Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Well I was really expecting more today that I got. I opened 275 and threw it up. Had intentions on going to 300 for my second but chiskened out and went 295, it was easy as well. I then went to 310 expection to get it east too and it just didn't happen. 295 is the most I have ever got in a meet but I felt like I should have gotten 310 or better. I don't know what happened to me. Just couldn't push the weight, no excuses other than the fact that I'm still a weak ass. Oh well, I will just have to hit it harder for the next meet. I still won my class, bot only because there wasn't any other 132 pound lifters there!! Never is though.
Meet didn't go as well as planed.

Jesus man, 295 at 132lbs is nothing to be ashamed of!
Just use a bad meet to boost your motivation, I know we all have had meets we are not so proud of.
Now is the time though to consider if your current training program is paying off how you want. If not, time to make changes.
Congrats again on the PR!

I'm about 5'8
I'm a really skinny guy.
Thanks for the support. Yea, it wasn't the BESt meet I have had but all in all I got the weight I knew I could get I just hate missing!! I feel like I have embrassed myself in front of everyone.
Little guys never seem to get a whole lot of attention. Its the BIG guys who are pushing the BIG weights that gets the crowds. And yes, its extremly impressive to see someone bench over 500 pounds but what people don't understand is guys in the lower classes had busted there asses just as hard as the big guys and some are pushing more weight per pound than the big boys. I think I'm going to leave the competions out for a year at least and try to put on about 25 to 30 pounds and see if I can get up to 400 that way. I will never hit the 400 mark at 132 I don't believe. I don't think my body could handle that kinda weight.
