Fixed that for ya.
By the way, Jerry was showing off some of the trophies he has arranged for the Belle River meet! THEY ARE REALLY NICE! Let’s just say that they’re worth more than the entrance fee. They’re actually small statuettes (is that a word?).

I think that is a word. Now I wish I were competing. I will be there in one capacity or another. I’ll bring my pom pons and cheerleader stuff.

See I was thinking it should be: “I’m the hot one.”

Let’s make it the hot and over 40 world class power lifter that isn’t ambidextrous
I have video of the 185, 195 and the 205 fail. I didn’t get the good 205. Squat wasn’t a huge disappointment since it’s been a while since I’ve squatted heavy (for me) raw. The last time I tested a raw max was about 9 months ago and it was 185. In addition, it was likely high because I hadn’t trained PL yet. Finally, I went from 133 to 122 lbs in that time. So I went from 1.39/bodyweight to 1.68 bodyweight. I’ll spin this however I can to make myself feel better.
Bench was sucky
45x10
65x5
95x3
105x1
115x0
110x0
The last time I tested a few months ago it was 110 or 115. I’m going to put this down to an off day because I refuse to believe I’ve lost strength in bench.
DL
This was, for some reason, the biggest disappointment
135x5
175x3
205x1
225x1
245x1
255x0
255x0
I was expecting my max to be 265. The 245 went up fairly easily but 255 would not leave the ground. I may have gotten it if I had gone directly to 255. Last time this was tested it was 235 at 133 lbs. So the change was 1.77/bodyweight to 2/bodyweight.
I suppose a double bodyweight raw deadlift is better than a kick up the arse with a frozen boot.
This is the 205 fail. It was really a wonderful T-Nation ensemble cluster fuck. Failing at squat is me, Ouroboro_s, failing at spot it Court and recording the entire event for posterity is Ddot76.
On Wednesday evening I’m meeting with the head of another local club. This was something that came out of my gab session Saturday night with my competitor. She wanted to know why I’d never trained at this place because it was so close. I told her it’s because she trained there and since there were so few of us in our weight class, I didn’t want to show up in her sandbox. She said she wasn’t bothered by it especially since we’re both thinking of changing weight classes. Her down and me up. I was glad to hear that because I really like both her and the head of the club.

I’d chalk it up to a bad day. Also, don’t forget to consider that aside from not testing your raw maxes in a long time, you also haven’t trained heavy on the powerlifts for close to a month now.
Oh yeah, you probably should have skipped the DLs after the first two went bad…but I wouldn’t have skipped them either.

I think the latter point, not training the big three in a month is the culprit. However, I don’t think my raw squat will be all that much higher than 205. Perhaps a bit more. I think I should have gotten a lot more out of DL.
The numbers look low but that’s why I put the bodyweight comparison in besides to make me feel a bit better. Bench is low and ass sucky for sure. Squat and DL on a pure bodyweight comparison are comparable to some of the ladies here that I consider good lifters.
Maybe I’ll try it again in another six weeks or so. Who knows. Now I’m cycling up for Ottawa. This was just a place to base some of my training cycle weights on.

I look like such a twat just chomping away on my gum while you drop to the ground.
Seriously though, I didn’t expect you NOT to get it. I figured it would be a fairly easy lift, especially after how easily everything else went up. But again, I’m sorry for being a douchebag. Thanks for posting it on facebook too for everyone to laugh at me. Appreciate it.

Rugger that’s awesome, you had a great handler too. I’m hoping for some pics and vids, of both you and Court feeling up chicks.
So what’s next for you, I am assuming you met your qualifying numbers for the provincials later this year as well.
Great job, now relax in the aftermath, it’s the part of the best part of a meet.
Unfortunately no, I didn’t manage to qualify for anything. Not sure what to do next, I’ll not worry about it for a couple days and just get back into training and figure it out.
As for pics/vids, I kind of forgot. I only have the second attempt squat…which I will say I managed to cut at a normal depth!
Actually don’t tell Court, but the real reason I missed the last deadlift was because I want my first 200kg pull recorded and I realized when I had the bar halfway up that she forgot. So I set it down. Yeah, that’s what happened. Really. [/quote]
Rugger you had a great show, nice work,
Court sounds like you where working hard too
