The warm-up room is a lonely lonely place
Shitty deal bro, but on the lighter side tell us a story about how the titty thing goes later.****ing terrible. I cut 10lbs to make 181 in the Raw Classic and finished with an embarrassing 920 total. Keep in mind I'm not on anything, but still...
The only number I was ok with was a 420 deadlift. I was stapled on bench once then got it but was red lighted, which I thought was good but I guess not. As far as everything else goes, everyone else was there with a team and I was the only guy solo. Anyone thinking about competing, don't go unless you've a support group with you. You'll be pushed out of the way for warm-ups and pretty much everything else.
This beer I'm drinking is the highlight of my night. Until I pop a titty in my mouth later that is

What was your squat and bench?
And the trick to the warm up area is to just get under the bar. **** everyone else and their needs. Just get under the bar, cut in line, take plates. Whatever you have to do.

Ok, so after a couple days of good sleep, food, and hydration, I feel better about things. I was irritable, tired, and pissed off Sat. But looking back at it, maybe my expectations were just too high for a first meet, coming off surgery, and having only trained for 3 months. My good lifts were 310 squat, 210 bench, and 420 deadlift for a 940 total...not 920. Sorry my brain wasn't functioning very well the other night. The 210 bench is the one I'm most pissed about. I've hit 240 plenty in the gym up until this meet, but after getting loose and losing my position under 230 and missing it, I decided to play it safe and re-attempt it only to be red lighted. Still not sure why, but it is what it is.
Turns out I was only 10 lbs shy of the squat state record, 20 lbs short of the deadlift record, and 75 short of the record total in my class and division. Amatuer of course, but hey...
Looking at my numbers, maybe I would make a good deadlift specialist for a guy my size, experience, and being unenhanced. If there's such a thing as specialists that is
