solid lifts man, we're right around the same stats. You got robbed on that first 255.. Final dead was smooooth!

[SPFjudge]

The judges claimed my glutes come off the bench, but it was just my glutes flexing for added stability

or..........


maybe your ass did come off the bench.

thanks man, the first attempt i admit i didnt wait for the press command, but the second lift should of been good, yes my ass flexed but it did not leave the bench as multiple lifters saw this and stated it should of been good. It just sucks because i was planning on hitting at least 275. oh well, ill just crush those numbers at my next meet!

Nice job man, That 500 lb Deadlift went up like you do it all the time lol. I just competed in my first meet, but benchpress only. I hit 275, then hit 290, and then missed 300 on my 3rd attempt after what felt like the longest pause of my life. I'm competing at 181 also.

[TheBeastTyler]

That was pretty good. Those deadlifts looked nice, great form. How many people were in your division?

Yeah I was surprised how fast 500 came up! Bench is def my weak point as most of the 181ers hit high 200's low 300's.Good job on the 290! And yea the pause makes it feel like internity! What are your other numbers?
