**arkskier** · 02-01-2009, 05:26 PM

I got two golds for novice and class B for my 60kg weight class, and then I was Best Lifter for men's novice. amazing. I was so scared when I started, and training was so tiring. It was all worth it!!!

edit, my numbers: squat 120, bench 82.5, deadlift 150. total 352.5 kgs. my weight: 57.5 kg.

jw, (so i dont have to make a new thread), if you know the answer, then can you answer this for me:

if you bomb out on squat, is the meet over for you? or do you still do all 3 lifts?

**Metal Jerk** · 02-01-2009, 06:40 PM

**samsuperjew5** · 02-01-2009, 06:49 PM

I think a general rule of thumb is:

open with something you can easily triple

then a max or very close max

5-15 pound PR or so.

1. What's up with Men' Novice category? I've never heard of such devisions.
2. How many lifters were you competing against?

**Nikonguy** · 02-01-2009, 07:06 PM

yea i think it's over if you bomb out on one. rule is to do 80% of your 1RM for your first attempt. then maybe 100% for 2nd attempt, then 110% for 3rd if you're in the zone.

no you are not done you continue on with the meet. I saw a kid bomb in the squat at USAPl collegiate nationals and he went on to pull what would have been a national record in the deadlift. The record did not count bc he had bombed but he benched and deadlifted after he bombed

isn't that what we were saying? even if you break a record, if you bomb out, that record doesnt count. you have to have all three lifts for every lift to count.

**squat220** · 02-02-2009, 02:55 AM

yes but when you bomb you are not done with the meet. You can choice not to finish the meet but it is not like you are not allowed to continue on and try yo set personal records and what not.

**burningNun** · 02-02-2009, 05:23 AM

It's up to the referees and the fed whether they let you continue I think.

yeah it's up to the meet director. some (i think most) will let you keep lifting if you want to.

**arkskier** · 02-05-2009, 05:08 AM

thanks for the reps guys

**NASAKYCHAIRMAN** · 02-05-2009, 05:36 AM

yes, but the numbers don't count, so you don't continue on.

easy way: just don't bomb

**DaBurg3r** · 02-08-2009, 10:07 PM

good job man, repped!

urgh, total nub here unaware what bombing is...
Failing 1st attempt of the squat?? Bit harsh to not let the rest of the meet count. Or is it all 3 attempts?

All 3 attempts

If you miss all three attempts in any lift it would be considered a bomb.

Say for the squat you get all three attempts in. You can now go on to bench.

You miss all three of your attempts. So, now your squat numbers don't count and if the meet director does allow you to deadlift your deadlift doesn't count. Most people just stop lifting for the day and don't waste the time and health of the spoter/loaders.
