This dude Ethan came in 30 pounds lighter and pressing 65 pounds about a year ago. He hit 195 for a disgustingly easy single on Saturday. This is the fastest I’ve gotten someone this strong on the press.

Last night Kennedy squatted his previous 1RM for 3 sets of 5. He knows what he’s doing and could train on his own with success, but gets coaching ANYWAYS because it helps him stay consistent and accountable. Plus yelling helps.

Incredible day for my guy Grant. I almost scratched deadlifts after his last warmup at 595. He injured his hamstring on his third attempt squat. He came out and got all 3 deads. Finished with 661 and a 772.5kg PR total. So proud of this dude.
