    Phenomenal. Your positivity shows your progress both as an athlete and a leader. Love what you're doing! You're pushing into new territory. You're the one discovering what it's like. Each step is a piece of success. Never underestimate the challenges you are succeeding on. You being the pioneer in this weight range is happening because you have the mental strength to push through and succeed. 800 is there. Keep that goal in mind but know that there is no schedule. It will come when you have knocked down each little barrier in your technique and training. That is happening in front of all of us. Thanks for sharing your journey.

You've said there's a weight on you to not "let down" the folks like myself who draw inspiration from what God has done in your life.. that's so real brother but just remember, you don't have to be christ to anyone! Saving someone from their deamons isn't your burden even if it's your calling :) Just keep giving Him glory and there is no way you can fail to do what you were created for! You absolutely have this lift! Praying for strength and courage and endurance and most importantly peace.

If you notice your left arm is a bit shorter than the right. I notice it when you bench. I have the same issue and it weakens my bench because of it. Previous injury can cause it.
