brian bombed!!!

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Sorry to hear Brian, but I think Jay is right that everytime you compete it will be a learning experience that you can use to help you. I pulled 405 in my firt meet, but I was dissapointed with that. I knew I had pulled more in the gym and felt like I had bombed.


Good luck with the 5 bills too!! You'll get it, just stick with your game plan and learn from this experience.


Your 10 year old son only weighs a few lbs less than me!!! I'm freakin 22, lol. Awesome to see him into it so early. If he stays with it he's gonna be a monster in the teen and juniors classes with all that experience and a damn good lifting coach/dad helpin him out. I wish him luck as well.

Sorry to hear about it, but I know you'll get it next time. I feel like shit, I had everything ready to go to the meet. Then Friday afternoon my brother-in-law called and asked if I could help roof their house. They live in Geary and were hit hard by the freeze last month and the roof was leaking. It was just me, him and his dad so I'm glad I helped but I do feel like shit for saying I would be at the meet and then not showing up. Sorry.

About the miss, it happens. You'll get another shot soon and will nail it no doubt. Lots of good lifters say they learn more from bombing than anything else. I know that doesn't help any.

Good luck

Its all good man. That was just a practice run for may. Did you squat or dead at all or was it just bench for you? Anyway nice work.

Bigokie,

No sweat, gotta do what you gotta do. Hope you guys got the roof fixed. And thanks on the condolences. I will smoke it and more the next time.

Grimmer,

WABDL doesn't have squats. Single lift bench or deadlift only. I can't pull shit, so I just enter bench only.

Thanks to all. And I will be back stronger in the future.

Sometimes we have to take a step backwards to go forward. Shit happens. You'll be kickin 500's ass soon.

Brian, for what it's worth, I'm not only impressed with your lifts (bombed or not) but even moreso with your attitude. It's the attitude of a champion; I know you'll learn from this and crush the weight next time around.

I wish one day I get to train with people like you and screwball.

Congrats.

It's all good man I mean I wish I can get 450 with just missing lockout, you know what that means right. GOTTA work on those 4 and 5 board presses. I know myself I have to. Either way in MAY you'll have that record. Until you meet some guys from this board you really never know how BIG they really are. I mean behind a keyboard you can be huge or small. And 220+ is not small. Your son is seriously gonna push some weights. Although I thought it wasn't safe for a child under 13 to start lifting due to growth plates, it can stunt your growth i've heard. That's why I didn't let my lil bro start til after 14 and my cuz is messin round right now. IF that 185 went up easy for him he could've easily done 205.

Lifting weights will not stunt your growth-- I still don't know where that stupid myth got started.
