The struggle was squats today. 286 was the best I could manage and I got one red out of 3 lights (so it counts) for depth. MG ravaged my legs and especially my hip flexors. In May 2024 my neuro could push on my hips twice and I couldn't push against it the 2nd time. Squats will be a longer journey.

Also got 350 on deadlift. To be honest, if I wasn't so exhausted by this point 370 was likely in the cards. For reference, my previous meet PR is 408.

I opened with my previous meet PR. Do you know how incredible it is that I went from full blown myasthenia gravis exacerbation to a PR I was chasing for almost 5 years!?

Biggest total of the meet, biggest bench by 50 lbs (231 and, a meet PR of 11 lbs). 3rd overall.
This was a fight beyond belief. Most quit on the first sticking point. I had like 2-3.

Felt like crap today (tired, not MG) so bailed on the metal show. Luckily was only a $30 hit.

I am just appreciate of someone spotting 🤷♀️
But one tip is, don't touch the bar on the press.
200 X 2 here. I really didn't need the help but it's all good. Again, if you're not a vet lifter, always have a spotter. If you are a vet, always have one on top sets unless you have safeties.

Why yes, I WILL level an Orc arms warrior named Shasa because this class has crazy cool artifacts, plus Odyn's spear trransmogs that look badass you can buy, and this chosen dead armor set you can ALSO buy. With earned bronze, not IRL transactions. #warcraft #worldofwarcraft

Legion Remix campaign complete! I really like the concept they came up with of researching alternate timelines. I am a big fan of Eternus so far. #warcraft #worldofwarcraft
