Best training session I have had in a while. The gym was hopping with a bunch of us and big Neezy had me all fired with his near flawless dead lift technique and superior strength to mine. My competitiveness proved it is not dead and kicked in. I got an all time sumo PR and I am getting closer to my old form on conventional. For my size and stuff I am still probably only about 75% of where I should be, but progress is progress I guess. Great day overall.
