Chris Diehl smokes 220kg for 3. A massive PR triple after wrapping up 4 weeks of higher volume squatting 😈
What do we think Chris will squat for 1? 👀
strength.log adding over 10kg to his block sn**ch on a Friday morning. This lift ties his best from the floor and looked about as sharp as any lift Dan has ever done
