Meet Day Run Down
Squat - 450 - everything was perfect
Bench - 285 - delt is torn , let go in the warm ups at 265 - still got up the opener and waved the other two attempts
Dead - 565 - Grampy is tired by now and a bit stupid - opener 495 bang flies off the floor , im lookin up i count in my head 1 2 3 and set the bar down ... and I hear the crowd gasp ... judge only had just started moving his hand for the drop command - no lift
I'm pissed off at myself for being stupid , everyones acting like I cant hold the weight ..... GRRRRR
Meghan - one of the meet directors reminds me that it was a judges call not a missed lift I can move up ... ohhhhhh well then
545 BANG lil slower but went smooth got the call right haahahaha
Called 565 for the WTF and It was a grinder but it went !!
We do the awards thing - 1st place 198 RAW Classic 55-59 Mens
Now for those that haven't been to meets , after the over all awards they give out the Champions awards for the top lifters of the day.
Well , it took up almost 5 years but we did it !! Got a fancy Bearded Axe for the 2025 Best Lifter - Masters
So that moves our WR deadlift up to 565 from 530
And it moves our over all WR Total to 1301 from 1221
