It was a great meet . Pr's in every event and one lift away from a perfect 9 4 9 .

Squat 210
Bench 152.2
Dead lift 240

602.2 total . I went for 247.7 on my third attempt with the dead* and missed* . I got to gready and made to big of a jump after a long day i was getting drained . I Should have did 243-5 and got a perfect score. oh well still Pr's !

My total pounds was 1325 and this is up about 75lbs from Calgary in a lighter weight class.

Took first place for my age group and third place for my weight class. I'm not sure on the final totals but John ( from This site ) took second and I think we had the same total , but he weighed in 3 pounds lighter .

There where 10 guys in the 220's so it was still a good placing and a personal best for myself.

Congrats! How do the Wilks numbers compare from the last meet at a lighter bodyweight to this one? Just curious.

Last meet I totaled 1250 . I lifted more at a lower class , but after rehydrating I was the same weight or heavier

Thanks 69.

So now my training is done for a while. I will be having knee surgery sometime soon ( hopefully ) so my main focus is rehab ! My lower back is messed up right now so this is my number 1 that needs to be fixed.

Once I'm 100% I will be shooting for a 1400lb total for next years worlds.

I will be trying to keep my bw down to 230 or so because 20+ lbs is a bitch to drop

Good luck w/ the surgery and rehab. With a little luck you'll be 100% by spring.

It's harder getting back into it than I thought.

Slowly bringing cardio back in and getting my eating habits in check again. Squatting for the first time tomorrow.

[Talo]

First workout was an easy one . I am unable to squat right now due to my messed up knee and lower back so just a quick upper workout.

Bench
Incline Flyes
Pulldowns
Chin ups
tricep extensions
DB curls

Quick and painless. Hopefully I will hit something heavy soon .
