Time to get your grind on big boy!! Congrats on the PR!!

**jimbuick** · 08-03-2013, 07:41 PM

They just misloaded his second attempt. Way too much weight.

dicks

**Rodja** · 08-03-2013, 07:58 PM

Well, I got my opener, but the misload fiasco killed my CNS. I'm pretty fumed here right now.

Total was ~1607 at 606/451/550.

Back to the drawing board...

**rob112** · 08-03-2013, 08:14 PM

I was thinking that if you tried to pull that thinking it was a lighter weight that could **** everything up. I'd be pissed to. There is always next meet though.

On the bright side you got that bench PR to be happy about.

**napalm** · 08-03-2013, 08:16 PM

That's a total clusterfck, almost on par w what happened to Alex at nats. The APF needs to take a hard look at itself...

**napalm** · 08-03-2013, 08:17 PM

Great job rodja, you fought through all the bulls.hit...

**Sean1332** · 08-03-2013, 08:27 PM

Good job Rodja. That's an impressive total nonetheless

**herderdude** · 08-03-2013, 08:36 PM

Yep, you took home that bench PR and you still got yourself a total. That's some serious bull**** that they misloaded your deadlift.

**puccah8808** · 08-03-2013, 08:45 PM

Great job! Proud of you!

**mcc23** · 08-03-2013, 08:46 PM

Nice job Rodja

**AZMIDLYF** · 08-03-2013, 11:21 PM

Is that total better than your last meet? If so then you are going in the right direction and you still pocketed a nice PR on the way. The war rages on big R!!

It was ~26# lighter. The reason I picked 578 as my second attempt on deads was to beat my previous total and to meet PR. Obviously, that didn't go as planned.

**AZMIDLYF** · 08-03-2013, 11:35 PM

You finished the meet and came away with a PR in the process...I would call that a solid day. Now you have more goals to put up on the board.

Only 26# lighter taking one squat and getting ****ed on deadlift is not bad at all! Are we gonna get to see video of your big benching?

I told him while we were there that there is no way he didn't get stronger.

He smoked that 606, even with the ****ed back, his bench was way stronger, and his DL was moving easy until that royal **** up.

Dibs on being her handler.

**bolt10** · 08-04-2013, 09:57 AM

Upsetting to hear about that DL issue, but overall you got some positives out of the meet. :thumbsup

****ing sick bench!

**herderdude** · 08-04-2013, 03:15 PM

Your benching has improved so much, and your squat and pull looked like warmup reps. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1700 next time out.

It was supposed to be a 28# jump to secure both a deadlift and meet PR. However, I couldn't budge the damn weight from the floor. You can see the flex in the bar and it was not a lack of effort or even strength.

Thats what I meant. As soon as it didn't budge it looks like you shot a WTF look at the plates and then to someone on your left lol

Awesome lifts though man. Especially on bench
