training

so ive been in ft lauderdale for about month now and the week before i got down here i hit some raw PR's of 425 bench and 515 squat so that was cool. some highlights so far of being down here aside from the massive amounts of hot ass walking around, include some decent rep PR's on squats (475x4 raw) and 315x10 medium grip on bench after hitting an easy 405 close grip. ive been training with my new roommate carlin since ive been down here and he is an up and coming powerlifter whose made solid gains already in the last month plus my other roommate deepal has started to lift with us but he is just starting out as in this is the first hes ever lifted.

so this week however i started training with a guy named bennet (mark lessman). he used to train out of orlando barbell with schwab and jo jordan. hes about 5'5" or 5'6" and 215 lbs, very thick and very strong. he's a multiply lifter with a 700+ squat, 525 bench, and 600 deadlift to his credit. he is very knowledgable and helpful already.
