IPF Jr Worlds 2012

Squats:
120 x3
*belt
155 x3
*wraps
185 x2
212.5 x2
*bottoms
235 x2
*straps
270 x1
Warmup was minimal but sufficient.

Opener: 290kg
After watching the video I realized that it moved amazing.  Looking like I coulda hit it if 330 was on my back!

Second: 305kg
Definitely lost the upper back and chest came down a bit but it still came up fine

Third: 312.5kg MISS
Just sat back too far and lost my balance backwards.  Strength was definetely there without any question.  Next time.


Bench...
70 x3
100 x3
125 x2
160 x2 - 2bd
*shirt
185 x3 - felt good but I almost touched somehow?
205 x1 - touch????  Lowered opener to 215kg
Then realized I was out of time so yanked out the suit slippers and went out...

Well I always say 'train how you compete'.  Learned my own lesson today.  I never bother pulling out the suit slippers until today.  What happened?  Well thanks to a strong man helping me out, the reason I was touching is that the shirt was on farther than usual.  THEN, we pull out the slippers and it moves up like 1 inch....  Ergo, carryove on top range of motion was nothign.

215 - missed it three times

For deadlifts my head just wasn't in it so I went:
260
272.5x - when I got the bar I grabbed it with just my fingers on the right hand.  Should have stood up and tried again.  Strength was there no problem
277.5x - lost the bar forward.  Strength was there for sure.

Well live and learn!  First wordls, unfathomably dissapointing but I guess that's why they hold them ever year!  Thanks again to all the people who have helped me and to Jessie and the family for being here to support me.  Will be doing some raw training for 5 months now to get the body back on track, and we will see what happens in 2013.

    That's why I put my own shirt on. Had the same issue in the past, someone different putting on my shirt at meets. Even in the gym, it was always going on different. I put it on myself now.

    You lifted well though, Adam. If you touched with 205, you should have lowered to 205. I think that's the bigger lesson learned here. Still could have gotten to 227.5 or 230+, just a bigger jump from the opener.

    Be dynamic on meet day also.

    The way the 290 opener moved was fantastic. I giggled like a school girl, thought you would have jumped to 310 as I figured 320 was guaranteed.

    Keep training hard. You need a redemption meet now!
