I Have Nothing to Declare but My Genius

Everything looked real good Joe. Biggest part is just getting up there and competing and you did it.

Now that I’ve slept I have a few more observations about the meet. Taking the bar from the monolift was uncomfortbale even though I walked it out. Something about the bar felt wobbly to me but I couldn’t tell you exactly what. [/quote]

Joe, the squat bar they use is a Mastadon bar and it’s 60# bar and bit thicker than a normal gym 45# gym bar…just fyi.

nice work at the meet - congrats

Joe, right back at it despite just finishing a meet! Strong like bull. :slight_smile:

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Excellent work on the dips joe.

WOW! No rest for the weary.

Simply stellar Joe!

Don’t start second thinking that attempts at the meet. First meet is for learning and gaining confidence. Now that you know how things work, you can go out and be agressive with confidence at your next one.

Reset my numbers and I’ve switched over to Sumo squats. I was hoping to get 12-14 reps on the money set give the low numbers but I got winded pretty quickly. My breathing must have been off. I’m still rounding my back but not nealy as badly as I was conventional so maybe that a good sign. Struggled a bit with the singles but all in all I guess it was an okay day. Need to increase intensity somehow.

Geeze go out of town a few days and all the vids are already down?

…Sounds like it went well.Congrats.

awesome work on your first meet Joe!!! but why can’t I see the vids :frowning:

your bench is more comfortable close grip for the same reason you have stellar dips - triceps of steel.

nice to see you right back it.

I just got back from Alabama and Joe’s house and I want to say that Joe did great at the meet. He had alot of fun and he seems like he is looking forward to competing again. I think now that he has started he might be hooked on it :slight_smile:

Comp addict! Only one cure. More comps, higher totals.

Thanks Frenchie, like I said above I can still play the videos so I’m not sure why they aren’t showing up.
