So the important stuff first.
Took a 100mg shot of test base this am. 10mg halo before squats, 10 mg halo before bench, 10mg halo before deads. 30mg total on the day.
I had cut the extra test out about 3 weeks ago. So just a trt dose into the meet.My weight was getting a bit high and I just felt crappy on the propionate. Not sure wtf it was. Felt a little better after dropping it. Should have put this earlier in my log but I thought I was gona throw it back in there. Gona try to run a long ester going into nationals and be a little smarter about it.
On to the Meet.
2 platforms, IMO a poorly run meet. No name calls announced for lifters up. The only way to determine if you were up was to watch the tiny names on the display. My coach was there. Many other guys from my gym so we definitely helped each other out with this.
S: The warm up area was hectic but they always are. Judges were calling squats for depth that were on the money and there was some hurt feelings there. I’m glad I was in the last flight. Got to see the calls before I went out so I knew what to do. Smoked the opener on squats . Coach overdid 2nd attempt squat by 5kg . I said “fuck it, just a 2nd attempt, I’m not here to be a bitch”. Smoked that, went for a small Pr that I missed in training, got it with room to spare.
Bench:
Warmups were shit due to equipment. Opener flew, 2nd flew. 3rd was a meet pr, probably had 5 more in me but played it safe.
Deads:
Pretty taxed at this point but a meet isn’t the place to get in my own head. Opener flew, 2nd was decent but everyone said I murdered it. 3rd was a pr on calibrated plates, probably had another 5 lbs but again playing it semi conservative. Easily qualified for nationals. Good day all in all. Couldn’t have done as well as I did without my coach and other friends there. As much as powerlifting is an individual sport having a “team” was all the fucking difference compared to doing my previous meets solo. Especially as a wrapped lifter.
