Co-efficient was 642% which was good for second place in the meet.

Ric (242)
I decided to do the meet on Monday after spending the weekend helping at the Highland Games – it got my desire to compete going. My goal was to hit a squat and bench PR.

Squat
455 good lift
507 good lift (PR)
523 miss (rookie mistake – I dropped my head)


Bench
319 good lift
353 good lift (PR) this was felt so easy I decided to go big on my third
374 miss – somehow I let it drift towards my face and had to call take before I lost it


Deadlift
I had ZERO expectations for my deadlift. I had only pulled over 500 pounds twice since November. I was worried about even opening at 500 but I would rather bomb out on the deadlift than not get at least 500 so I went into full psych up mode:

501 good lift – really ugly, uneven grip and the bar came up a bit uneven
565 good lift – I made the big jump as I knew this would give me a PR total
584 good lift (PR) – tough lift but I felt like I had enough strength and adrenaline left to go for a 4th lift.
600 4th lift miss – missed at that top. Couldn’t get my hips through to lock it out.


Total = 1443 (PR)
