First full meet completed this weekend

[Abbrevi8tor]

Meet went really well. There were only 7 lifters, so it didn't last very long. I think we were done in about 3.5 hours.

Here are my results:

Squats:
Attempt 1: 418 lbs (3 whites)
Attempt 2: 443 lbs (3 whites)
Attempt 3: 473 lbs (3 whites)

Bench:
Attempt 1: 315 lbs (3 whites)
Attempt 2: 341 lbs (3 whites)
Attempt 3: 352 lbs (3 whites)

Deadlift:
Attempt 1: 535 lbs (3 whites)
Attempt 2: 562 lbs (3 whites)
Attempt 3: 600 lbs (3 reds)

All the squats were fairly easy. The Bench on my last 2 attempts I hit the uprights on the right hand side on the way to lockout, all attempts were fairly easy. On attempt 3 of the deadlift I had it to about an inch from locking out but my grip was slipping, so I was pretty disappointed about that.

600 lb Deadlift attempt (3 reds)


473 lb squat attempt


I won't post the benching videos cause there were people standing in the way and crap. But if you would like to check out any other attempts go to:

Went to early weigh in on Friday night and weighed in at exactly 220. I had to pretty much strip down to my boxers to make that. So I made it into the the 220 lb sub-masters Pure division.

The Federation that sanctioned this meet was NASA. Very good judging at this meet. Didn't see anything that should of been red lighted when it wasn't and vice-versa.

I was amazed at how easy the 473 lb squat felt. I was sort of disappointed I didn't go heavier on those and the bench. I was also amazed at how easy the 600 lb deadlift broke from the floor. The head judge told me that was the first time he saw a deadlift that close to being locked out without actually being locked out, lol.

I noticed that too, very popular weekend for meets.

And thanks all.

Good job man.

If knee wraps are legal for your purposes, you'd have smoked 500lbs. Every try them? Good meet.

I actually took a pair with me, but never wrapped. I had only worn them a couple times in training and they felt awkward as all hell. I think I just needed to start using them way before this meet, which is what I plan on doing for the next one.

Thanks for dropping in.

Looking good. 8 for 9 is a hell of a day.

Awesome squat, that looked easy as hell...and you should have stayed with that deadlift, you gave up too easily.

very strong, bro

Yeah, it was pretty disappointing to not get that locked out because of my grip.
I'll probably start adding in some rack pulls from about mid thigh to work on grip and use baby powder on my thighs.

put some weight on that bar.
