Doing my first raw powerlifting comp in a couple weeks

[DaveTSI]

It's just a Push Pull but thats all i get around here anyhow. Ive done 10 or so geared meets now, this will be my first raw meet. Im looking forward to just walking in and lifting, not dealing with any shirt bullshit or sq/dl suits. What a pain in the ass that gets to be.

looking for a 410-20ish bench and 600+ deadlift, well see what happens

 

[Scotsman]

Awesome, kick some ass bro.

I lifted raw in my only bench meet. Got 345 at 240 BW, damn I was skinny then,LOL.

Cheers,
Scotsman

 

[DaveTSI]

lol skinny @ 240 what are you weighin in at now?

you want to talk about skinny, i have what they call "skinny mans disease". the heaviest ive ever been is 208, and that was after 3 weeks of ATLEAST 6k calories a day, workout days around 7K. Im floating around 205 right now

 

[Scotsman]

I'm currently 305-310 depending on the day, and that's down from 330.

Cheers,
Scotsman

Good Luck Bro!
AmI the only one that likes to put on my deadlift suit? Makes me feel like I'm changing into a superheros costum - lol.

 

[DaveTSI]

damn your a big boy scotsman, i wish i could pack on that kind of mass





what kind of suit do you use? Im making the switch to sumo and am thinking of getting a metal or that new inzer suit.

 

[mm107]

I like my metal ALOT....especially for sumo squating and pulling...

my best pull was in the gym at 585 i believe...fully suited tho...

but the metal gave me great pop

its the metal ace pro.

 

[DaveTSI]

so what did you get from the suit? whats your best raw sumo pull?

my old training partner can pull 550ish raw conventional, put a suit on and switch to sumo and hes good for 650.

 

[DaveTSI]

well i did the meet this saturday and it was great. i did have a great day, i went 6 for 6 and smoked every weight i touched. im uploading vids right now so ill have them up soon.

oh yeah and i weighed in at 205.5 with jeans, two shirts, sweatshirt, shoes, cell and wallet lol was prob 200-201.

Bench

407 probably had another 10-15 lbs in me, first time ive hit over double bodyweight raw

Deadlift

whats up brother! Congrats!

Nice numbers, especially for RAW!

what weight did you compete at?

i never found out my squat suit size, but i do thinks its a size 48 but ill DEF check today, i will have it with me. Today is max squat/something heavy

can get about 50-75lbs out of the suit, pulling sumo.

The pop is great off the floor, but u better still have strenght to lock it out.

 

[mm107]

P.S.

i want to embed some of the videos on my blog..

want me to?

Oh yea, and your fuckin legs a huge too man, nice work, and that 617, too fast, next time go for something 20 lbs over your max lol u blasted that, i would have never ever thought that was your 3rd attempt.

Great fuckin DL brother

thanks alot bro i weighed in at 205.5 with alot of clothes, so im figuring i was around 201. yeah and please do let me know the size, im looking at taking high 6's to 700 for a ride with a good suit from what im hearing. i have locked out 725 in a rack from my knees so i have the lockout strength.

i dont mind if you use my videos bro, go right ahead. and my legs are small right now by the way lol, i just started squatting again (as you can see in my logs) and they will be back on their way to being swole again hopefully soon.

Nice weight too,

The Metal Ace Pro Squatter I have is size 48. Never seen a competition, but i do train in it when its "gear time". Size 48 is the only measurement to go by, since thats what metal uses....

Awesome numbers, The metal suit is a very good suit. I just cant seem to use it right, The one problem i have is my legs are nice and big "peak season", compared to my waist. So the hips sometimes get baggy when i loose weight.

 

[time]

Bring it home bro.. Best of Luck

 

[Scotsman]

Nice lifts man!!
