Updates! Updates! Updates!

Somehow I got sidetracked again and haven't been updating. Well, I have some legitimate reasons. Two weeks ago my wife graduated from University and then we spent the weekend with her folks. This last week I had an exam for work (which unfortunately I didn't pass) and then we went away for the weekend for our anniversary to a vegan bed and breakfast on Whidbey Island (Someday Farm Vegan Bed & Breakfast). We've been married 5 years already and time sure does fly! Here are some pictures of our adventure:

The lady who runs the farm even baked us a cake!


Seriously, such a great place!

So while all this has been going on I still have been dedicated to my lifting. Especially with the meet only 4 weeks away. I've still been stuck at 185 on bench press. I almost had 190, but couldn't quite get there. I test again this Wednesday though, so hopefully I'll have some good news to share. I added another 5 lbs to my squat yesterday bringing it up to 310 lbs (314 with the collars)! Last, and certainly not least, I got 4 plates (405 lbs) on my deadlift! I even managed to get a video of it. So stoked! I'm testing again on Friday so hopefully I can add another 10 lbs to that and I'll be way ahead for the meet!
