Arnold Meet Prep Squats- Byrd

The count down has begun and things are getting a lot more serious. The weights are starting to climb, and honestly this is the part of training that I really love! The atmosphere has really picked up at Team Samson with multiple lifters pushing up their numbers.

Squats:
Raw up to 400
Briefs 600 and 700
Suit with light straps
800, 905

zakk5

Block pulls 4inches
Final set of 705

Body weight is in the 280s so still got some weight to gain. Right now I am in a great spot, I am pretty healthy (thats a miracle in itself) and fairly strong.
