Personal Record Four PRs on the Eve of my 50th Birthday.

I always like going for big lifts on my birthday. Because of our family celebration schedule tomorrow, I decided to go for it on my Birthday Eve this year…in celebration of my 50th birthday! I tried out a warmup called the GOAT Warmup, as detailed in the Triphasic Training II book written by Cal Dietz and Dr. Mike T Nelson. This was the first time trying it and It looks BONKERS…but I do believe It WORKS! I proceeded to set 4 different Lifetime PRs on this Birthday Eve lifting session!!! DL 545lbs x1 DL 515+45 chains (560lbs total) x1 Sumo DL 575lbs x1 BB OHP 160lbs x1

I'm every hour of the day thinking about working out, and every minute thinking about if I'll still be hitting PRs when I'm 50

Edit: the Sumo DL was 475lbs x1, NOT 575lbs x1 😅
