Thanks. Worst meet I've done. Only my openers on squat and bench - technical issues that I probably wouldn't have made, had I been able to train properly that week my gym was closed (which I had an option, but balked at the cost, oh well) and 2/3 on deads for a 1075 total. I don't have the vid, but my 2nd dead was technically a PR at 460. The guy before me did some Tork, and I got a whiff while on deck and got really lightheaded after my pull - not sure if that was affecting me on my 485 3rd, or what. One of the guys I train with has the video, so I may put up the DL PR - just because it's a PR that moved fast - when I get it.
I'm sorry your meet didn't go as planned, but congrats on the DL PR! I believe your total is still way over the qualifying requirement for the RPS Supreme Iron Warrior World Championships meet in September.
Are you going to compete at the CT State Championship in June? A few guys at my gym already registered for it so they have been pressuring me everyday to sign up too.
No, I don't think my wife will let me spend the money on that one - too soon. I was thinking about the Supreme Warrior in New Jersey, but the Power Challenge in Brockton in October is probably more likely.
Quoting myself to say that I just looked at a revamped training schedule and Jersey looks much more doable now.
where in Jersey?
lazy- I just googled.
damn- Supreme Warrior is a race horse.
And running USA is blocked.
It's at the Ramada Plaza in Newark, NJ on Sept 16-17.
awesome- cool! Thank you.
@TR0berts keep me posted.
Although that's my first year anniversary- I'm guessing I'll get the stank face for making other plans that weekend.1 -

The start of the final push to peak for worlds is going well. 105kg to a 2 board. Definitely a body weight pr and I believe a lifetime pr as well.

Will do. I could see, "yeah, I'm gonna go check out a guy I know online lift" potentially being an issue.
I think my wife is trying to get me to do the Ohio one, instead, so we can go visit friends. I figure we can go see them whenever and not feel icky about seeming like we're obligating them to come out to the meet.1 -

Blushing. Benching is fun work. I'm so not motivated for squats or deads right now.2 -
First day back benching. Little rusty, but everything felt good. Minus the saftey bars being set one hole too high. That got heavy real fast lol. 135x3, 185x1, 135x10. Warm up not filmed.

Awesome job! Gotta ask. Also, what is the out of 9 for?
You get 3 attempts each for squat/bench/deads, so 9 total attempts. (I missed 4/9 so I had 5/9 completed.)
And the lights- 3 judges/3 lights. White light means good lift, red light means bad. You need at least two white lights for a good attempt.
Three judges, three lights. A white light indicates a good lift, a red light a failed lift.0 -

14?! Yea, 14... ridiculous.

Do you guys normally have just one lift that seems to be clicking at a time? Every time my Deadlift starts to progress well and more rapidly, my other lifts start to feel like complete garbage... a la Squats & Bench.

Yes.
Usually deads.

Yep. The body seemed to be that way by stealing from one to help the other. Especially when life is stressful or cutting weight.0 -

Normally yes, although the other lifts typically just hold steady. Every once in a while there is a magical training cycle and everything moves up at the same time.1 -

Definitely deads. Dips, pullups close behind. Everything else, garbage lol.0 -

yeappers.
Usually there is a big trade off on the progress I see on different lifts and how smooth they are feeling.
I wouldn't say my others are COMPLETE garbage- but I spend time usually technically and mobility wise trying to improve one lift the others lag.0 -

Mine will remain steady weight/intensity wise, but it seems like technique kinda suffers. Kinda like i'll execute a particular lift very, remembering all cues.... and then the other lifts I won't cue everything properly so they're not as smooth, or more difficult than they should be.0 -
I was really excited to get in the gym this morning after a big breakfast today and a great day of eating yesterday.
290x3, 305x3, 320x2 rep PR. Wow, did I just rep three plus plates?
And to answer @LolBroScience question, yes. I usually have one lift in the doghouse, sometimes two. Currently the bad dog is the squat, but I'm hoping the bad air has cleared on them now and I can back to blithely mashing them out.6 -

Yes. And it can be quite frustrating at times. A few months back, my bench went up a bit, while my DL and squat creeped up just a little. Then, when trying to focus on squats, somehow my squats did nothing (maybe went down, even), my bench did nothing, but my deads went up.0 -

Oya. I'm still fairly new to this but for about 3 months everything was moving nicely. Then this last 3 my bench started to fall off and stall then my dead slowed quite a bit, but my squat is moving almost too fast to keep up.

Y'all are crushing it. This is the best thread on MFP, I'm convinced.
I love Oly lifting but powerlifting is definitely a gap in my fitness at this point. Time to get after it!3 -
Been training around a groin/hip strain since Oct. Needed to see where my DL is for programming leading up to June 3rd meet. Worked up to a heavy single and PR at 405. BW = 169 currently and will be gaining up to 180 so hoping a 425+ pull will happen in June. Feeling pretty good.

So one of the girls at my gym and I are talking about doing a meet maybe in the fall. I was planning on Spring- but I could probably do fall. So we shall see. that would be cool to finally step on the actual platform. #stillnotstrongenoughandneverwillbe

Just do iiiiiit.
I totally get the "still not strong enough" mentality, but it's so much fun.
Plus local meets are never (well not usually) anywhere near what you see people lifting on the interwebs/national records (unless you got some local freaks). (I think there were a few guys that went for records, but there were also some guys that were close to me in bw and deadlifted umm much less than me.)
I was one of the last lifters in my flight multiple times Saturday, which surprised the kitten out of me. (One of the skrongest ladies in the room, say whaaaa?)
It's nice to have the experience under your belt. I felt much more confident having done it once before, even though I was still nervous and like shaking when I went out for squats hah.5 -

I was going to last year and the moved the meet- so my gym was like- well we will do this one instead-but it was several months away- and I plan my year in 6 month blocks. I wasn't going to shift or extend a bulk. And I was already 3/4 of the way through a training cycle. And by the time the new meet date rolled around I was going to be cutting for my wedding- so sorry not sorry- I'm not doing it.
So maybe this time.
I need to get through a July certification- so I'll see if we can pick one that's several months out of that- the july thing is serious- like I just started my training program now for that- it's 4 days of intense dancing and a test. so- no massive weight training for a meet for that. So- balancing dance and lifting is hard. But I'm excited- I think it'll be good. it's been a long time coming.
I'm slightly afraid I'm going to seriously love it- and its' going to derail my financial plans- which is another reason I put it off. It needs to be done- I've been lifting long enough- there is no reason outside money not to do it.2 -

I'm gonna be "that guy" but I swear this isn't a humble brag. All three of my lifts have been progressing. I think it's because I'm still new enough to the sport that I'm gaining pounds simply because there are things that are being fixed on all three lifts. I'm finding optimal grip widths, stance, cues, etc. and it's helping me see gains in all three. I know it will all slow down eventually, but I bench three days a week and squat and deadlift two days a week and I'm seeing the most progress for all three lifts that I've ever seen.0 -

I think this makes a lot of sense.
The past 6 months have been similar for me, everything coming along pretty steadily. But I had never really trained optimally or honed in on my form etc. Plus I was coming off a lot of down time.
I could say my bench hasn't had quite as much progress as squats/deads (no new 1RM in like 2 years, last tested max I hit was 5 lbs shy), but also I lost 30+lbs and didn't train bench/chest/triceps much at all most of 2016. I hit a pre fatigued rep PR a few weeks ago (150x3 I think?), so all things considered I'd say bench is doing pretty well too.
Deadlift has really been my money lift recently I guess. A lot of that is form related I think.1 -

Do ittttttttttttt. There are tons of meets in NJ/PA/NY/MD. Meet entries are normally less than $100, and I think most people compete 2-4/year so maybe at most you'd be looking at the equivalent of $35/month which is a fairly reasonable cost for a hobby.2 -
5x5 with 292lb. Experimenting with wider stance. Felt good. Working grip too. All DOH.
