Stop sandbagging me mate! Qualifying is a mere formality for you on your way to a top 3 finish and possibly a win.

let me tell you a quick story(ok not that quick) about being realistic, going into the 2009 nas nationals i hadn't won a show and hadn't been training very long my friends asked me how i thought i would do, so being realistic i said if i get top 5 i would be happy, i get to nationals and have a good day i'm in 2nd place after 4 events by a few points i just needed to not make a huge mistake well thats what happened two big mistakes on the stones cost me point and guess where i ended up you got it 5th place that's where being realistic got me.. after that show i knew i could compete at the national leve,l so despite how cocky this my sound, i started telling everyone i was the strongest 200lber in the country, was it realistic at the time hell no, but putting it out there made me believe i could do anything, and as we all know i proved it in 2010....

So the point to that long post is STOP BEING REALISTIC


here's my realistic nationals video damn i was weak lol

560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq		very strong deadlifting.

for a non squatter thats a lot of weight to be using in your first session,you might need go a bit deeper though ,last year at Esm the squat was judged by powerlifting rules so for a squat to count you have to break paralell.

It was a bit stricter than that IMO, had to clearly break parallel . Luckily my ass hits the floor!
