Well before I do the write up lets summarize and say it was a good meet although I had a LOT MORE in me. I made some miscalculations and I’m happy to be walking away from the meet.
* Totaled 2150 which blew away the long standing APA 242 Drug Tested World Record total by 130lbs
* Best Lifter of Meet by formula
* Personal Record in Bench by 20lbs and Deadlift by 5lbs, and the squat would have been 50lbs if I was ¼” lower according to judges(???)
On to the good stuff.
This meet was very challenging for me. I did not have as much weight to cut (although I did it perfectly weighing in at 241.5 for the 3rd time straight) as the last time so I did not put a solid effort into the recomp. Couldn’t stay hydrated and was cramping and ended up throwing up before the deadlift. The meet went till 6pm and besides a light breakfast all I relied on during the day was a pbj, amino’s, and fruit. Couldn’t get much down at breakfast. I was definetly running on gas at the end of the meet.
SQUAT
This was the most challenging event for most at this meet as the judging was super strict. Only the raw lifters were able to get 3 whites by being able to get as deep as they were asking. Most squatters only got one lift in and I think one of the judges handed out less than 5 white lights out of the 30+lifts in my flight. It was crazy. Anyway they told me I was ¼” high, although a well respected judge in the audience told me there was no doubt about my lift, along with a lot of footage from some different angles that showed the same. They did pass several lifts that were higher than mine (including someone else that did 855) but mine was for a record attempt so I can’t blame them. I should have just stuffed it knowing they would be extra critical on mine. I knew what was going on and I didn’t sink it deep enough so I take responsibility for missing.
805 good
855 easy but miss
Bench
575 ugly but easy (did bench with bar not centered)
635 dropped on face. Shirt was to jacked for weight and rolled wrist trying to touch but rolled way to far. I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever do that again. My elbow is tweaked something fierce as well.
650 (might have been 655). Yes I came back and hit it!
A little puking before warmups as well as nearly passing out when I tried to pull some reps with 1+2 plates on bar. Stuck to singles after that.
Deadlift
640…uhhh speed pull maybe LOL
695 caught hand on suit and bar ripped me up something fierce when I lost it. Was bleeding all over the place.
695 taped up and a nice easy pull that felt like an opener
2300 is on the way.
