Yeah don't get fcked by a heavy ass scale like I did!
 
SweetLou321 said:
My scale matches the obb scale pretty close. Its the same one brian uses for meets. I may head over there before driving to weight ins to double check. Ill try to be 218ish tho so i have some wiggle room.

Why not weigh in tonight?
 
Currently at 218. My wrist wraps seem to have gotten up and walked out of my gym bag tho. I am double checking my house, they werent at obb.
 
Good luck today bro! Keep us posted!
 
Bombed on squats guys. My opener of 733 was to light. I just couldnt get it down and gased out on both lifts. Went up to 755 for a third and smoked it but they called my for depth. Said i was high. Just wasnt im the cards today.
 
Bummer dude you'll get next time Np your one strong sob and I suspect your going to put up some huge numbers in the future

This^

700 is a lotta damn weight...
 
Thanks guys. I should have opened at 750 and went 800 then 800+. Lesson learned. Never open at the min in your gear, always go a touch over it to have wiggle room.
 
You still doing the other two?
 
Tough luck today man, but you learned for next time and you'll be that much more prepared to post a big total.

Geared lifting is really falling off the map. Sucks.

It just has it's little havens and that's it. When I saw the XPC Finals last year, it seemed like 80% of the lifters came from three or four gyms.
 
I think geared lifting is awsome but as long raw lifters continue to close the gap between the 2 I think it's going to continue be come less and less appealing not to say there aren't great numbers to be had its as geared, just the huge weight gaps aren't there. That's just the way I see it could be wrong only been doing this a year
 
SweetLou321 said:
I can see that. At this rate geared lifting will be dead. Makes it hard for me to keep that fire for it.

Makes me wanna gear up and hit big numbers before it all goes away. At least single ply isn't dying. That stuff has surprisingly good carryover, at least the shirts do for me.
