5 days out:

did some Band GMs and squats with my GF on my back.

Today I did some light cario to loosen up. I've basically done no physical activity all week. Can't wait for saturday.

**DJSTARER** · 03-17-2007, 10:53 AM

its the day of.....

545am, and I'm shaving my head, listening to metal, and sipping two servings of weight gainer. I'm weighing in at 193 this morning, which is about what I weighed at the end of my training. I did about 700kcals of pasta + 300 in beef last night as a carb up. I'm feeling good.

I'll post my numbers this afternoon. Then pass out.

Had a good meet.

here are my final results:

S1- 365 hit (three whites)
S2- 405 hit (three whites)
S3- 435 MISS (never even squated it, lost my footing and dropped the weight backwards)

B1- 235 Miss (moved my head)
B2- 240 Hit (2 whites, 1 red for head again)
B3- 265 Hit (3 whites)

D1- 485 Hit
D2- 500 Hit
D3- 550 Miss (got it about 10 inches up, and grip let out) * I knew I had the back strenth, but my grip just couldn't keep up. I know what to work on now.

1170

All and all, good first meet. Didn't bomb out on any of my lifts. Work do to for next meet.

**romanaz** · 03-17-2007, 08:33 PM

nice job man. How did you place overall?

**DJSTARER** · 03-17-2007, 08:34 PM

probably last in my class. there were some HUGE numbers

**romanaz** · 03-17-2007, 08:43 PM

sweet. I can't wait for my first meet man :-D

**BigZeke** · 03-17-2007, 09:21 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't mind competing one day too. Would love to see some of the people's faces when they get beaten by a guy benching elbows out

Nice job on the meet DJ, sucks about that 550. Have you thought of maybe trying hook grip?

**DJSTARER** · 03-18-2007, 12:59 AM

i'm not familiar with hook grip. enlighten me.

honestly, I believe the fact that I havn't done any pulling over 500 EVER and very little pulling over 400 in general training has led me to a grip weakness.

Hook Grip

Make sure you tape up your thumbs, unless you want to lose your thumbnail that is

EDIT: Whoa, the post cleaned up the links for me, pretty cool

That is a great first meet. 1170 is very respectable. Way to go!

feeling rough today...

its as if i'm hung over... from lifting. Aching all over. I think i may have pulled one of my left abs or obliques. I guess this is why I'm taking the next 3 days off.
