It's hard not to be critical of myself when I know what my numbers used to be on squat and deadlift. But my health is not the same. I have to respect that and be patient. My bench though? Monstrous.

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!?

HOA! And we almost timed it.

Granted that once was completing an 11 mythic key which was crazy to me but I had only done a 6 prior lol

These are all lifts at an estimated 10% out from my 3rd attempts, but that will vary WILDLY based on meet day. I have a target range for all of my lifts and if I hit truly 10% above these, it's the top end of my hopeful range.

255 before that

255 before that

275 lb squat

200 before that was super duper paused on the chest
