WELL IT STARTED OFF GOOD. MY OPENER WAS 560 AND IT WAS A SMOKE SHOW, BUT FROM MY BODY WEIGHT BEING LOWER THAN NORMAL MY 2ND LIFT AT 580 I HAD TROUBLE LOCKING OUT. ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE VID I SET MY FEET OUT WIDE BUT HAVE TO MOVE THEM UNDER ME B/C THE FLOOR WAS SLIPPERY. I PUT ON MY OTHER SHIRT FOR MY THIRD LIFT WENT 605 AND COULDNT TOUCH. ALL IN ALL IM DISAPOINTED WITH MY PERFORMANCE BUT IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR THE TEAM. WE TOOK FIRST IN EVERY CLASS/DIVISION WE ENTERED. FRANK TRAPANI HIT A GREAT 500LBS AT 164BW AND JESSE HIT 750 AT BW OF 211. I ENTERED OPEN PRO TO COMPETE AGAINST JESSE AND WITH FRANK AND I TOOK 6TH OUT OF 10. IF I ENTER THE REG OPEN I WIN BY OVER 100 LBS, BUT I WASNT LOOKING FOR A TROPHY I WANTED TO COMPETE AGAINST THE BEST THERE.

what federation was that? and what shirt do you use??
they didnt give you any time to lock that 580 attempt out, you would have definately smoked that in the gym.
looked strong though man.

haha yeah man, the announcer said you weighed in at 223 i believe so for a single ply fury that dont even fit snug you kicked as bro
Good attitude, wanting to compete against the best verses shooting for a trophy. Great job.
Good job to you and the rest of the Krewe, Eric. Are you planning on going to Dallas and doing the Europa Show with Jesse?

Damn, if it was a single ply fury and its loose you got me impressed!!! Awesome power off the chest! I have a loose fury and it only helps like 10cm at the bottom. To bad you didn't lock it out. Youre a beast!
