You're going to be the new record holder...[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the well wishes Mac!
You’re right that I’m a new record holder. But it’s only temporary and I’m good with that.
Results:
I lifted in the 52 kg class in both the open and Masters-2 (age 50-59) divisions.
I went 8/9: 3/3 squat, 2/3 bench, 3/3 deadlift
Squats 3/3:
72.5 kg (160 lb) - opened with my meet PR
77.5 kg (171 lb)
82.5 kg (182 lb) - a 22-lb meet PR, matched my gym PR, new M2 state squat record
Bench Press 2/3:
65.0 kg (143 lb) - opened with the current M2 American record, new M2 state record
67.5 kg (149 lb) - well my opener felt like ass so I went conservative. New M2 state record, matched the OPEN 52 kg state bench record, and it’s an unofficial M2 American record. Felt better than my opener but still heavier than this weight should for me. Went up the bare minimum increment.
70.0 kg (154 lb) - missed. I’ve never missed this weight in practice under commands but everything feels different at a meet so I’v Learned you worm with what you have on game day.
Deadlift 3/3:
100 kg (221 lb) - real glad I went conservative and didn’t open heavier. Felt like it should.
105 kg (232 lb) - went up nice and felt like it
107.5 kg (237 lb) - went up with more in the tank but my goal was a bigger total and not a deadlift PR. Still a 11 lb meet PR and a new M2 state record
Total: 258 kg - a 50-lb meet PR and a new M2 state record
**So yeah I did set records beyond my own PRs. They’ll hold until June when Sioux-Hartwig-Gary takes the platform at Worlds in Calgary and totally smokes them LOL.
