Venice Beach [9/12/09]
Full Power
I emailed Steve Dennison about qualifying for the American Cup on Tuesday night (9/8). He said if I totaled 1400 at the meet, I'd be in. I was in the middle of a RAW training cycle and hadn't been in my SQ or DL suit since June and I hadn't touched in my shirt since then either. I figured I needed to go 501/363/540 for a 1404 which I thought would be pretty doable. I decided to do the meet on Wednesday (9/9). I practiced touching in my shirt that night and put on my SQ suit and did some heavy walkouts. I lost 10lbs between Thursday (9/10) and Saturday's 6am weigh in.. it was a bitch. The plan was to do 501/363/540 all on seconds and call it a day.
Squat:
474 good (slow. took it down too slow and went too deep)
501 good
545* good
Bench:
363 2 reds (got a long press command)
363* good
pass
Deadlift:
501 good
540* good
562 2 reds
1449 total @ 162.5 BW
*Congrats to DEAN for breaking more records and a CLUTCH 3rd attempt bench to get him to the deadlift!

Pretty bitchin' Brent. Post moar plz.
Really impressive. What was the problem with last dead? I assumed hitching, but I didn't see it in the video. Knees not locked? Strong pull.
Way to dominate. I bet you'll look even better when you're doing an equpiied training cycle.
equipped too.
Congrats on qualifying B! those numbers are H-U-G-E gargantuan..
thanks guys. i'm shooting for an elite total in january and if i get it, i'll be moving up a weight class so i too can be H-U-G-E gargantuan..haha
