–I like the push I got here.
–Matt got 2 monster 90% lifts at 265 and 270 on 3 hours sleep and no caffeine.
–John has been pining for 270 for a long time, and he clobbered 270 off the 1-Board and then grinded out 275.  Very proud of him as he trusted us over the last 6 weeks, and in another 3 weeks I expect him to nail the 270 off the chest very easily.  Huge day for both Matt and John.
