My Tulsa Meet Results...

Thanks Project, Im anxious to see the pics.

Its funny how when you watch the vids, what seems like a 5minute lift is only a split second.

The clips that blow my mind(and hopefully you got close to the same angle)is Bmonsters benches....His opener was an absolute smoke show. Im wanting to slow down my video to see how fast the push actually is. It looked incredible, as well his 550attempt.

Watching his clips has got me motivated on my bench.

Sheesh, a 500lb bench would do wonders for my total

later..

You and me both brotha...still not sure how my third went up. I haven't had a bench PR in training in MONTHS.

Congrats on a great meet VDOP!

Hannibal-

I got a kick out of the video where you come up laughing on the bench onyour 3rd attempt. It looked strong, were you not expecting it?

Congrats to you too by the way.

Like I said in some other posts I haven't had a Bench PR in what seems like forever. All my PR numbers are from before my last meet...so I wasn't expecting to be stronger at this meet. I was laughing in spite of myself.

When he gave the press command (finally, must have been a 2 sec pause)....I started to press and the damn thing started moving. I was like, "holy shit". Then it slowed towards the lockout, and I was going to be pissed if I missed it right at the top. Somehow managed to lock it out, and couldn't help but laugh.

congrats vdop and hannibal.

vdop, i moved away from good mornings for a whole training cycle, and now back to them. i think they are definitely the best ME day exercise.

hannibal, drop me an email sometime. i cant figure out what is keeping your squat back. didnt you do 545 + green bands for a single off a box?

Why yes I did...and in that meet, Nov., I missed 600...TWICE. In this meet I didn't do ANY circa max phase or any "peaking" phase...and made 575 relatively easily.

I KNOW I CAN SQUAT MORE. I will email you and hopefully we can figure this riddle out.

Hannibal, just giving you a head's up. Mike Smith (who was calling "Press") reads this board.

And VDOP, big congrats. You are insanely fast on your squats. I would love for you to come down as often as you can in the future to squat with us. Maybe your deadlifting prowess can rub off on me. I have managed to get my meager pull up to 545 tho, so if you hear some fat boy breathing hard behind you, it is me. . . get to work pulling, hoss. tee hee.

You did very well at this meet and congratulations. And thanks for the props on my benches. The form was terrible but the strength was there. If I can get the form down properly, 600+ is right around the corner.

Oh I wasn't complaining...the judging was great. It just seemed like an eternity. When I watched the vid of it I realized there was nothing different about the press command that time. Probably just seemed like forever since I wasn't sure if the damn weight was going to move....but it did

Was kinda dissapointed In my DL this meet. Now I feel my bench and DL are needing serious work. I think I may change to sumo for a cycle and see what results I get.

Also I want to start making it over to Tulsa at least 2x a month to train with you guys. I think the extra motivation will pick me up a notch.

Talk to you later..
