8 wks IPA Nats!

[DBCooper]

Everybody getting ready? 1 Dawg-Liftbig? see you there Grimmer, 8 wks out and 7 Squats left! Time to crank up the tunes and reach down and go all out. Everybody healthy? got their stuff? I'm about to order my suit(dble poly) and need to get a patch on my bench shirt, noticed a slight seperation on the collar after trying it on the other day to make sure I could wedge my chubby butt into it. Anyone else decide to go? Going to be great like last year-free gatorade-fruit-and t shirts I think, Two mono-lifts and all. Having a little party after wards if possible.peace.

i just spoke with dave tate yesterday. he seems pretty fired up about the entries and the meet.

you should have a blast. while I am not doing the IPA nats this year, i think it should be an excellent meet, and I look forward to trying it next year.

Let me know what you think.

Yeah, I did the meet last year and it was a very well run meet, people that can run a good show should be advertised more, I hate dl'ing at midnight or lifting in a gym that's 100+ when it seems cooler outside and it's 90+ out there. I was suprised how fast he ran it, sit down and you like 6-7 lifters out again it seemed like, that is awesome. What weight are you ? saw something like 300 on up somewhere on here.

i cant wait. this will be my first full meet in equipment. still trying to figure out my squat. i pretty much have my deadlift planned, and my bench i dunno anything could happen, i had my first bench meet with a shirt and hit 500 pretty easy (lol, i opened with 365, went 405, 450, they were all light so i took 500) i think ill open up light like 450, then go 505 for a pr, then 550 if i smoke the 505.

hey speaking of 100 degree gyms, i hope zanesville is air conditioned next year. i plan on lifting there next summer.

see you in columbus, ill be lifting on friday, and ill prolly go on saturday cuase joes lifting then. and i may go sunday too, i dunno yet

I am completely fired up. I train in my garage down in Florida -- there can't be anything hotter than this. Hell, I haven;t seen any snow in over 4 years.

 

[DBCooper]

Yeah liftbig, Joe told me you lifted well out there. and 1-dawg it should be nice cool weather up here by then, better bring some warm-ups or sweats.Remember first attempt is to stay in the meet - second attempt a pr or close to one if your going for a total and third attempt is the ball's to the wall-get crazy and go for it lift.
