Notes: Very interesting day today. The session was incredibly difficult and I'm quite surprised that I didn't fail and drop the bar on bench or squat. Well...I did have a bench mishap, and it's on video, haha.

There is an older guy who teaches Olympic lifting to some people at my gym, but I never really thought twice about who he was. Well, he introduced himself to me when he saw me squatting, and his name is Issaac "Ike" Berger, and an Olympic lifting legend. I thought he might have been full of it, but he told me that he won the 1965 gold with a 336lb clean and jerk at 130lb. He told me he also squatted 530 at 130! Get this...he was good friends with Paul Anderson. I about shat myself.

I hope to pick his brain quite a bit. He was telling me that I should squat with the bar high, though. You know Olympic lifters... :-)
