Tbone Strength Meet WriteUp

A very well ran meet+a bunch of great lifters+a great day on my part= A new SHW bench record!

Warmups went as follows:
Barx5
135x5
225x3
3board
315x1
405x1
Threw on Shirt
455x1

Warm ups went very easy and I mean very easy. Getting a little bit of extra rest really helped. I was very over trained and I needed that extra rest in order to get myself fully in check. Before lifting started I was nervous as all could be, not necessarily because of the weight I was attempting, just because I was competing for the first time since my disaster at Nationals. I had to drink orange juice in order to settle my nerves and settle my stomach.

After I warmed up I found out I was 8th out of 10 lifters to lift.

485 Smoke Show

512 Smoke Show and a new American Record

529 Brought it a little bit high, I pressed it but apparently my right arm wasn't locked out fully so it was a missed lift.

I won the following titles at this meet

Junior Men 20-23 SHW 1st Place
Best Male Junior Lifter
Best Overall Male Lifter
Heaviest Bench Press Lifted at 512

I had a great time at this meet. I have a bunch of hardware to show for it. I have to give a huge thank you to Steve for helping me with my shirt and my warming up and Dann for video taping the event and for just helping out overall.

The plan is to now do the AAU Worlds December 6th in Laughlin, Nevada. Goal for that meet is to get the 551 I wasn't able to attempt at the Monster Bench Meet. I also plan on working with my smaller Super Katana that I recently bought. The ultimate goal would be to bench 584 for me personally but who knows. Now I'll do some light raw work this week and hit it raw for a week or two, then back in the shirt!

BOYB!!!!
