How many meets have you done before?
Just remember with bench, don’t do shit until they tell you to! With squat and deadlift, don’t finish (walk in or drop the bar) until they tell you to!
ha!1 thanks PMPM! I know! that’s totally going to be my problem!! I’ll end up with an hour long bench command wait out again…bluhhha!
hey nadia! i did one meet, my first PL meet in march. I’ve done one strongman comp a couple years ago too:)
n-i hope i can ignore yet capitalize on bench spotters at the meet. I don’t expect miracles, but i am going to try.
in other news: I’m already getting yellow on my elbows,knees, and toes…i’ve been eating canned plain pumpkin…oh boy! i love it!..but i turn all jaundiced looking :{ a nerd version of tanning i guess.
Yeah, I hate the sound of dropping the bar on the safety’s, too. Much prefer that to dudes racing up behind me and squatting alongside trying to spot, though. Even though they are spotting the bar appropriately, and trying to help. Freaks me out, rather. Especially since I front squat, I worry they might decapitate me with the bar or something. Interesting for me to see that your sticking point (if that is what it was) is different from mine.
Just watched your vid! It looked like you almost had it…next time!! I dont have safeties…do you feel squished when you have to bail? I think I would poop my shorts!! 
You’ve done a Strongman comp? Sweeet! How’d you do?
Pumpkin in a PP shake is YUM!
Brute- I think between you, o_s, and pmpm, you out lift most of teh boyzzzz on this site.
Awesome lifting here!
what about that belt to wear during the heavy sets? Does that seem to help or make a difference?
I think your lower back may be the missing link? With some extra support there, I think you’d have it! Was there anything else effecting you that day?

Plus Brute has super cute dimples.
Are you ready?
Saturday looms.
Can’t wait to see you! You will do great.
Brute, I can’t wait to see how you and the other ladies do. It’s so much fun when you have a lot of support and friends competing with you. That’s a part of the sport that I really enjoy; the social part. You are a beast and I’ll be checking on Saturday so see how you all did.
Good Luck this weekend!!!
