Its actually what i expected. I do horibably there. And problem is since i do these once every year and a half or so i am stuck with a shity ass total! It would be ok if i did these every few months like a bench meet, i can come back and redem myself. Hell i have had some shitty ass bench meets too. But it doesnt get me too down cause i come back in 2 months and do it again.
SQUATS: They called my name and i wasnt ready. So i passed my 1 st attempt. Second attept i took my original opener of 705lbs. Good. Then i tell them 737 and i got in the back and told Jimmie Dean i was going to do that then go 766. Came out and did the 737 but was called on depth. Guess what that was it! I toally forgot when i told them that it was my last attempt. I may have not jumped to far but would have did 750 at least. My wife who is a judge said she thought i was high too. So i fucked my self. It felt light , just high!
Bench: 562 good, 600 good, 622 missed lockout. I forgot to latch my belt it may have helped up but may have caused problems coming down. So catch 22. BUT i set a new APF Florida State Bench press record! The good point of the meet for me.
Deads: warmep real slow and cautiously. I did what i said and droped my opener from 551 to 534lbs. Pulled 495 in the back nice. Went out 534 no problem. Next attempt 562. I dont remeber much but i know i tried so hard to show control that after i locked out i leaned back so far my knees re broke. No freakin lift. Last attempt. i want in it. Didnt really get a good pull from the start did try hard or should i say long. Went up then down. So i ended up 4 out of 9. You cant win or even come close to reaching your potential going 4 out of 9. Hey at least i did better then in 2000. I did 3 out of 9.
No excuses at all. Every thing i was red lighted on accept the 622 i lifted. Just lacked the technical to get the whites. If i would have just got my 2nd squat and second i deadlift i would have totlaed around 1900 and got elite.
But i have no injuries and feel good! Physically and mentally! The soonest i can three lift again will be the same meet next year. Its bench only for me till then. I have the WPO BB for cash that is in Nov, and i plan on finishing top 3 and going to the Arnold. That is the plan and that is the goal and focus.
The APF bench Nationals and WPO BB qualifier was today my buddy Ron weighed 179 and bombed for the 4th meet in a row. But there was some big benches there. Carpenter, is going Gallagher bombed, Neally did 611, didnt stay for the awards.
Decided to do my Buddy Rick Lawerences meet this coming SAT. He is going to the WPO, he is an awesome bencher. Anyway wanna see what i could bench without squatting first. Maybe less maybe more but after this it is off season. Anyway that was ti for me.
