they cancelled my meet!!!!!!!

[k1401]

I don't know what to do. I'm so depressed right now.
I was planning on competing in my first bench meet this Sat.
I got a call tonight saying that they had to cancel it because not enough people registered.
I've been taking it easy all week started dropping weight, getting mentally prepared, now I'm fucked.

Sorry for the rant, had to get it out!

Have your own meet at the gym. Prep for it just like it was the actual meet. Use your gear and get three people to judge you. Try to get those PR's anyway.

there aren't too many meets in my area, so i do pretty much what screwball said...i snag a few friends. weigh in the night before and have a few people watch me and lift away. of course this isnt like a meet, but u do what u gotta do. that sucks it got cancelled. i witnessed a meet a few days ago and there were alot more chairs than people and only a handful of lifters.

dude i am sorry to hear that shit,you busted your ass to prep for this contest too.like they said,go ahead and throw your shirt on and max out .there will be other meets to scope out,you are still a winner man,cause you worked hard for this meet.......

[The mann]

well chear up man,no big deal.....go ahead and max out and see where you are.the contest intensity might not be there but go for it to test yourself.pick another one and prep for it.....

Sorry to hear about the cancellation. It is a bitch to train so
hard for something, be ready and then be told its not going
to happen.

 

[Arioch]

I agree with everybody else. It sucks, and it is a good time to check your progress. Time to max out.

if your well rested and have been preparing just go ahead and have your own "mini meet" at the gym with your friends. Sorry to hear they cancelled the other ones, BUT another will role round and then you'll know how you'll do for that one. Get some of your friends to compete too so you can have some competition you always do better that way, i know I do.

Thanks for the support guys.
Looks like I'm gonna shirt up and max anyway.

I lift alone so I'll be competing against myself, but thanks for the suggestion.
