Meh- use that day as a marker, for a bad session.
your training has been solid, you are going to get your numbers and more
tear shit up and have fun this weekend
good, you’ve got that bad day out of your system; nothing to hold you back now.
I’m with linrose, you’ll tear it up. Be sure to relax and have fun.
White lights Joe! and don’t forget to have fun too
Best of luck, your gonna do great.
When you’re there and it’s just you and the weight - don’t think, just do.
Kill it buddy.
so here were some of the TNation crew ready to cheer Joe on…Joe, Lil Power, Linnrose and Rhondastarr…I will let Joe tell you how he did, I left before deadlifts and told him if he goes 9 for 9, he’s not lifting heavy enough!
Go, Joe!!
(Huh. I worked on a GI Joe cartoon 7 yrs ago and it’s still stuck in my head.)
Can’t wait for the update!
james
Well…the anticipation is kill me.
Taps foot waiting impatiently for an UPDATE!!!
Meet Report 9-17-11
The trip was uneventful and pretty enjoyable. With my wife and Ronda riding shotgun we went up to Knoxsville early Friday and then goofed around that night. Ate well and slept okay. Weighed in and 197.6 Sat. morning, so you talk about squeaking in to your weight class. Lil Power and linnrose made it and it rocked having both of them there though I didn’t get to hang out as much as I would have liked.
The basics: I went 8/9 only missing my final deadlift* and for the weirdest possible reason ever.
Squat- Went 3/3 at 275/305/330 Might have had 5-10 more lbs in me but it was close.
Bench- Went 3/3 at 230/245/255 Oddly 255 came up pretty fast.
Deads Went 2/3 at 355/390/410* miss
Now for my Dl dumbassery. The top lip of my knee seelves on my right knee had curled over and one of the fingers of my left hand caught on the folded over lip and it was justr enough resistance to keep me from finishing the lift I don’t know if its going to show up on the video but I was trying to lift the bar and thinking “The freaking hell?”
So +30 total PR but was one missed lift from that PR being much larger.
