Just copying this post from my own board...
Today was a great meet. Probably the best one i had ever done. Here's the break down of all the lifts
I weighed in at 145.25 lbs, which was light for me i thought. I opened with 245 on the bench and crushed it. Moved to 265, nailed it... nice and smooth. then went to 275 on a third, got it just about to lockout, but didnt let it drift back over my face, so i didnt hnave the energy to lock it out. It was so close though.
Ed is a total freak when benching. He opened 350 and completely destroyed it.. looked like a speed bench. Went to 375, he hit like 3 inches too low, and completely fucking crushed it. Took 400 on the fourth, but fell out of the groove cause he went too low and missed it. It was crazy
Score so far..
Jay - 265 ( American Record )
Ed - 375( American Record )
Then onto the deadlifts. I opened up with 405.. effortless , thats all i can say. Moved up to 440 for a big 20lb PR... crushed it. Took 460 on the 3rd for a national record, and got it a few inches off the ground.. stopped right there. Wasnt gonna go anywhere..
Ed was deadlifting next, and we were right after each other in the flights.. so it was pretty fucking competitive. He opened up with 440, and crushed it. ed's slow off the ground, so it takes a second to get going, but once it moves, it's unreal. He took 470 on the 2nd attempt. Same as first.. nice and easy
Last attempt he took the big 500.. and absolutely destroyed it. If he got in a good suit, and practiced in it, he'd be up around a 600 + pull.
In the end, the results were done using the rochelle (sp?) formula. Ed dominated bench. Highest teen bench of the day, and highest male bench in the 220's and 242's... he beat out grown men lol. I came in second, just a bit behind ed in the points. We both got awesome bench trohpies..
For the deadlifting trophies, i came in 1st, cause of my 3xbw pull.. it was crazy. Ed got 3rd and missed second by literally 2 points....i t was so close it was unreal.
We also saw one guy who is seriously the next halbert. Drug free, 25 years old... he weighed 181 and has put up 565 before.. he had two close misses a 555 today.. just an off day i guess
It was the sickest meet i've been too. The bench was great, the deadlift bar was perfect, and everything clicked for both of us. I'll try and have videos up my tuesday or something.. gotta fix some stuff on my computer...
Anyway.. for the big contest between me and ed.
here's the final thing...
Ed: 247.9 wilkes points
Jay: 251.4 wilkes points
It was so close.. if i had weighed .75lbs heavier, i would've lost to ed in the bet/. Thats how close it was.
It was an awesome day.....
BTW, we're both 16
