Finally found I meet I'll (hopefully) be around for, so it's time to start training. Next September, the
100% Raw Nebraska State Championships. Should compete in the 198lb weight class, the records from last year were 363,330,385 for a 1080 total. I destroyed those SQ and DL numbers at my first meet in April here in Texas, and was only 5lbs short on the bench, so I should break all those records easily. I'm gonna test each lift sometime soon so I can determine reasonable goals. I figure 450,350,500 should be very attainable, but we'll see.
Hopefully I won't be deployed and I'll be able to participate. If not, I'm still training for it and I'll just do my own 'meet' at my gym whenever I can. The biggest thing that excites me is just have something specific to train for, such good motivation! I'll start a training log in December after I move and get settled.
