First thank you prometheus and cubanito. The meet is March 16th at fergs sports bar n grill. From 95 you need to go I4 west follow it until it it turns into I275 go over the brigde in to st pete not quite sure what the exit is but its on Central ave downtown directly acroos from the police station. Or you could call 54th ave gym and get dirctions exactly. Also all you guys here let me know who is going so we can meet up there. Cubanito, grimmer , the mann. etc. But dont worry before we get close i will post the number and all info , start time and shit like that.

MY mistake!

I wanna add just one thing to this original post. I got an email from someone who is going into his first meet and asked a bunch of questions , and one was the 20lb rule. I have a three, lift full power meet i am doing in June but it has been so long since i have competetd full power that i am out of that mind set. The 20lb rule is for bench. Squat i would do around 50lbs less, reason being you dont know how low the judges are gonna make you go. That is th ecause of 80%of bombouts in full power meets The squats! Deadlift would be also around 50lbs less. Reason...you dont know if your gonna be hurt. My last full power meet i had some hip pain leading up to the meet. And didnt realize how much it hurt, so that along with me bring 5 new guys who had never lifted when i was up to do my 650 opener i had warmed up with 315, 405 , 495. When i was doing 315 i couldnt go anywhere near parallel my hip was fucked up. I came out did my opener and it was all i had. So deadlifts rolled around i had to pull my opener just about staight legged. So point is you never know what is gonna happen during the squat , or bench. YOu may be a little fatigued or hurt so 50 lbs is safe. Some people maybe more. Sorry but i just wanted to clear that up. So if you squat 600 for 1 hard rep dont open with 580!
