So Mike W. ran a collegiate raw PL meet this morning at Cal State San Bernardino. I showed up as a favor to Mike. Did bench only, no prep. USAPL judges and rules.
Raw Contest Bench:
Attempt 1: 325, 3 White Lights
This was easy
Attempt 2: 347, FAIL
This stalled on my chest, which is a new sensation for me. Good thing I'm concentrating on raw strength next year.
Threw on the Metal IPF Bencher for my 3rd attempt (didn't count, but gives a damn?)
Attempt 3: 407, 3 White Lights
The 407 was pretty easy. The lockout was slow, but meh.
All-in-all, pretty decent for just showing up and doing it. I love the Metal IPF Bencher. The Rage X/Rage throws my groove off if I jack the shirt down. The Bencher is a much higher groove; it felt extremely easy to touch and it gave me as much support as the Rage.
Also, my bench attempts will be something like:
385/413/418-429

Nice work! Way to put up some big numbers for the youngin's.
Was there a big turnout overall?
About 15 people. It zipped by pretty quick since no one had to dick around with gear. Bench started at 9:30 and I was out of there by 10:30.
