Goals & Gains The Hell in Me

Best of luck for the meet, do you have any specific goals set?
 
We getting an ass shot of you while wearing the singlet?


Also good luck.
 
Thanks, pay-pulls.

I am hoping to hit 620-630 KG. It is doubtful there will be bootay shots.
 
That was my last training before Saturday. Just need to watch what I eat so I don't bloat up and I should be fine.

If anyone wants to send some good vibrations my way, I will accept.

Good luck dude! You'll kill it because you've put in the work. Your training log has been so consistent and focused, which should give you a lot of confidence/belief.
 
Best of luck at the meet. I predict big lifts.
 
Imma to stoopid to come up with anything motivational by myself, so...


Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.

Do or Do not, there is no try.

What we do in life echoes in eternity.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
 
Meet Results

I didn't feel great when I got up today, I've been pretty sick of late, I made breakfast and drank some coffee and some water. I have been retaining water pretty bad, so I knew I was already over the 120 limit.

I got to the gym at 9am and checked all my gear and set the rack heights. I met up with the 120+ KG lifter from my gym and we went for some more food after the weigh in. I can in at a svelte 274.6.

After eating again I felt much better and contemplated changing my openers. I was very conservative and went with 200/110/227.5.

After kits of waiting we went to warm up, I hit an easy 455lb squat and was going to change my opener to 220kg, but it was too late. I actually nearly missed my opener because I didn't hear my name get called and had 30 seconds and hadn't put my wraps or belt on, I had one wrap and my belt (not quite tight enough) when I smoked 200. I forgot to enter my second, so I scrambled to enter it and went with 220, I also smoked this. I went for a moderate PR of 232.5 (511) and smoked it. Everyone asked why I didn't go higher, oh well.

Bench, was nearly an hour after squatting before warming up, there were 32 lifters, everything seemed to take its time today. Worked up to 225, opener was 242, I missed it when I racked too early. It wasn't so much a racking but I pressed to far back and it hit the rack. Retook 242 and smoked it. Went for 122.5/269 and missed it. I was feeling pretty shitty at this point, huge headache, felt like I was going to be sick.

Another hour before deadlift warmup, I was feeling alright, pulled 485 in warmups. Smoked my opener 227.5/501. I really wanted to pull 585, so I went for 250/551, I missed the first around the knee, my grip gave out. I retook 551, upon reviewing the video I was so close, felt like I was struggling for an eternity but it was about 1.5s at crotch level, all I needed was to push my hips through. Sucks.

5/9, totalling 570/1255. Disappointing, but it's the first one and I PRd the squat by 11lbs.
 
Nice squat PR, fuck being sick. It's like the whole world has been sick the past 2 months.
 
But I did talk my friend into benching 501 and deadlifting 600. Which he did. Because he's a fucking monster.
 
501bench? Shiiiiet, dude must be backing some serious chesticles.
 
I don't remember what he squatted, but it was close to 6. He looks like an animal that could rip your arms off.
