Wow. Awesome time in Kansas City this past weekend. Drove out there Friday mid day, made weight about 5pm after not eating or drinking since 9pm thursday. I had to chew a LOT of gum; my jaw was sore saturday lol. Weighed in at a dehydrated 193.4!!!
After getting my gear checked out, hit a taco bell for a big chicken burrito as we left the gym on the way to the hotel. Smashed that & about 32oz water in maybe 5 min. We checked in & headed down to the plaza district for some awesome KC bbq; drank about 24 oz water omw there, another 24oz w/ my huge dinner, finished off the gf's food too, 16oz of iced tea after w/ 16oz water at a coffee shop, was still thirsty about 10 min later. Had some epic cupcakes. Smashing bananas, gatorade & such right up to bed time. Bet I was every bit of 203 on the platform saturday :yup:
Ran the same cocktail all day at the meet I used last time, to great effect - gatorade, bcaas, taurine, Flashover before every warmup round. Some bananas, cliff bars, almonds, & isolate spread thru the day (despite DMAA/adrenaline killing my appetite) to help sustain me, & tons of water.
Wasn't nearly as strong as the last meet, but I've cut 10lbs & lifting without any PEDs, currently, so I'm pretty happy with my performance.
Men's 20-23, 198lb Weightclass, Modern Raw (Belt, Wrist Wraps, Non-Supportive Knee Sleeves)
Squat 379, 407, & 424 (Re-set USPA IL State Record)
Bench 248, 270X NO LIFT (butt popped up), 270X NO LIFT (failed)
Deadlift 457, 501, 534 (Competition PR)
1st in my class....which amazingly was only me! So while cutting for it turned out to be useless as far as being more competitive, it earned me the USPA state record for IL....which turns out to be a remarkably low 402.4lbs. Or at least, it was :biglaugh:
