[The mann]

jay,i'm not sure yet,i'll decide around 2 weeks out.you think i should move up to 198?i could do either right now,i'm just looking for a PR .......cubanito...my name is Rich Daniels......

If you feel good at 181 and can get a new PR do your class. I wouldnt do 198 unless i were over 10lbs too much. But if you want to really up your bench go up in weight for a little bit. Theres noting that says you can go back to 181lbs. If i were you i would be off season weight of 200plus. You can carry it. It slike Bodybuilding you gain weight in th eoff season so you can pack on more mass then you would if you stayed under 8 % all year. YOu can gain strength without gaining size i am not saying that, but you can gain strength a little faster with added mass. Consider what i am doing. I am going to creep up to 260lbs in the next week or so then slowly come down to to 250lbs then weigh in at 242 then lift at 250plus. But regardless of my weight now or then or june, come Sept for the bench bash i will be 220lbs. BUt will be stronger cause i bulked up for size. Try it you will be a force at 198 too!

 

[The mann]

good answer bro,i'll start bringing it up and if the gains are good maybe i'll just hang out at the heavier weight,we'll determine that later.....i put it on prettyeasy and fast an i would like to do a PR more than anything right now........thanks coach.........

Jason I just asked my parents, remember I'm only 17, and they said I can do two things one go up with them or two find it on my own so I'm taking the family to the meet. hey just more support right. Well I'll be seeing all of you there then Mar 16.

 

[powerlifterjay]

Dude bring the family. They will see how fun it is and they'll really love it if you were lifting in it. I am trying to get my grandparents to come to this one. Maybe not this one, there is beer and i usually get a good buzz before its all over with! St Pete is fun.

 

[Cubanito17]

Hey all of you do understand that I'm not lifting in this one right????? I would if I had time to prepare, but that same week Mar. 13 I have a HS meet and then that same day would be the day I'd have to go up and weigh in correct and then go back up on Saturday. Plus I won't get enough rest and I know how it is now when I rest enough for a max I feel stronger instead of so much heavy lifting on my nervous system. Sorry guys I'll be lifting next year when i'm 18 and alot stronger in most of the FL meets. On top of that I won't be doing any clean&jerks which I hate although i know they do show complete body power.
