workout 8/7/2012

I remember when I caught the powerlifting bug 15 years ago, I looked at how little muscle mass I had and thought I'd never be "big".  A couple years in I had my base all squared away and it seemed like lifting had a compound effect, the more I lifted the more I could lift.  Kind of hard to explain but kind of a strength follows strength deal.  Today after about a year of lifting I feel like that base is back, I looked at myself in the mirror after my workout and had to shake my head.  I'm much thicker than I thought I'd be even with trying to keep my weight down in a manageable range.

Not a whole lot of push here just a little knee bend.  Also I learned that I can't hang clean 225, I can pull it up to my chin but I just can't bring myself to try and catch it in the rack position.
