28 Nov Team Samson Powerlifting- I’m out! I’m out! Squats-11/19/16

This Saturday, things got pretty intense in the gym. We have Brian cranking up for a meet, Jon doing some work in full gear, Driggers getting into wraps and briefs, Channing, Jason, and Filipe  all working reps this week.

We had several guys wearing knee wraps, and during one of our lifters getting wrapped, he tapped out. He kept saying “I’m out! I’m out!”. Despite him tapping out, we worked him to the bar and he took the weight anyway. I want to first iterate that this person is not a weak minded individual, but sometimes we can get in our own heads and resign. As far as we had gone, we the team knew that this particular lifter would be just fine, it just took a little nudging to get the work done.

Who ever said that powerlifting is and individual sport, is very, very wrong

Big Lifts of the week!

Brian- 1025 lbs Reverse Band

Byrd- 1005 Reverse Band

Channing-535
