nice squats big guy, looking real good.

thnks man
how are things going for you? no updates in the journal, you recouping a little?

bb make sure you get at least one workout with a monolift in full gear before the meet. then youl know how to play your #s. mono's are odd thefirst time or two. esp with foot placement under the bar. you wanna be in the correct position before you pop it up and also if you too far forward or back racking it can be an adventure. too far forawrd the hooks can knock you back. too far back and you may miss the hooks when re-racking. plus you need to know how to pick the proper rack height. the heavier you go the lower tha rack height needs to be. if its too low you waste energey popping it up. too high and the bar hangs on the hooks.

1 or 2 sessions will dial all this in for ya. better to do it before the meet than at the meet.

congrats on some nice squats btw.

you doing good bb. nice squats.

you gonna get a chance to use a mono before the meet?

 

[blackbeard]

i dont thin im gonna get the cahnce to use a mono beforehand
too much going on for me to take up that much time in the day

whatever happens happens so be it
im going for fun anyway not to qualify for anything

 

[pullinbig]

guess youll get your chance while warming up.

good luck bubba. i think a 1850ish total qualifies you for the seniors next summer in the 275s.

enjoy your first meet. wish i could be there to cheer you on.

really??? i didnt think it was that low
anyway im a little steamed right now
i called yest to get all the info for the meet and they tell me the app deadline is today and of course they cant fax or email me an app and whoever it was that answered the phone really had no clue left my name and # for someone to call me back and of course no call back..so i gotta call today and get on their asses
never heard of a dealine so far away for a rather small meet???

 

[pullinbig]

cut off is normally 2 weeks out or so. they got trophies and stuff to order. there aint an online registration form?

is this the meet?

October 1 APF-AAPF 2nd NYC Coliseum, Middle Village, NY Ted & Stacey 718-326-2496

most local meets will allow you to pay the "day of" but its an additional 10 bucks or so.

and yup the seniors qualifier for the 275s is 1848 (800+500+550 gets you in slick). thats the weight class ill be competing in when i go back to full power. damn that would be sweet if we could both do the seniors next summer in vegas.
