Someone sent an old news letter that had my first PL meet in it. I was 28 years old. It seems like a lifetime ago my friends. Time does go by so quickly.

198's
Squat: 605 lbs.
Bench: 374 lbs
DL: 567 lbs

Was this in those same sneakers?

Probably. lol I know if I went out and bought a pair of squatting shoes a lot of people would think less of me. Plus it would take away a good story.

Good numbers. As time went by did you see those numbers spike at all, tank, or stay relatively the same?

Went up. Stayed in the 198s until I could no longer and then committed to the 220s. Hit my peak at about 35 with never doing any PEDs. I knew my DL was what gave me a second place so I worked hard on that.

It would require some gear but I think I could nip at the heals of that 605 squat now but the fear of injury is too much. There's no way on Gods green earth I could do what I did at 35 y.o. now even with gear. Youth trumps gear for old men.

My 30's was a great lifting decade, as with a lot of guys though that "window" isn't open very fukking long. Now that "window" is blocked with a piece of plywood...lol
