I AM FINE! But conventional has been causing me some noticeable back discomfort for a few sessions now. No concerning symptoms, and @ted.thekilophysio is keeping a close eye on me. Maybe I'm just fated to become a sumo puller. (I have one the worst deadlift build in history) by @slightlyovercaffeinated

Thanks @overloadgymsantafe and @powerlifting_america_newmexico for putting on a great meet!

TL;DR: 9/9, 1058lb total, my second meet ever, sandbagged it but I’m mostly okay with that because this last training block was inconsistent.

*The attempts*
(All got three white lights 🦄) in kg/lbs -
S: 160/352 ; 170/375 ; 180/396
B: 85/185 ; 92.5/203 ; 95/209
D: 177.5/380 ; 190/418 ; 205/452

Squat - Those who train with me know I’ve been struggling with bicep tendonitis, so I was in about 8/10 pain during squat. I “failed” 396 in training (downward bar motion). You can see a very small sticking point which is about where I nearly got folded by the bar two weeks ago. I could have gone up more based on bar speed but learning to push through this point is progress. Once I take care of this pain squat is going to the moon.

Bench - I “only” added 30 lbs to my bench this year, but I’m way more confident with the lift and can actually self-unrack heavy attempts. 209 may have looked fast but I think another 10 lbs may have been it for me.

Deadlift - picking attempts for this meet was complicated. About 6 weeks out my E1RM was between 475 and 490 lbs based on a very easy 418 lb double, so we thought 500 was in sight. But my last two peak deadlift sessions were absolute crap (I failed 418 for a single) and I had some lumbar pain, so I aimed a little lower. Based on how this looked and I felt I think I could have gotten at least 475 up, if not more. 500lbs 🎯 👀

✨Acknowledging Comminity ✨

I would not be the lifter that sandbagged a halfway decent total without a lot of support. Particularly I’d like to thank @carlos_santoliquido for helping me build my base, and @lancesgym for providing a great training environment for most of my heavy work this year and for help adjusting the my training block and selecting attempts. Likewise @mimstissima and @vesselxdeserted were very helpful in reflecting on my training and planning my taper and attempts. Finally I would have been absolutely lost without my meet-day handler @lworyk who was instrumental in making the day go smoothly and for lathering my biceps in tiger balm so I couldn't hear them screaming 😉 taken in Overload Gym of Santa Fe by @slightlyovercaffeinated
