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.

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.
