8-7-14
217.3 this morning

1hr walk today with sweats and 2 workout shirts

Was feeling pretty good about myself till I moved my scale tried 6 different sports in my house got as high as 219 and as low as 215 but average was 217 on the concrete and tile so I trust that

Now I'm not sure what to do afraid my scale may suck so should I eat dinner and keep drink or what?

Thanks dmax

 

[Sean1332]

When do you weigh in?

 

[Duramaxhd]

Tomorrow 10am

 

[Duramaxhd]

Do I have anything to worry about or am I just panicking?

 

[herderdude]

I have never once ran into a powerlifting scale that was heavy at weigh ins. As long as you're below 222.5 at bedtime, you're golden. I know now is the time where you overthink everything, but fear not, you're just fine. Keep eating, keep drinking. I wouldn't recommend fasting 18hrs out unless your scale read 229, rather than 219.

 

[Sean1332]

^Boom

Have food man. If you're over in the morning, take an Epsom bath

 

[bolt10]

Good luck at the meet.

 

[Duramaxhd]

Thanks guys I tend to over think things

I am getting super excited to finally have real numbers like guys the whole crew is coming up so I'm going to help them in the morning before I head up to weigh-in after that I'm hitting up the original pancake house lol

 

[herderdude]

[Duramaxhd]

415
460 boom

 

[herderdude]

So 1125? Congrats on posting a total! What are your thoughts on the experience.

 

[Duramaxhd]

1120 I think
It was bad at all but I'm glad the crew was here or it would have been a pain to know who was in line next

Squat
475 I came out on my toes was ****ed from there

Bench
First lost my air
Second I had no leg drive at all

Very happy thou had a great time. very pissed at my bench proformance

 

[Duramaxhd]

First place raw 220 Upa-AD woot

 

[capo180]

Good work man, at least you got the experience, i think for the first meet its probably a lot to get used to lifting on someone elses command, and just the timing. and doing 9 maximal effort attempts. Got a total, and you'll kill it next time.

 

[Sean1332]

Congrats on the first meet brother

 

[rob112]

Congrats. You is a powerlifter now!

 

[Duramaxhd]

Thanks man sorry to disappoint u thou on the 1200 really thought I had it going in

 

[rob112]

Thanks man sorry to disappoint u thou on the 1200 really thought I had it going in

Hey man, I was just messing around. Not that I don't think you will get that in the future! Im happy for you getting your feet wet.

 

[Duramaxhd]

O any my diet has gone way out the window the past 2 days be back on it in the am.. Welcome back carbs lol

Rob I just take things pretty hard there is no reason I couldn't have at least got the 255 I'm just so pissed at myself

Jayson said now benching for me tomorrow but I'm going to make him let me I see no reason why I can't

Decided I'm sticking with 220 weight class think it's more practical for me so I want to hover between 220 and 230 at all times

 

[LizKing531]

Good job man! Got that first out of the way (with good numbers too).only up from here

 

[Duramaxhd]

Thanks king
I owe a lot to the crew and a lot to my AM crew such great teachers here so much knowledge all u guys contributed in some way shape or form and I thank u guys for that
