im only using straps cause of the mishap i had last week tearing the calluses off my hands, im confident i can hold the weight, i just need to let the skin on my hands heal up.
Im upset i missed the 700 cause thats a huge milestone in my eyes especially at 205-210. Im bummed but at the same time i know i had it if it didn't slip so whatever.

It's been a while since ive updated this, ive been putting all my effort into training for a meet i did this weekend, March 16th. My goal for this meet was to post my first elite total. Heres a quick rundown of my day
Weighed in at 207lbs, i tried so hard to gain weight because my weight class is 220, so im very light.
I set my openers conservative, which i always do for several reasons. Set my gear, build confidence, get atleast one lift in so there is no pressure, etc. Squat 628, Bench 479, Deadlift 628, I always set my openers at numbers I can do for a triple.
So warming up for the squat everything was flying up, i felt so strong. My last warmup was 545 and it felt like 315, good note to leave the warmup room on.
Squats
628- felt great, absolutely smoked it, side judge told me it was right at depth, if i cut it any higher ill get red.
661- also felt great, i completely buried this one and it rounded my back over so it was tough getting out of the hole.
705- i stood around wrapped for way too long waiting for the bar to get loaded, the loaders messed up the rack height and screwed me all up. If im wrapped too long im all done, my legs cramp up bad. So i got up about a foot out of the hole and stalled, at this point im pretty pissed after missing this cause i know i have this weight.
So now im warming up for bench and i feel very good. Working my arch and leg drive as good as ever. One of my partners said 225 looked really light, it did for sure. I took 315 after this for a single and it felt ok. Someone had the other warmup bench loaded with what i thought was 350-360 which was my last warmup before putting on my shirt. So i took this and smoked it pretty good but it was way slower than i thought it would be. I got up and said that to my partner and he was like no shit that was 395, lol!!! So that completely changed my confidence in the bench now. Put on my shirt and did 425 off a two board and thats it.
Bench
478 -smoked nuff said
501 -same
523 -ironically my lockout is my strongest point and i missed this weight cause i got stuck on the last two inches?!?!?!?! Everyone said i slid on the bench, but i didnt feel it.
Deadlift warmups now, not much to say here, my best lift by far and my favorite. I did 225 x 3, 315 x 3, 405 x 2, 475x1, 545x1 for my warmups. I feel ok, im starting to get tired though and i keep yaughning, not a good sign.
Deadlifts
628 -easy enough, started adding up my numbers and i need my next pull to be 666 to get 1828, 4lbs over elite for 220.
666 -FUCK YA im elite bitches!!! smoked it, i have about 20-30lbs left i think.
3rd attempt - my partners wont tell me, they put in my number and wont let me see it. Everyone is saying its very doable and ill get it, im thinking 685ish. Walk up to the platform, no idea what's on the bar. Set my feet, big air and start fuckin pulling. About an inch from the top my left hand starts slipping, im like fuck noooo, i held on and got it locked out, get the down signal. I look over to the projector, its 705!!! Look over at the lights and i got three whites! I missed 700 with straps in the gym about 4 weeks ago, it just goes to show you how much of this is all in your head.
So i totaled 1867@207 and now im even more driven than before. I am doing the Nationals in June and i will probably go down to 198. If i can keep my numbers the same i will be hard to beat.
