Very fun day!

Weighed 80.90kg in morning before weigh in, so ate and drank a bit.

Weight 81.10kg

Squat 205kg
Bench 120kg
Dead 215kg
Total 540kg

Squats
1st. 185kg - smoked, 3 whites
2nd. 195kg - smoked, 2 whites(dumbshit trainee referee called me on depth)
3rd. 205kg - smoked, 3 whites

Benches
1st. 112.5kg - smoked, 3 whites
2nd. 120kg - smoked, 3 whites
3rd. 125kg - fucked this one up, 3 reds

Deads
1st. 200kg - easy, 3 whites
2nd. 215kg - easy, 3 whites
3rd. 227.5kg - barely got this off the floor lol, 3 reds

20kg PR on squat, Equal PR on bench, 5kg PR on deadlift. Went 7/9 lifts for the day, enjoyable first meet.

Squats were great, I'm sure I had more left in the tank for those. Ended up with the exact total I predicted, but with 5kg more on the squat, and 5kg less on the deadlift, all good.

Pushed the last deadlift to a pretty high number as my second attempt was really good, 227.5kg = about 500lbs, plus 552.5kg would have been an unofficial national sub junior total record.

Not today haha, probably had 220kg-222.5kg in me, but 5kg makes a big difference at the limit!

3rd bench just went pear shaped, more practice with my shirt should fix this up, pretty much my signature bench press fuck up lol.

I won my class, as the sole competitor in the 82.5kg class and got most improved lifter(from 0 to 540 I guess haha). I was 3rd on wilks at the competition, two 125kg lifters were ahead of me. Gives me a 6th national ranking within the 82.5kg class. Also qualified for the open nationals, junior nationals, and sub-junior worlds.

Making weight was easy haha, I lost too much weight. This is good, I could have gotten to 79kg probably with sauna time. Means I can afford to gain 3.5kg, and still be able to make weight.

Now for my next competition, likely on Sept 13 at the same location, another local competition. Got to start thinking about goals for then, want to total close to 600kg.
