MM Training Log

[Parabellum]

I had a blast and even got my wife excited about the whole thing. Pics are all blurry. I placed third, I believe. 3rd highest weight in my class.

I decided to open with 355 because I seemed weak during warmups. Second I hit 375,easy, then I missed the 3rd with 400 even. I lost it taking ot out of the rack then brought it down and moved it a little and list my grove. Judge told me I mentally lost it as soon as I unracked it and swayed the bar back a bit, he said I have the power and said he would bet me dinner that if I just moved down a bit on the bench to clear the uprights I would have had it.

Next "Y" Comp is in Flushing, Nov 22nd.

Best and highest bench was 440.

Great experince and I can't wait untill November.

Good job for a first contest. I hate that when you miss a lift you know you can do. Damn mental barrier.

 

[overhead]

Good job, I bet you get that 400 in Nov.

 

[Parabellum]

Yeah it sucks Mike. I'll nail it in November for sure.

I'm going to nail it this Tuesday and move on.

 

[WarriorPL]

Awsome man... great work.

You'll get that for sure next time.

 

[Parabellum]

Hell yeah Wiz, see you Tuesday.

 

[Furg]

[Parabellum]

Parab,

Great stuff

Sorry I missed the comp I had a wedding in Albany.

PM the specs on the Nov 22 comp in Flushing Y, I live in flushing and I may look to compete what are the weight classes again ?

Judging by your post I am assuming you had to unrack the weight yoruself?? That is bullshit I mean give me a break if thats the case how the hell do you set up and stay tight if you have to unrack yourself.

Let me know,

Again, great job,

Mike

I always unrack the weight myself, even in training. I train alone.

I have to call over to the Flushing Y to get the details.

These were the weigh classes for Men:
Bantam 138-145 lbs
Middle 146-165
Light Heavy 166-175
Middle Heavy 176-198
heavy 199-225
Super heavy 226+

There were about 7 superheavys all between 240 and 270.
