Things went as planned. It felt heavier than it should have BUT it went pretty well!
Squat
750 – full gear
935 – full gear – last warm-up
1055 – RB
Lots of core work to finish up, no pulls…
I kept it low volume and got through it pretty dang quick. Feeling good! One more bench session and it’s all she wrote!
I bet you didn’t expect me to post a video like this. It’s about time to spill some blood. (deadlifting of course, my shins -nothing more, maybe my nose, or byrds.)

Brian Carroll
Brian is a world-class powerlifter with over two decades of elite and pro-level powerlifting under his belt. Coming back from a devastating back injury in 2012 that broke multiple bones and that most experts said he would never recover from, he has returned to the pinnacle of world-class lifting (while 100% pain and symptom-free) and is now dedicated to helping others avoid the same mistakes that he made in the past through private and group coaching in Jacksonville, FL.
Brian’s impressive recovery has given him the opportunity to teach and deliver talks to physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, professional strength & conditioning coaches and experts from all facets of sport, on how to avoid injury, while building anti-fragile strength and resilience in athletes.
