I bought my first pair of weightlifting shoes, blue suede Do-Wins and they arrived today from Wichita Falls Weightlifting and Glenn Pendlay. The shoes worked great and I was able to power clean 100 lbs more than my previous best. (NOT!) Seriously though, they fit great and I think I will enjoy lifting in them. Even better is the level of attention and dedication to the best customer service possible that Glenn brings. I first heard about Glenn’s commitment to his customers from a friend of mine who purchased two bars from WFW.

i was going to take the day off, but I took the Do-Wins out for a drive…

Burgener warm-ups, 2x, one with a stick and the other a 45# bar.
Power Cleans: 95×5/135×6/155×6/135×5/145×5/
High Pulls:165×5/225×6/
RDL: 225×6 Losing my grip at the 5th rep

I did not have the mojo to do the Purposefully Primitive Pulling workout today no doubt because of the max single deadlifts I did 2 days ago.
