well i did my first full power meet.i had a blast and there is no day in the gym compared to the beating i took at the meet.i got home yesterday played with the kids for a minute and went to bed about 5 pm to 730 this morning.i needed it.i totaled 1125#'s wanted 1200#'s and went for it but had some redlights.had some brainfarts which caused me lifts like racking before getting the command on bench and moving a foot before getting the rack command on the squat,and missed a couple lifts.i had a blast set my mett pr's and now its time to break em.i took 1st place in the mens 30-34 yo 275# division and 2nd in the overall open.i weighed in at 250.6#'s.my lifts and lights went like this
squat
1 315 3 whites
2 365 3 whites
3 405 3 reds moved my foot before the rack command
4 405 2 whites and a red got a 4th becaus eof a state record
bench
1 315 3 reds racked before command crushed the lift though
2 315 3 whites a little slower but still killed it
3 365 3 reds got it halfway and died
4 365 3 reds same
dead
1 365 3 whites
2 405 3 whites
3 455 3 reds got to the top and couldnt lock more of a grip problem that anything
4 455 3 reds same
totaled 1125#'s
i started light and next time more weight will go up!back to the gym baby i can now call myself a true powerlifter!

man the weight is flying on these!i'm very happy.the progression for this workout was to go 355#'s for my last set of 5 but the 345#'s were so light i hit 365# then did another set of 375# because the 345# felt like a warm up.
