2.19.11 Meet

Weight: 77.9 kg (171.74 lbs)
Class: 181 lb Men's Raw Junior

Squat
1st attempt 130 kg (286.5 lbs): good
2nd attempt 142.5 kg (314 lbs): good
3rd attempt 150 kg (330.5 lbs): good (15.5 lb PR)
I really wish someone had taken a picture of the faces I was making just because I want to see them. All attempts felt pretty good though, but this is around where I was peaking on my caffeine/endorphin high

Bench
1st attempt 85 kg (187.2 lbs): good
2nd attempt 92.5 kg (203.7 lbs): no good; uneven extension
3rd attempt 92.5 kg (203.7 lbs): good
Never noticed how strict judges were on extension until I watched the video again. The weight itself felt easy and I honestly probably should've gone for my original 209.2 kg but didn't want the same thing to happen and only be credited for 187.2.

Deadlift
1st attempt 182.5 kg (402.2 lbs): good
2nd attempt 192.5 kg (424.2 lbs): good
3rd attempt 195 kg (429.7 lbs): no good
Pretty gassed at this point (not to mention caffeine crashing) so 424.2 felt like my old PR attempt of 435. Watching the video my 429.7 might've been possible if I had started lower and didn't lock my knees out so fast.

Total
435 kg (959 lbs)
Felt good about my lifts this meet, with a PR on squat and proof of over 200 in bench and 400 in deadlift for getting over mental blocks in training. My ideal meet would've resulted in 1000 total but I'm really starting to think I can next time. And after trying this meet without attempting to cut and with personal problems (sleep) beforehand, I think I'm ready to try to go back down to 165 for August's meet. As a final note, I fucking love caffeine.
