Nick, you're a legend

Smart lifts mate. You got the win and something to learn from the day.

Total success in my book.

Edit:

That Nick guy is coming to Aussie PA nats (looks like I will be same fed as you)

And nice lifts mate (just got email update of your yt channel)

I love your squats... Can i see the missed lifts too?

Also, what is your opinion on sumo vs conventional. Toying with the idea of using it at meets but doing conv in training.

Squat
496 - 3 whites, fast
529 - 3 whites, grindy
x551 - too heavy

Squats were feeling off from my very first set with the bar. Happy with 529, but 551 would have been tits. I should have gone 540 on my 3rd based on the speed of 529.

Bench Press
341 - 3 whites, fast
363 - 3 whites, grindy
x374 - too heavy

Quite happy with 363, but 374 was fairly close so that kinda irritated me.

Deadlifts
x529 - 3 reds, TERRIBLE calf cramping at lockout, dropped before I got the down command.
529 - 3 whites, smokeshow, played it safe
584 - 3 whites

Had to decide what was more important, clinching 2nd place at 198 with a modest 551-562 pull, or gunning down the first place guy. Decided to go for gold, and ended up winning the 198 division. Had I missed it I would have taken 3rd.

Total
1477


All in all, very happy with the day. Got meet PRs on all lifts and total. Had I taken slightly smarter attempts on squat/bench and not ran into my cramping on deads, I would have snuck past 1500. Oh well.

Video is coming.

Amazing work yo. Great job.

1500 total next meet will be cake. So close to a 600 lb. DL also.

[BongoBanger]

congrats brah..
gotta love that all or nothing mentality.

[BombDonald]

Man solid total @ 198! Congrats Nick!

Awesome work!!!

Thanks guys. I am re-uploading a video right now with a song that won't get muted. Passed out on my parent's couch last night right after I updated the log lol.

Love the constent updates I got, great job, and damn that meet was close.

I almost fukkin snorted when you told me to put chalk on my legs. I saw that guy there, but didn't see him lift. He must have been in the morning session.

Awesome work!

Wonderful!

Thanks guys.

Eh, I'll think about posting the missed squat/bench.

My opinion about sumo is that I can pull a ton more without straps due to having a tighter set-up. Confident I left 20 lbs on the platform yesterday. Was contemplating taking a 611 pull on my 3rd to break 1500 if my first two attempts would have went well.

I am still going to be training conventional because I want the back strength. Thinking about doing some moderate rep sets with medium weight of some extra wide sumo pulls just to get some flexibility and hip strength though.

Amazing work yo. Great job.

1500 total next meet will be cake. So close to a 600 lb. DL also.

I'll smoke 600 at my next meet. I promise lol.

Me and another guy both had 405kg sub-totals going into deads, with 3rd place trailing at 397.5.

405kg guy opens 230kg, makes it. I open 240kg, fuk up. 397.5 guy opens 250kg, takes the lead.

405kg guy and I both nail 240kg and tie it up, 397.5 guy takes 262.5 and expands his lead by 15kg.

That's where I had to decide what's more important, taking 255kg-ish and clinching 2nd, or going big and winning. Figured with how the 262.5 guy's attempts were going, he'd be at 270kg for his 3rd. He was lighter than me so a tie would go to him, so I went 265kg, meaning I'd beat him by 2.5kg if he got 270kg. He ended up calling for 267.5, so I don't think he had much faith in my 265kg.

Top 3 totals at 198:
1477
1455
1432

Easily the most competitive meet I have done yet, and am really excited at the thought of going to nationals. Also beat the Raw Unity qualifying standard, so that option is always there as well. I am super fukkin pumped about everything lol.

[dan_g_28]

Nice job, Bomb. You'll be well into the 1500s and smash that 600 pull next time.

That guy cracked me up, he thought he was god of the 165's and never touched my openers lol. Would be awsome to go to nats or RUM, we could possibly hit up RUM this next time if you want. You want to come do the UPA meet in April, bet you would be looking down 1600 with there set up, def over 1500 even if you do not use wraps.

Still thinking about it. I'm considering doing single-ply only using a shirt + wraps if I do it. Just would order a Titan F6 or something. Trying to figure out what my next priority is at this point. Training is likely going to be pretty calm for a bit.

[breathinglife]

Awesome work, BD. Those were some solid lifts.

I think you could pick up a used shirt and suit for like $150 on plwatch if you wanted to do it for fun. It could be alot of fun.

1. Buy suit
2. Go to gym in suit.
3. Squat 600lbs for reps.
4. pull bitches out of that gym like crazy!!!!!

[FastCatChamp]

Congrats Bomber! I knew I had bettered check you log when I left Chuck E Cheese today........true story.

[-=Zeus=-!]

You are fking crazy for lifting thru the pain of the calf cramp, that **** hurts.

How was the pulling? Glad you went Sumo?

[LegosInMyEgos]

I wanted to the see the squat and bench fail

[johnblythe]

dude that was awesome. great work!

[BombDonald]

No 1500 but I ain't mad at all.

There is no way I am training in my gym in a squat suit lol. I'd be hesitant about using a bench shirt.

Thanks dude. Now I want pizza lol.

Jon Krogman gave me some weird stuff to put on my calves, and it stung like hell but the cramping went away. Just stretched them out and everything was fine. Don't even know why that happened considering I wasn't dehydrated at all.

I was super glad I went sumo though. Confident I would have nailed 600 had I attempted it the. The 584 was no thang. Gonna be training some deficit conventional for a while though.

Maybe I'll put up an extra video with those two lifts. I'm not at home right now though so I don't got the vids.

dude that was awesome. great work!

Thanks dude.

[mm55]

Nice meet bro, that calf cramp looked painfull as hell. Squats and bench looked mega smooth. 1500 will be yours soon enough.

[MatTheCur]

Sh!t, MY calf cramped when I saw that.

Glad it wasn't more serious. And again, GJ on everything!

[BombDonald]

It will. I plan on demolishing 1500. If I plan to make the trip to Kileen, TX in August, I need to be projected closer to 1600 to be able to hang with the top guys.

Just wish I could have held it for another second to get the down command lol. Literally just fell apart.

[Juggernaut0]

I was actually surprised he bounced right back and pulled 584. Looked like a major strain and he wasn't gonna continue. Great work.

[-=Zeus=-!]

Was it a cream or something? cold to heat or what?

[BombDonald]

Nah just some cramping. I think the quick and exaggerated lockout must have put me in a weird position.

Was it a cream or something? cold to heat or what?

Can't remember what it was called. It had a sponge on the end and I think it was yellow?

[wick]

Yeah I reckon you definitely had 600. 584 looked comfortable.

[Kent.White]

Nice lifts.

[ChecksandGiggles]

Pretty ill, dude. Cramp looked terrible though.

[Tom Bro]

Awesome lifts dude! The cramp looked painful. Almost as painful as when you smashed your head into the bar lol.
