Tonight at Big Iron Gym I got to see some of the best lifters around. I trained a bit, but spent most of my time watching Red Dog squat 7 plates on each side and The Freakshow Shawn Frankl bench 6 on each side. Got good tips on form and learned alot. Next time I will be joining in with whatever I can throw at them. Wish me luck! 🙂
