Squat: Had no idea what to expect here. 250 was good, but didn't move like 270-272.5 would have been there, 262.5 looked like a 2nd attempt, def had room for 5-10 more kg.
135x8
225x5
315x3
405, 455
230, 250, 262.5
Bench Press: Initially put in for 167.5 as my opener, but we went to 172.5 because there was not much pain and 315 felt like a pvc pipe.

135x8

365
172.5, 182.5, 187.5 - probably had 192.5 in me
Deadlift: Moved opener from 252.5 to 255 for a possible jump to 280 if 255 was super easy. Decided to just go with 275 and 280, and they were tough. 285 would not have been easy and we wanted to go 9/9.

Intentionally went up to 125 because it was supposed to be a gimme first place placing and one of the top 120 lifters in the state from the past few years was listed at 110 and I was in no shape to compete with him. I also had the opportunity to chip a couple state records in the process (I would not have been able to beat my current 110 M1 records except for squat maybe). On meet day there was a roster change and the 120 lifter listed in the 110 weighed in at 112.??? clearly missed weight and should have been listed as a guest lifter (2 of our lifters wanted to make class changes on the day and were told they would have had to lift as guest lifters, so they cut and absorbed weight respectively in order to compete in the open classes). It all ended up working out because the guy ended up bombing out.
