John Beatty Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) A little disappointed overall, but ok for the first one in 10 years or so. Wasn't paying close attention in warmups on the squat, and saw 5 plates, so thought I'd knock out my last w/u. No wraps, straps down on my crappy warmup suit & realized about 1/3 of the way up that there were 100's on the inside, and my easy 495 was 605. Had to have it assisted up. Dropped my opener a little, got all 3 squats for 638. Lifted my hips a little on bench 1, so re took my opener & got it, then got 439 (easily). Had 15-20 more I'm sure. Happy with that since I hadn't paused (long) in years. Deads were a big let down. The crap suit (my Metal was a horrible fit & had to go back) was pulling me out of line, and I had my hips WAY up on pull 1. Still went easy. #2 650, got my hips in place & pulled it easy. Made a big jump to 710, felt like it would go if I got my hips & back straight. Didn't. Came up about 3" & stopped. 1730ish total. So just ok. Changing training & will have Metal suit fit properly for the next one, but debating nats this year.

cwdutton Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Strong lifts John! Was this in the 242 bwt class? Get more work in those suits and you got an easy 100lbs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Beatty Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thanks, guys. It was the 275's, but I weighed in at 250, with jeans, shoes, wallet & car keys on me. I don't diet. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have the same issue with diet John! HAHA...... I would like to drop about 12 lbs though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueviper42 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I was feeling pretty good after getting a PR on squats today, then I read this and see "my easy 495..." One of these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) I think the thing that kinda bothered me was I've squatted & DL'd more than those numbers with just a belt & wraps on the squat & belt & chalk on the DL. And only benched 10lbs less in a T shirt. Edited February 10, 2010 by John Beatty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
