Meet Results

[musc2002pa]

Just got into not too long ago. I had a pretty good time at the meet, even though things didn't go as well as I had planned.

1st - 440 - Good

2nd - 475 - miss
First thing I noticed was the weight came down pretty easy. I am not sure if being 10lbs lighter than expected had something to do with that, or wether I had the shirt pulled a little higher. I made the mistake of letting the bar drift back towards my face as soon it comes off the chest. This puts my right messed up shoulder in a bad position. I actually could lock out the left arm, but the right arm had floated back too far. I also got a huge cramp in my left hamstring.

3rd - 475 - miss
Hamstring was still bothering me as you can see me shaking my leg as I set up. I did the same thing as before, let the bar float back. This is something I will have to work on.

So I didn't get the 500....I didnt even get to attempt it

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, and gave me encouragement. There were lots of good lifters at the meet. I will have a write up put on my site soon. Below are some video links. Thanks again everyone.

nice job chad. Things rarely go as planned, but now you know what went wrong and how to fix it. You definitely looked powerful enough to get the 5 if you keep it in the groove.
