great job bro... i know it wasn't exactly what you wanted, however to put up those kind of numbers against the best of the best is something to be very proud of!!! take some time off and come back with a vengeance!!!

hey, what's up fellas.....

Thank you very much for the kind words.

This meet was a blast despite me going only 3 for 9. I hit my openers and missed everything else, that sucked and it was very disappointing, I droppped my usual 12-13lbs 3 days before weigh ins and only threw on 8lbs, I just didn't feel strong at all. Despite that, it was awesome lifting with the people I went up against. It was a great experience.

RJ, I'll definitely take some easy time off and cool off for a few months actually. Still train but without worry if you catch my drift.

Again, I appreciate the kind words and thanks doc.sust for starting the thread on my name, a true friend indeed.

Artica
