Today I was able to hit 415 and 425 both paused. Both PR's!!! However, in the 2nd vid my spotter didn't let me finish the rep. Obviously I think I was still pressing and finishing the lift and would have completed it successfully. Your thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated

Maybe, but what's your deadlift and squat? Mines 620 and 555 if you're wondering.

DL is close to 8 in just belt, and squat in the low 7's. You have a great bench though. Im guessing you compete in both BB and PL?

Wow that's insane!!! I've competed twice in bbing and I did a photoshoot with MuscleTech one time, but powerlifting is way more fun so I don't know if I'll ever get back on stage. Plus I like to eat and powerlifting allows me to do that. I'd definitely like to try some strongman stuff too at some point. I just worry that my height would hinder me.

There are LW categories. If you ever aspired to be a pro LW you would need to bulk some, but you could be competive at the national level weighing 200 as an Amateur.
