Had to pay homage to the squat rack one last time. Got blessed with a PR of 420x14.

RIP to the best gym I’ll ever be a part of @orlandobarbell. @brian_brutal_journey_schwab built a community that thrived on pushing its members and looking out for one another. I’ve been a member here since 2011. This gym saw the best and worst of me, and it never stopped being there when I needed it. People like @anthonyliardo and @jon_burnham were always willing to stop what they were doing to help make sure that OBB’s members were safe. We all did. We all put our lives in each other’s hands regularly in a way that I wouldn’t feel safe doing anywhere else. Showing up early, staying late all just to make sure that you could push your limits and help others do the same.

I was visibly shaking by rep 12 but felt confident I could keep going because I knew the people around me had my back, and I never stopped feeling that way since I started here 15 years ago. RIP Orlando Barbell. Thanks for everything you did, Brian, Trinity, and the rest of the lifelong friends I made here.
