Meet report:
Weighed in at 175 early Sunday (strangely enough no drug test Mark?) so got some breakfast and tried to calm my nerves a little. I pretty much felt like I was going to hurl all over the place up until my first squat attempt, but calmed down pretty decently after hitting my opener with plenty of room to spare. I forgot to write down all my attempts so this is purely by memory, so these might be plus or minus a couple pounds:
Squat:
1st attempt - 107.5kg/236.5lbs - super easy, set the mood and got my jitters out
2nd attempt - 112.5kg/247.5lbs - still smooth
3rd attempt - 122.5kg/269.5lbs - a grinder but still good for a 24.5lb PR
It had to have been a good 4 hours between my last squat and my first bench, as there were a ton of bench-only guys that went first.
Bench:
1st attempt: 95kg/209lbs - easy lift but started lowering the bar before I was given the command, no lift
2nd attempt: 97.5kg/214.5lbs - not as easy as it should have been as this is about 20lbs under my max, but no major stalling
3rd attempt: 102.5kg/225.5lbs - rushed ahead of the "press" command and realized it about 4 inches off the chest, stopped pushing as soon as I realized what I'd done, but by then I ended up stalling and missing anyway, so I blew the 3rd attempt on two levels
I was worried about how my deads would go with a broken thumb and my lower back acting up a little bit around the usual SI joint injury, but it went well.
Deadlift:
1st attempt: 140kg/308lbs - smoked it
2nd attempt: 150kg/330lbs - easy, front judge warned me for not putting it down gently enough I guess, still it passed so who cares
3rd attempt: 160kg/352lbs - definitely a max attempt but no stalling, also a 17lb PR
836lb total, nothing special for sure but at least now I have some official lifts. Next time will definitely be better.
