notbad? . . . lmao, YOU have been your own harshest critic, and you've been playing possum all along.

 

[FLEXjs]

you've been playing possum all along.

Not even close. Did not expect this at all. I was nervous as fuck this morning and just praying I would get my openers.

Did a smidge better than that....

 

[rawdeal]

THAT smidge was worth 2 of these . . . .

Good job ya strong sum' bitch! Kickin' ass 50+ I like it Flex. Not considering that is a badass total at any age. Rock on brother!

 

[searay]

very impressive!!! nice job getting all 9 attempts, very rare accomplishment. what weight class?

 

[FLEXjs]

what weight class?

308.

I usually compete in 275 but since I was recovering from injury and trying to get my lifts back to where they were I ate as much as I could last while. I knew I was going to be over 275 so I weighed in fully clothed and with a belly full of food (had lunch an hour before weigh-in) and weighed in at 289. So probably unfed and unclothed I am low 280s.

Some useless trivia:

I took 3 of the 4 records in RPS (world & state) yesterday. Obviously bench is not mine, but I took Squat, Deadlift and Total.

When PowerliftingWatch updates its site I will have the best total by 10 lbs. Current 1st place total is 1,570. Come at me.

Congrats Flex! I called that 620 months ago Im looking forward to seeing you at NYS championships.
