opened 606 and missed all three attempts about 1-2" from lockout. each one looked like a clone of the others. good meet though. i know where i have to focus my training now. focused on speed out of the hole this past training cycle and neglected my lockout. my speed off the chest was by far my best ever. plus i touched all three attempts with 606. couldnt touch it in the gym. set my shirt up a bit looser and it helped.
anyway found another bench meet in 3 weeks 2 hours from the house so we'll try again there.
i weighed in at a slim trim 304 for the meet.
saw lots of big lfts saturday. one guys smoked an 1102 squat in the 308s but got called for depth. it was very close. i cannot describe the feeling that runs thru me when im at meets watching attemts like this. its electric. i start twitching and stuff. no other arena is the world like it. i had a blast and the meet was extrememly valuable for me. saw a bunch of wpo lifters there just helping out. only in PLing does this happen. how many nfl guys at local games helping out? also chris cook opened with a 925 bench. fell just short of lockout on his 3 rd attempt. (he's putting on the meet im doing in 3 weeks in his home town a couple of hours from here)
meet lasted about 9 hours from start to finish. very well done and everyone had a great time. phil harrington put on a show inthe 181 class. 881 squat, nailed a 903 attempt but got called for depth. gave 717 a nice ride on deads for a new all time world record total but could t finish it off. still toatlled 2071. another guy squatted well over 9 in the 198 calss to set a nerw all time world record and just missed 938, called for depth. it was a weird meet as well, lots of guys bombed going for big #s. the judging was fairly strict but fair and consistant.
ill try to get some pics up when i can. one of the ladies with us took some pics.
mr69 i been as heavy as 320ish. felt bad though. i feel best at 290-295. i bloated up on purpose for this meet as 308 is the top of the class i lifted in.
