Thanks guys. Big thanks to BI and POB for GREAT advice. You guys totally called it. I actually feel like I had a decent amount more left in me. It really does feel different to get the adrenaline going and have people rooting you on.
I think I am hooked. This is a full meet in June by RPS that is local. I am thinking I will go for it as well. I would like to do all 3 lifts but I need to heal up this hip flexor which is making squatting hard. I guess I will tell in time.
Big thanks again for the support and advice.
Glad to hear you're hooked and great to hear your pulls went well (I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was sure it would go well). There is always another meet so you'll have an oppurtunity to pull even more so don't feel disapointed with your first meet. You blew away your PR and this was in a meet and not in a gym.
Now, you need to get that hip better. You don't want to train on it continually while injured b/c it could become chronic or worse. I would look for a meet farther out than a month away.
Nice pics. One thing I didn't mention and it's worth mentioning is.... when you pull put J&J baby powder on your legs and it will help the bar travel up your legs. It's also completely legal in meets. Make sure it's Johnson & Johnson b/c there is a difference.
You may want to try putting a topical analgesic on the hip to help loosen it up. I use "screaming toast" for that reason.
