well i made it.. BARELY but i made it
weigh ins from 6 to 7pm, so i arrived at 6 and weighed in right away. I was 199, need to get to 198.25. I brought sweats and extra clothes just incase. So i put on three layers of clothes and jumped in my car with the heat blasting at 91*, seat heater on, and sat for 45mins. It took me about 25mins just to start sweating, i dont think i had much fluid left lol. Went back in and stepped back on the scale, 198.25 on the nose. I felt awesome when i first got to the gym, but that 45mins in my car just to sweat out 3/4 of a pound reeally killed me. i feel like dog shit now and i will be blown away if i move any decent weight tomorrow.
thanks guys ill update this tomorrow, back to eating and guzzling fluids...

Hmm I see... The fluids you guys lost were mostly subcutaneous or from the muscles? I wanna try this for an important beach party, but don't want my muscles to look too flat...

Well i didnt have a great day saturday. I got my weight back up to around 210, felt very strong. Opened with 475 on bench and smoked it. Went to 500 and got that too pretty easily. 525 next and i jumped the press call so no lift. Opened with 640 on deadlift. Setup perfect, started my pull and right above my knees i completely lose my balance forward and put it down. This meet was in a gym inside a really old industrial building, one of those big old brick mills. The floor was literally sagging under the weight lol. Everyone was having the same problem, it was just amplified on my attempts because of the weight. So i figured id try and setup better and be ready for it, and the 640 FLEW off the floor for me so i went 670. Same thing, got it to my knees and lose my balance. I NEVER lose my balance forward when im pulling. At this point im pretty fired up and everyone is pulling for me. Stayed at 670 to get the lift in, i really wanted to get 700 @ 198, i nearly got 710 3 weeks ago in the gym. Heres a video of my last one

everyone was flipping out, i was pumped cause i got it, threw my hands up in victory lol
The side judges gave me red lights! they said it wasnt fully locked out???? looks pretty good to me fuckers. so not only did i bomb out on deads and not get a total, but my back is destroyed right now cause i was fighting the weight as well as trying to keep my balance. oh well, next time... needless to say i am not going back to that venue ever again. im not one for excuses but when the fucking floor gives way to any kind of decent weight what the hell am i supposed to do?

yeah i wouldnt do it, i looked really flat at weigh-ins
lol @ the floor sagging under the weight! thats fuckin annoyin about loosing your balance and also about jumping the call on your bench. What happened squat wise?

it was just a bench/deadlift comp, no squats. jumping the call was my fault im not annoyed just a dumb mistake. but ya, the floor issue was really stupid. i told the meet director if you cant find a decent place to hold the meet dont have it.
ah ok. Yeah I agree, what did he say when you told him that?
