Competition Results
(Click on lifts to see Video)
Bench
Felt strong on warm up. Lower back was very immobile and had to do alot of work to get my usual arch.
First attempt 50kg - Good lift
Second attempt 55kg - Good lift
Third attempt - 60kg - Fail
I got the 60kg off the chest but it got about 3 inches up the stopped. Left side failed first.
My lower back was aching after this. I was familiar with the equipment and the bench was lower than what I had trained with so I felt my set up was where it usually sat in training.
Deadlift
(Or dreadlift as I now call it)
Warm up never felt good. I stuck to my plan but my lower back was aching before I even started warming up. I foam rolled and stretched but nothing would ease it. In warm up I was actually going to lower my opener because 110kg's felt like a grind.
First attempt 120kgs - Good lift - Felt good
Second attempt 127.5kgs - No lift. The RHS of the bar swung forward
Third attempt 127.5kgs - No lift. I locked it out but what red lighted for a technicality
Normally I can pull 130kg's on a bad day with a virus and a heavy period. Today I'm putting it down to too much sauna yesterday and lack of focus on form.
Otherwise it was a great day. A small closenit crowd and new friends made. Felt good to compete today.
Moving forward:
- No more cutting! Water load and 18hr fast prior to weigh in. If I need anything more then I should prep better with weight loss.
- Read the GPC rule book
I'll probably add more when they come back to me!
