Touched some not others; don't remember which. Locked all.
Odd day. Felt strong and quick but was not as tight as I should have been. Back was loose and there was a bit of chaos with the bar re control. Need to focus on the back/shoulder blades next time. Also, with the DD the neck and the arm/shoulder seams can be adjusted seperately sort of. I need to have the arm seams down and the collar up. I was worried about the weight and got the collar too low. I will adjust this in 2 weeks when going to 1 board and full ROM.

Added thought: the bar we were using had a lot of "whip" to it. Seemed to strat bending @ about 315. I think I might have touched more with a stiffer bar. or I'm just whining...

Decent day over all. Happy locking out 4 reps over 500. Getting a bit more used to the mind set and focus.

Brett and Zimm were absent. Zimm was in NV re the adoption of a baby boy. We are very pleased for the Zimmermans.

On a sadder note, Nate's Dad passed away last week and the funeral was Sat AM. Our thoughts and prayers remain with Nate and his family. Though there was a prolonged illness and his passing was expected, it is never easy to say good bye to a loved one.
