Congrats. That is a great performance especially when recovering from injury. [/quote]
thanks hoss!!! i’ve become the master of competing injured… it’s kinda my thing.
Big congrats on the best Raw bench, you skinny BOF!
Holy crap! Congrats meat! My goal in life is now to perform any lift with more weight that you push on bench. 
Even sweeter you did it in sub peak physical conditon. That’s the special thing winner’s have. They prevail in spite of adversity. Outstanding.
Great job Meat!
Hopefully I will also set a PR with 485 before the year is over.
On the Deadlift

Haha, me too! Man meat you need to stop all this lifting stuff, its really bad for your body, just do more reps with light weight, it will help you lose weight.
Now that you are wasting away you are going to need to start shopping at the baby gap, and I don’t think they sell plain white sweatshirts or singlets there.
Great lifting meat, your strength is where I want it to be by next year, but it will probably take more like 10.
Wow
Nice work. Here you are busted up setting PR’s
Truly nice work at the meet.
thanks to all of you for your positive comments. this small part of the world is really great. too bad the rest can’t be this supportive.
here are the vids of my first and second attempt.

That is showing us how its done.
Someday I will show you a vid of my puny little bench (70# as of today) but I think squats and deads are enough for me to work right now.

I feel cheated!! I won’t be able to check out the videos until late tonight when I get home.
Great job, congrats on the win!
very well done, meatwinkle. I wanna be you when i get younger!
like a text book.
Nice work- a well earned win.
I saw the complete results were posted earlier today. Looks like you had a close runner up in the police and fire classing at your weight class. Very impressed with your managing this with the injury, as it is one I have had to deal with, and it sucks. RE your comment regarding judging/gifts: although my recent competition history isn’t yours, there have always been gifts, always will be. And you probably saw it in BB as well. There is the schmoozing factor in life that I will admit I don’t have the patience for, especially for a hobby sport…

yeah… we all missed our third attempts. there were three of us that where pretty much neck and neck on bench. both of the guys were really nice guys too.
i know… all aspects of sport have favoritism and bias. it doesn’t bother me. i’m there for myself. i don’t care what others are doing. unfortunately, one of the “gifts” was rediculous. my training partner Dave actually yelled out “bullshit” when they gave three whites to one of the lifts. it was pretty bad. if you want specifics, i’ll PM them to you.
I’m with you though. i don’t schmooz. i go to lift. that’s it. then i go home.

I guess I am a gossipy little bitch, PM me on the gift.
finally back in the gym…
unfortunately I’m continuing my BOF ways. I won’t be able to train again this week. Lots going on and the weekend is full. Next week i’ll be back on track.
We had a nice day today, so i decided to ride the Harley to the gym. That’s why I’m wearing jeans and riding boots. No… I’m not trying to bring back the Barbarian Brothers training style. Hopefully there are some here old enough to remember those guys.
anyway… this is what i did with my BOF self.
bench- foam press- first time doing these. I like them… I’ll keep them as the main movement for this four week cycle. this height is basically all shoulders and triceps. you can really feel the shoulders contract hard during the pause. i’m hoping these really help my lockout strength.
135x10
225x6
315x3
405x3
495x3x3- this was a good starting point. next week i’ll move it up to 515
incline bench
225x6
315x6
405x3x2- this will be my working weight on these. next week i’ll take these up to 5x2
schwabs
315x6
405x4
315x12
that’s it until next week’s BOF session.
Thumbs up on the outfit.
I am now educated on what a “foam press” is – never would have guessed!
This BOF thread is the gift that keeps on giving. It’s in my rotation for ‘pre-WO’ viewing.
Nice freaking work.
I had never heard the name ‘Schwabs’ before for that lift. I thought maybe your spotter would be making wise retirement investments while you were pressing.
