Get your coffee and get ready for a long story. Got down to Orlando for
single ply nats (WPC)found
the site, it was at a fitness expo ay the convention center. Weighed in at
223, pleased about that. #Was told that lifting would begin at 9. Got
there at 8 and security would not let us in til9, bad communications all the
way around. Lifting delayed by an hour and we had to be out by 6pm. We had
three flights and a lot of lifters. I was in flight C so started to get
suit on mid way thru flight b lifting. Suit on and I was advised no Velcro
in single ply which meant both squat suit and bench shirt were not legal.
Talk about sheer p[anic and head screwed up!! Got my poly suit on that I
would wear in deadlifting and dropped my opener from 440 to 330. Finally
got my head straight hit opener and second (385). Asked for 434 on third
came out of hole and started to slow down, it was a real grunter all the way
up but hit it. According to rules I could open raw in bench but would have
to have a legal shirt for other 2.
Hit 275 and missed next two at 303. Deads hit 375 and second at 424. That
was another real grunter!! To add to all of the drama my helper found out
after squats that his mother had a heart attack and he vanished until the
after deads were over. There was so much going on judo karate, bodybuilding
cheerleading arm wrestling just to name a few it was almost impossible to
hear our announcer ref lifting order. Said all that to say I managed to
take first and set 4 world records. Now it nis training for worlds in Nov. Not bad for a 62 yr old that cant remember his name.
