Well everyone that reads this will get some big news fast. Gary Frank was at meet attempting to retake all time total. Got 1041 squat up but bombed on 800+ bench opener.
I did pretty good for a 60-64 220 life time drug free lifter. On the squat I went 501, 550, then 573, on bench just made opener at 352 missed 374 twice, went 523, 550, 584 on deadlift, and I had a 685 kg total or in English 1510. The squats, deadlifts and totals were all Alabama and American AAPF records. Praise the Lord, I survived another meet (number 109). Today I fill like I have been in a car wreck. When you lifters go above 40 years old you will know what I'm talking about. The guest preacher at out church this morning put it in perspective. He said when your 20 you run up to the fence and jump over it. When your 40 you run up to the fence and run around it. When your 60 you walk up to the fence and with help climb over it. When your 80 you dont ever care what's on the other side of the fence. Amen

Maybe one day when I grow up I can go heavy like you!
