Haha, well meet was AMAZING
Meet some awesome peeps, of course 1RM among them and he was super cool and a priceless help.
Not sure how coherent I am right now, am waiting for the hot tub to clear out at my hotel cause I NEED those nice hot water jets *aaahhhh*. Want to get vids up but I only have my teeny laptop without my video editing stuff and hardly any hard drive space so will see what I can manage.
1RM was great calling my depth for my squats cause my depth is always hard to make and my 340 miss at my last meet was due to that. Also a huge help with lift-off on bench and cheering me on to make my 3rd attempt grinder for 3 whites by the skin of my teeth.
I ended up with PRs in Squat and DL, and tied my recent gym bench PR. A bit of issues with squat warmup (not enough time for last warmup of 315, went from 295 to 335 opener) which worked out fine in the end. I also walkout my squat just a hair and even though I and about 2 other people loudly told the mono operator I was walking out, he still pulled it early - good thing it was "lighter" wt as I may have lose balance too much otherwise. I yelled (relatively nicely...) at him *louder* the next attempts to pull it *after* I take my steps, lol.
Bench warmup was fine even though I went from 2nd squat flight to 1st bench flight, but had some odd stability issues on the platform (*reaaly* cushy bench made it hard to stay tight) and felt weaker than warmups indicated, but still 3/3 so yay. DL warmups went just dandy since I had a lot of time to plan out rest times. Was nervous as I hadn't DL'd heavy for about 2 1/2 weeks but PR city.
I could go for 4th attempts on all, as the previous RPS submaster world records (I also had crossover with open) were pretty much my openers or lower.
Squat: 335 (felt a tad heavy due to missing last warmup, but knew a lot still in me), 350, 365 (5 lb PR) all 3 whites. 375 4th attempt that my son proclaimed was the most awesome fail ever (sooooo close, will get it next time!)
Bench: 145 felt way too heavy but 3 whites, my last 155 single 2 week prior I felt like a good 10 more in me no prob. 150 more solid but still a bit of a grind, 155 (PR tie) super grind but form held on great, all 3 whites. Not taking 4th as even another 5 would probably not happen.
DL: Was wary of R glute and hip flexor as common problem there, also L shoulder and neck make my DLs weak but everything was super. 320 opener flew up. Since 335 would give me elite total, decided to take it next and if I missed it, would still have a 3rd try. 335 (10lb PR) was super, one of the girls said it looked like an opener. Since I already got my targets for all lifts, the rest was all gravy. Went for 345 - Great, maybe more in me. 4th for 350 cause ya know tree-fiddy and all
Ground that b out with all my crazy happiness and great way to end a meet! 25 lb PR fricking amazing.
Got 1st for my classes (165 Modern Raw Pro Open and Submaster) and best female lifter. After lifting for 5 years and 4 years of competing, I also finally got an elite total (needed 853, got 865 not counting 4th attempt, 870 including that DL)
As not vids yet, I will leave you with a few pics. I am kneeling in the bottom row 2nd from right with purple "moar squatz" shirt apparently mesmerized by my shiny trophy, lol. And got a pic of my lifter card cause I forgot what I weighed in at (163.4).
