*Squat and bench I think I was too conservative with my second attempt and too ambitious with my third. I’m happy to have gone for the lifts, but of course, disappointed to have missed them. I think I’ll have a better handle on the picking attempts thing next time around.
Squat-the first two felt like nothing so I decided to go big, I SO wanted to get it but I got stuck right out of the hole. Thank you spotters. Need to work on driving my hips. And getting stronger.
Bench: I felt like I had the 3rd attempt, but lost it about half way up. A couple coaches around told me to slow the decent a little bit so it doesn’t rock so much on my chest, then I don’t need to wait a year and a half to get the press command.
Dead-I missed 245 a couple weeks ago so I was a little nervous but it felt super easy, so I think I’ve got some more in there.
Overall:
-GREAT experience. I’m SO glad to have done a meet early on in my training because it a) puts a whole new meaning to training. I know better what to do, and my weak areas were clearly identified. b) like kimba often refers to, I often feel like a spectacle in the gym. It’s AWESOME to be around like-minded (and like-built) people. c) being the strongest girl in my gym doesn’t mean SQUAT! Competition wise-I got absolutely creamed. But it was AMAZING to see girls my size warming up with the weight that I was planning on for a third attempt. Fire under my ass? I’ve got that. d) PL people are of another class. Seriously, the nicest group of folks out there. And I met some great ones, that alone was worth it.
Goals:
-Weighed in at 64.something with a full breakfast/coffee/water. A coach in my flight said it might make sense to cut back to 132 next time because I don’t have the musculature yet to fill out the 148. So, my plan is to get RIPPED AS SHIT in the next 5 months.
-Next meet-6/16
I owe a BIG thank you to UP! I couldn’t have asked for a better cheerleader, videographer, and supporter. SO SO SO good to meet you. And guys, she’s absolutely smoking hot. I can’t wait to be competing next to you in June. (did you forget my word of the year is relentless? I didn’t).
