Big T, thanks for the shout. It was great to "be back home". I will never forget where my roots are. As for my workout, you didn't miss much. Squats are about the same, Bench a tad bit better. What I really appreciated was the hospitality and support you guys showed Matt. I am trying to "resurrect" Powerlifting over here in Lake Charles, and he is one of a few that seem interested.
As for the Big P tribute, the only thing I can say is that behind every successful man, there is a strong woman. We probably need to thank Joel as well for sharing Big P with us. He may just be the one main reason Powerlifting is still alive and well in Louisiana. While Jeff and Wade (and others) put us on the map with their lifting, without Big P, there may not be a showcase for some of these talents. As for the "shirt off his back", he has done the same for me as well. I am still deadlifting with the same hand-me-down Marathon suit he gave a few years ago. What a guy.
