Chops Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Wow. Those were some battles. Looks like tough competition. I am hell bent on entering the Maine state championships in March. I am going to try to drop weight. Go in under 185. It will be my first time pulling and there is no novice class, so I will likely get my ass handed to me twice and limp home, but it should be fun. What else do you do to prep? Quote COC 1&2 first try 07.04.14 COC 2.5 08.08.14 MM0 in 2014 11.07.14 MM1 in 2015

What else do you do to prep? One thing I would stress to a huge degree is to find an experienced puller to show you good technique. Pulling against open class pullers as a newbie has resulted in more than the fair share of broken arms. I doubt you would want to be out of grip for a few months while a spiral fracture heals.

Be smart. Thank you, I will. It is mostly my goal to make some friends to train with. I'm pretty rural and am having a hard time finding someone local. I think I can keep safe and avoid the shoulder forward positions. One thing worrying me is that I have noted in results in local Maine tournaments that AWers that have amature tourney wins and are considered "pro" routinely compete at the lower amature classes. This just happened at the Maine WINTER WARM UP. No novice class, and pros dominating the amature class! Worst case scenario I bail on competing and try to find some training partners while I am there. Quote COC 1&2 first try 07.04.14 COC 2.5 08.08.14 MM0 in 2014 11.07.14 MM1 in 2015
