I weighed in Friday night at 155. I was looking to be at 148, but I cut about ~8lbs of water and was still a lot over. The meet scale must be a lot heavier than mine. So I just competed at 165.
Warm-ups went well for the squat. I opened with 355 and it felt fast. I went to my planned 2nd of 385 and that felt good too. 415 was what I was planning on taking for my 3rd, but I decided to go to 405 instead just to make sure. Unfortunately I lost my balance in the hole and missed it. Still have PRed since March of 2010...

Bench warm-ups all felt fast and pec was holding up alright. I opened with 195 and that felt good. Then I went up to 225, so it got red lighted because my training partner didn't move out of the way after the hand off. I took it again for a 3rd and got it.

Deadlift warm-ups felt ok...I kind of kept feeling like I was falling forward. I opened with 330 and it was fast. Then I went to 370 and that felt good too. My goal this meet was to total 1000, so I took 390 for my third and got it. It still felt like I had some lbs left in me, so I loaded up 405 in the warm-up and just got it.

Officially totaled 1000, 1015 if you count the 405 deadlift. It was a good day. Figured out that I need to work on handling heavier weights for the squat, even if I dont have a monolift to work with. For the bench I just need to get stronger all around and work on technique. Deadlift seems to be lacking off the floor or a few inches above.
Time to plan my next training cycle for my meet in early June. Probably going to do an RTS template.
