First ever 500
​
I’m fucking ecstatic. 😂
I’ve been training seriously for about a year, and at 41 years old, I finally pulled 500 for the first time.
Four failed attempts before this, with the bar always dying around my knees. Today it finally moved through and I got the lockout.
I know the technique isn't perfect — hips/roll, etc. — and yes, I used straps. 😂 I’m working on both.
Right now, though, I’m just going to enjoy the milestone.
500 is finally mine.
Now it’s time to make it consistent and get ready for my first meet in a few months. 💪
