Last Night In Shirt Before St Pete!

[powerlifterjay]

Well hell! It was one of those nights! I felt strong, but now am more confused. went like this:

warmups
315x 10
405x8
500x2
shirt 500x1
565 x1 no touch
585x1 got within 1/2 inch
565 again. ??? no touch!

I used my loose ass shirt that i knew 565 would touch. Everyting went up very strong. BUt couldnt get 585 down. My body felt contorted at the bottom. This shirt gives me very little off the bottom. First tiem used this way and for some reason nothing would fall. So i ask what do i do?

I swore i would open light. I need to for my grandparents coming. My wife wants me to also. But i might need 600 to touch with my loose one. So were would that leave me on my second attempt? 625? Dam i would love to just bang out all 3 lifts. As i write this i might just open with my existing state record of 585lbs and just fight that mother down all the way. I am 7lbs over the 242 limit so i may be lighter which could help. But if i bomb this will be the last meet i bomb cause next meet i will hav esome tri power ready for bigger weight. Fuck i feel like Halbert sized my shirts for me! So as of now were lifting 585 1st 615 or 620 2nd 630 ish 3rd if 3rd goes 660 4th new world record! Ya right! If everything goes to plan this mission will require 3 shirts and my own spotters. And lots of shirt manipulation!

whats up dude i just pM'd you. that suck but no worries you'll blow everything up at the meet.

 

[FREAK19]

yo jay how can you have your own spotters up there? that sucks that you couldnt get the weight down. but im sure it will at the meet. and ill be one of your spotters if you need me!!!!!!!!!!

 

[powerlifterjay]

Freak , when i go up to the platform i will just replace the 2 guys on the ends with my guys. Simple. I trust my crew and as dangerous and unpredictable as my shirt is i need guys who (like you ) who caN think fast and have the strength to stop the weight if it falls toward my face. BUut also know i will give a signal to take it. Sat will be a blast! Bomb or not !

 

[FREAK19]

yeah i cant wait for sat. its gonna be a blast!!!!!!!! hey do you know if they are gonna have flights or what?????? cause if there are then i will be able to spot you. cause its gonna be hard to spot with my shirt on. hey are u gonna stick around for the deadlifts???????

 

[powerlifterjay]

Yes ther e will be flights . talked to them yesterday and so far there are liek 40 pre entries. That means another 30 will show on meet day. Yes i will stick around for deadlifts. I wouldnt leave you like that. Did you get my emailyesterday? Its about the late fee.

 

[Arioch]

I would like to say good luck to you and everyone else competing this weekend. I had hoped to be there to cheer you on, but I am getting killed at work and will be out of town.

Jay, hope you get the record.

 

[FREAK19]

yes jay i did get ur email yesterday and i will tell them, who should i talk too, or should i wait for you to get back from breakfast? man thats alot of people showing up im getting excited! hey jay how are the warmup areas? i mean is there like a tint, some fans cause i heard it might be little hot? or are we gonna be lifting under a tint? you know stuff like that!

 

[jimmydean]

Last year they had it on the deck which is covered but it was cold so they had heaters out there. Hopefully it will be warmer this year. Warmups were on the deck also if I remember correctly.


PLJay!!!! Give me a call Friday so I know what time we're heading out. I'm hitting the pit in the morning before work so I won't be there in the afternoon like we discussed.

 

[powerlifterjay]

Will do bro , but incase i miss you i will be gone all day tommmoorow i will be by your place at about 7:30. Its has to be that early so we can get to st petet and eat and since we are going by phils house we need to leave early. Those two would be late to their own funeral!

Yo freak just get with brian from 54 th ave gym. Or somone close to him. They will hook you up. Glad your excited your gonna rock!
