Meet Results

Well, the meet was last Saturday and went very well I think. Below is a brief synopsis:

Squat
First Attempt: 270 - Good Lift
Second Attempt: 303 - Good Lift
Third Attempt: 314 - Good lift (4lb PR)

Bench
First Attempt: 165 - Good Lift
Second Attempt: 176 - Good Lift
Third Attempt: 187 - No Lift

Deadlift
First Attempt: 375 - Good Lift
Second Attempt: 402 - Good Lift
Third Attempt: 408 - No Lift

So I went 7/9 and had a 892 total. Just shy of 900, but still solid for my first time out. I should have gone with 182 as my third bench attempt. The last deadlift I would have had if I had eaten more. My energy levels were just down. I'll probably be doing another in December, so I'm pretty stoked on that. Great experience! The biggest thing I learned was that I need to bring way more food. The event ended up running pretty late and I already hadn't brought enough food to begin with so that really affected me late in the day.

My loving wife (The Spindle & Spoon) stayed and supported me the whole day. It was great seeing her smile before I walked onto the platform and having her cheer me on. She also took some pictures and video that I will try to get up here soon.
