I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING
New member
Well, I messed up my preparations for this meet. Both dietwise and training. I ended up weighing in lighter than I have been in a few years. It was pretty stupid on my part, but a mistake I won't make again. When I did my first meet, which was unsanctioned, a few months ago I had energy for the squats and bench and was dead by the time we pulled. THis time I was smart enough to take in some food and gatorade during the meet to give me energy for the deads, but I was so depleted coming in I felt weak on squats and bench. Go figure. Here's how things went:
weigh-in- 141.2 LMAO!! I am tiny. I am just going to eat until I can't eat anymore and then eat again. No more dieting for a meet until it means something.
Squats- during my last warmup, I threw the straps up. I came down ith only 275 on the bar and just fell forward. That damn suit. So, I bang up my knee and it's bleeding too and meanwhile I have about 2 minutes to get ready for my opener. So, I go over and wrap my bloodied knee as well as the good one and smoke 315 deep. Followed that with 330...which was supposed to be my opener. Than I had nothing left for 350...miss. That was well below my gym PR, but I was on the board and happy.
Bench-opened 230. Still feelin weak. Good pause, came up strong but the bar lowered an inch before I powered it to lockout. No good. Repeated the lift and it was good. Then couldn't lockout 245.
So after squat and bench I was 3 for 6 and had only gotten my planed openers. Again, dissapointed because both were well below PR's, but happy to be on the board.
Subtotal- 560 ewwww
Deads- My lift. I was getting a second wind(or should I say first) when the bar hit the floor. I wanted this. This is my lift. I fooked up the other lifts, so I was going to go out strong.
Opened 430-smoked
second 450- no problem
third 465- over the knees, but no lockout.
So, both good attempts were 3xbw and the second matched my PR and at a lighter bodyweight. After the long day this felt good. I know I have that 465 in me fresh and will prove it at a dead only in 4 weeks.
So I totaled 1,010 in the 148's. I was the only 148er in my class, so I got first, lol. I definitely learned from this meet. It wll make me stronger. Even though you don't have your bet day, it can open your eyes and teach you what you have to do better for next time. It was a fun day. Props to Deciever too.
