Steve Belanger and the Old School Barbell Club convened today at 10:30 in Steve’s garage, jam-packed with the tools and implements of heavy lifting. Without a doubt I was the lightweight there along side of Steve, Andy and Jonas, but they made me feel more than welcome. Brent, you would LOVE this! (Steve had a really complimentary way to describe you to the other lifters, by the way).

My goal was to deadlift and pick up some pointers from these guys, which I did. I had “eyes on” for virtually all my lift from these guys which was great.

I warmed up with 135×3/135×5/185×3/185×5/.
My heavy stuff went 225×3/275×3/315×1/335×1/225×3/225×3/

Here are some pics:
