I made my second attempt at the DU Horrido cert.  Mistakenly, I cut the bar to 5.25", not reading that bars can only be cut in .5" increments.  The bend was pretty decent; probably should've cut it down to 5".

Got the 5" A2 bar today in singles.  The bend was tough, but more awkward for me, as I haven't spent a lot of time with bars in this range.

Made another attempt at the Horrido DU cert with the A2 x 4.5" bar.  Had a decent first hit and was able to take it to 30 degrees, but couldn't get beyond.

I made another attempt at the A2 cert.  Got it to about 20 degrees, maybe a little more.  Definitely disappointing and not as explosive as the last attempt.  I probably should have went with thicker wraps for this one.

My wife and I took a brief vacation to the beach and I was forced to find a gym.  I found a smaller gym that had some decent equipment.  Definitely like my stuff better.  Got bad sunburn which made putting on my belt ridiculous.

Day 2 at the vacation gym.  I got up to 315 before realizing that the bar was a little bent.  So I stripped it and found another bar.  Unfortunately, none of the bars had any center knurling, so it was really awkward and never felt quite right.  All of the weights near the squat rack were these huge, double-width rubber weights.  315 would've taken up the entire bar.  So, I had to walk across the length of the gym (near the bench) and carry all of the thinner steel plates back-and-forth to the squat rack.  No idea why the regular weights wouldn't be near the squat rack?
