How did your training go yesterday, O? It’s your last before the meet, right?
Great training Ms O. What kind of numbers you hoping to hit at this meet?

That’s funny. It’s the teabag spot. Seriously though, I’m happy to have that kind of spot when the weight is heavy for me particularly in a shirt.[/quote]
With all the talk of teabag spots I figure somone should post this article:

Thanks for the link. The mental imagery of their bathroom will be stuck in my brain for a while. Good stuff though.

Stoner… you know the kids that hung around the back doors of the school blazing.

It was easy and light. Just a few squat triples at 135 and bench at 85.
I’ve been mostly busy at work. We had an accident last week that resulted in a ministry investigation and an internal one that I had to look after. The kid is fine and is back at work doing light duty after a few days in the hospital. It was a bit stressful because the police had mistakenly informed us he had died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, resulting in our work site becoming a crime scene. He’s a sweet kid who is kind of surprised to be the sudden focus of such attention. He was fortunate he wasn’t hurt worse than he was.

My planned attempts in kg and lbs are:
Squat 127.5/281, 130.0/308, 145-150.0/319-330
Bench 65/143, 70/154, 72.5-75/160-165
Deadlift 145/319, 155/341, 165/363
We’ll see how it goes. I feel good now so hopefully it will be just as good on the day of.
Another meet so soon-
are you going to rock the licorice suit?
your ready- it should be fun.
your cats are funny.
I thought I had misunderstood stoner, but no it means the same thing. What I don’t get is How your cat can be a stoner unless you are stoning it? or is it just a way of saying he’s dense?
Great Cat vids. I have 3 of my own…cats, not cat vids.
Looking forward to the meet. You are going to do great!
White lights on Saturday! Hope you have a rockin’ good time and hoist a few for me afterwards!
Good luck Julie.
Go kick some ass.
I was going to type: “I’m pulling for you.” But then that struck me as incredibly funny since I can’t really “pull” in the DL sense because of my bum shoulder.
Seriously, I’m sending good luck your way and [hopefully] an elite total.
I got her back. She will be fine.

Short version. I bombed on squats. I opened at 127.5 and got called on depth but it was easy so I upped my second to 140.0 and got called again. I stayed at 140 and quarter squatted my third because I thought my right wrap had come undone so I reversed.
It was fine. It must have shifted and it felt like it was coming off. Weird. For whatever reason, my head was up my ass from the minute we got there. The weight didn’t feel heavy and the lifts were easy but I was high. I think I set up too wide.
We hung around for the rest of the day and sold t-shirts, helped with the tear down and had beer. It ended up being a laugh and I saw a lot of great people do well. It stings but I’ve had a good year. My next meet will be Provincials in January.
You’ll get’em next time. Glad to hear you had a good time.
Son of a bitch. Well, it sounds like your attitude about it all is awesome. Everything in perspective. Beer was had and friends were seen. And that was a good thing.
Seriously, though, have you ever had a wrap “shift?” I haven’t. You opted not to bench and DL because of bombing out? Or were you not allowed to?
Bombing sucks, but such is life. Your history shows that you will bounce back even stronger.

That’s what I’m counting on. The good news is that it isn’t like the sport or the total is going any where. After I had my 10 minute pity party, the day was a blast.
Ksnap, when we bomb, we can’t continue with any other lifts. It’s just as well because it really takes the wind out of your sails. Fortunately, it freed up my coach to help in the warm up room with other people who didn’t have a coach and needed a hand.
