Entering my first meet in Oct.

**warriors** · 05-12-2005, 12:48 AM

I found out today that Daryl, one of the plers at my gym, is doing the annual meet at my gym again this Oct. After the last meet that took place last Oct. at my gym he said he was gonna retire it but i guess he decided to change his mind. Since ive been working out with him and James and have been more on the pl side lately i figured i would enter it. I'm gonna enter the 190-195lb class and try a 340-350lb bench(depending on how much i'm lifting by then, 450-480lb squat(again depending on how i'm lifting) and i might do the DL but i'm not sure yet b/c i just started doing them seriously within the last couple months and i'm still working on perfecting my form first. Also i wont be wearing a suit or a bench shirt b/c he said there will be two divisions. One division will be the whole 9 yards(suit, shirt, etc) and the other division(one im entering) will just be using a belt. I'm sure i prolly wont win with those numbers but u have to start somewhere and i figured it would be good experience for me if i ever want to get real serious about it.

Anyway i will be posting from time to time with my progress and how i'm feeling about the comp. Wish me luck guys!!!

It's good to hear that you are going to enter your first competition

. I hope to hear more about your progress. What kind of training are you doing?

Is this a sanctioned powerlifting meet?

I'm pretty sure it is b/c Daryl and James always compete in the NASA and Daryl will probably using their rules(not quite sure though so i will check on this friday). People from all over come to it from Illinois, Missouri, Georgia, Miss., and a few more states have come before.

Well ive been working out with James and Daryl and i just follow their routine which is MON: Squats WED: Bench FRI: Deadlifts. I also throw some other bodyparts in there too. So Wed after i do bench i usually do some tricep work and bicep work and Fri after DL's i do some lat work, delt work, and shrugs.

NASA is a good organization, I was suppose to lift last year in a few, but got really sick... anyway, yeah they are good people... a lot of west virginian's lift for nasa.

If people are coming from out of state then it must be a fully sanctioned meet.
