i sucked,completely bombed out, i present this info to help other powerlifters. in the end though it does not matter why you miss either you make it or you don't.
1. have had a sinus infection for a couple of weeks, got a shot in the ass at the doc's yesterday and antibiotics, thought i could power thru it, not hardly, almost did not go was running a fever last night and should have backed out but i am hard headed
2. did not respect my opener, was all ready looking at my 2nd lift. opener was normally good for a double, on hand off it was like i had no strength,it crushed me, judge said i had the pegs too high and flattened my back, also no leg drive.
2nd try i did not wait for lockout command, stupid mental error
3rd try i pressed it up ok then i just lost control of the weight and it started to fall towards my legs with my arms still locked out, not really sure except by this time i had lost all confidence
3. did not monitor my blood sugar close enough, i was shaky cause of low blood sugar, might have contributed to mental error
4. let myself drop too much weight, the past 2 weeks i have had no appetite with this sinus thing, i normally like to be over 245 then cut to just under 240 i weighed in with no cut in street clothes at 234, i am thinking about dropping to the 220 class, trying to maintain weight is just as hard as dieting to lose weight
5. stomach cramps, not sure why but the past 2 day's i have been hurting, maybe antibiotic is upsetting things
next meet is mid may, i say good by to the 50-54 age group and move on to the new class
