Ok, I did my meet. It was the 2013 Battle of the Mississippi Power Classic in Quincy, Illinois. I accomplished the goals I set out to going in, so I will call it a success. It's still far from making me a good lifter, but it's a start. Without putting any real effort into it, I made the 3-O-fats by 0.3 kgs. Yay me!

The equipment here was really top notch. Jason had Texas bars and new Ivanko plates along with a nice "ER rack" like set up. I loved the bench pad on that thing. It wasn't short and it was wide enough for me to fit my shoulders on.

Warm ups

bar x 10
70 kg x 5
90 x 5
120 x 3

Bench

60 x 10
90 x 5

Summary - 280/200/300 = 780 kg total 617/441/661 = 1,720 lbs total

This is the first full power meet that I have done in way too long. The things I wanted was to squat over 600, finally bench 200 kg in competition, and get at least 1,700 lbs for a total. All those considered, I got what I came for. I also won my weight class and the overall lifter by formula and got some really nice trophies for it.

When it comes to competing in powerlifting:" once you get bit, it's hard to quit "! With that said, what's the next one planned?

It hasn't been posted yet, but I've been told that the ADFPF is going to hold one in Macomb (45 minutes from me) sometime in early August.
