digitaldisciplineI'm not even sure what an Airbender is, or how one would notice if the air was bent without special skills or equipment. If, however, you pick up a straight bar from the middle, it will bend down at the ends. Unladen, this bend will not be detectable without the aforementioned skills and equipment.
Applying a substantial load, however, will make it apparent without the fancy shit. You just have to be able to do it.
495# for a double; this was supposed to be my top-end set, but it felt good enough that I wanted to keep going.
545# for a 40# PR the week of my 40th b-day
Given the elevated excitement of last week, with Magellan care and being shorthanded at the office, most of my workouts were hurried, harried, or otherwise gimped; being able to put in some solid work on Saturday was a moral imperative just so I didn't feel disappointed in my efforts for the week. I didn't get to do a ridiculous 40-rep set of anything on the day itself, so this was a meaningful, if belated, substitution.

I am on the hook to work the kilt blowing late night on friday; i don't yet know what hotel that's in. otherwise, my deployment this year is to ride herd on ballrooms in the hilton and sheraton (the heroes and villains ball is the biggie; not sure how that coincides with your costume itinerary)
