even realize I had gotten that far in because I lost track of time.

  • @kbarna70

    Just watched this video now and man did I feel that emotion from squats! I have been powerlifting for almost 20 years and squats are the most nerve wrecking lift. I felt that to my core. Amazing effort and I am glad you had fun. Fun is the first and foremost thing to achieve at a powerlifting meet.

    Will, you reminded what I miss most about powerlifting: the camaraderie at meets. I only chose my first lift, then let my most trusted training partner choose the weight on the second and third attempts (I never knew how much was on the bar). You've got a lot of room to grow on the deadlift, your last one was the best, as you kept your head behind the bar. Good video, keep posting!
