crazy weekend to say the least...weigh ins were supposed to start @ 5pm on Sat, until 6pm, or else you would have to weigh in morning of. By 1:15pm I was down to exactly 182.4 by just wearing my sauna suit for 3 hours while doing regular chores around the house. I was getting ready to take a quick hot bath and get me down to around 178-179 lbs, when I got a call from the wife about a minor fender bender. Just a light bumper to bumper in what was turning into annoying driving conditions because of the snowfall. Needless to say once everything was said and done, it was closing in on 4pm, and I had no desire to drive over 160 miles, twoway, just for weigh ins...was just happy the wife was ok.
long story short, stuffed my face, and weighed in at 196.2 lbs fully clothed minus shoes, Sunday morning...and felt like absolute ****, lol.
Was also not a fan of their warm up area...way too tight, way too many lifters. 1st time at this location for the Fed, and you could tell. Was not as well organized as the last one I went to.
Squats w Wraps
Opener - 435 lbs - fast and easy....3 reds, jumped the down command for the 2nd straight meet, lol.
2nd - 450 lbs - 3 whites, not as smooth as I would have liked.
3rd - 475 lbs - 3 whites, hit a sticking point, but no real grinding, probably should have bumped it up, but happy overall.
Bench
Opener - 295 lbs - 3 whites
2nd - 315 lbs - 2 whites, 1 red. Left side judge was consistently giving reds for ass off bench for anyone who drove their hips back...terrible. Oh well, still got it.
3rd - 335 lbs - 3 reds, couldn't get it past my sticking point.
Deadlifts
Opener - 505 lbs, 3 whites, easy money.
2nd - 545 lbs, 3 whites, surprised how well this moved.
3rd - 575 lbs, 3 whites, nice grinder, but felt faster than my 560 last meet.
7/9 for
1,365 lbs was good enough for 1st place in Open Raw Classic.
^^^ my 575 pull...still waiting for Squat and Bench vids to be uploaded by the fed.
