Thanks, Djukac and Kogba.

Son Light Power Meet, Saturday June 18, 2011.

Weighed in at 271.5, then we went and got breakfast and had a meat lovers omelet yum yum. Went back to meet sight and talked to other lifters until the first flight. Then warmed up.

Opener 350 felt light.

Second 375 felt good

Third 400 missed

I gave 400 a real good ride but not being able to work much with it the last 2 months really showed.

Deadlift-time to save a little face.

Opener 450 felt ok

Second 475 felt better

Third 500 felt great for 500.

Fourth 520 Abit of a grinder but got ok.

Had a riot deadlifting, it is such a fire up lift. I might have been good for 530, but I was happy with 520. Especially since being in the accident 3 months ago.

I need to thank Steve Munford for letting me ride to the meet with him. Also need to thank Steve W, Rachel and Paxson for helping me and hanging out with me at the meet. Here are my bench Vids.
