I can't believe it's almost August already :confused:

I am excited for this. Itching to compete and expecting a good event!

Hey Gary,
Thanks for putting together a great meet! And after all that, you threw up some pretty damn heavy weight at the end of the day.

I had a lot of fun lifting as well as meeting the other athletes. Good times.

Oh yeah, on a side note: there were actually a number of Performance Menu members and lurkers participating in the comp....I think 6 or 7 total.

This was a blast! Nice to meet everyone and thanks for putting on the meet Gary. Great close competitions.

Still trying to get the hang of my new camera, so there were a lot of blurry shots. Here's what I uploaded so far.

Looks like fun, congrats on your PR's and placings!
