cool! I assume you are going to be there prior to that though?

who else will be there…should we all make T-Nation signs to meet in a certain spot? :D[/quote]

I plan on checking in around 12:30-1:00, then weigh-ins go until 2:30 when lifting starts.

I’ll be there with VTBalla. He’ll be the tiny guy next to me, you’ll recognize him. StormTheBeach who I think posts primarily in his log will be there. He is monstrously strong.

Not sure who else, if anyone.

NOTE: I mystersiously dropped 4lbs last night despite eating more yesterday than I have all week. I weighed in at 220.4 lbs. I may actually compete in the 220s lol. My eating and sleeping have been shit this week, think that’s why I’m dropping bodyweight.

Thanks man! I’m gettin pretty stoked.

I forget the kilo equivalents… but my openers are something like 290 squat/250 bench/405DL. Hoping to total somewhere in the 340/300/480 range, but we will adjust as needed during the meet.

546

I housed on a good amount of food today. If I check in at 220 again tomorrow, I’ll have to accept it’s my legit weight and not dehydration. My sleep schedule has been HELL with this work training, but I should get two full nights of slumber now before my meet.

Strength-wise, I am feeling pretty dialed in and I believe my goals are all realistic. Had a good last week of training. Just a matter of trying not to be amped up tomorrow and drain my CNS haha.

Thanks for the support guys, I wouldn’t say it’s bringing a tear to my eye… it’s just gettin a bit dusty in here!

547

Despite your unnatural hatred for all things Kobe, I’m rooting for ya brother. You’re gonna kill it.

548

Heyyy buuuddy!

looks like I won’t be able to make it. I know your heart is breaking. But you will kick some butt regardless!!

This just means you have to do another competition during a less crazy time. checks calender
May looks clear!

:slight_smile:

549

you are an eagle scout.

550

24 hours till I start lifting!!! I’m so pumped, I want to jump in a squat rack right fucking meow.

I’m totally gonna pull a Kobe. Be disappointed with my total, work out in the main gym after the comp ends, purposefully letting everyone see me work out so they know how serious I am.

<3.

60% of the time, that line works every time.

551

^^^ Haha, dude I literally laughed out loud at that. Well played.

552

553

I was planning on posting to my log from the meet, but if my phone sucks (distinct possibility) I might spam you with texts.

There’ll be two flights in my session so I’ll have some free time.

LOL

I’m so pumped for you. Try to get some rest tonight because you might have trouble sleeping tomorrow after the meet (I did… CNS overload I think?)

If you dont have some now you might want to stock up on some Epsom Salt so that you can have a couple baths/soaks after the meet to help out with potential soreness.

Good luck broham… As a good friend used to say: “go get it and come back wid it!”

556

MEET DAY!

I weighed in at 220.4… fml… there’s no way I can not gain a tenth of a pound before weigh ins. I am not starving myself today. I care more about my total than where I place in my weight class.
