It is Les mate, I should be lifting in the 90's.
My scales are saying 88.5 - 89 kg but I don't know what calibrated ones will say.

560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq		South Yorks Unequipped Sat 6th June 09

Weighed in at 108.3kg after a breakfast of cereal & milk & protein powder.

Squats
160kg x f (depth)
160kg
170kg
Unracked the bar for the opener and the centre referee told me to re rack. I was told the bar was too low on my back which was a real mindf**k as I've been training with the bar in that position for 5 months!!. Anyway the remaining squats were done in what will be my new higher bar position from now onGrin
Definitely feel that if I'd got my first lift in I'd have got 180kg today as the 170 was by no means a limit lift.

Bench
90kg
100kg
105kg x f
The 100 felt easy and was going to go for 110 but thought no, play safe, and blow the 105 up which felt strong off the chest but I let it drift towards my head too early and it stalledConfused Unhappy

Deadlift
210kg
220kg
227.5kg xf
210 and 220 felt comfortable, and the 500lb slipped from my fingertips at lockout which is weird as my grip has never showed any signs of giving out at lesser weights, in retrospect I should have maybe spent more time setting up and ensuring my grip was tighter from the startRoll-Eyes

My dream goals for the day were 180, 110 and 227.5 with my main objectives being 170, 100, 220 solid lifts to build from again which I achieved, so job done and a 45kg Competition PB from my first comp last yearHappy
So looking back I was disappointed yesterday missing the opportunity to try 180 squat and missing the 227.5 by such a close margin but looking at it this morning it's upwards and onwards and working my butt off for another 45kg + increase to the total next year. Oh by the way I came first in the 110'sHappy
Les (40_plus )off Sugdenbb.com had a great days lifting and it was great to meet him from the site.
I finished lifting about 5.45pm which semed a long day but it was worth it to watch some excellent lifting from the lighter guys. All in all a well organised Comp which ran really smoothly and thanks to the organisers, loaders and lifters who got the lifters really fired up, thanks also to Barry Nelson for his technical advice regarging improving my squat (after taking the piss and telling me how crap my technique is)Grin Wink
Easy week next week then back on the 5 3 1 with the emphasis on fat loss (and maintaining / building strength) until September, then build again, lots of work to do on technique, particularly squat and bench. Will post vids of all lifts asap.
Cheers
Mike

642.5 kgs @ 89.1kgs UnEq		Well done yesterday Mike, good to meet you.
Sorry I didn't get to see most of your lifts I was warming up in the back.
I saw your last deadlift and I thought you'd nailed it just as it slipped out of your hands.
I thought the comp was really good and well organised, the buffet and presentation afterwards was a very nice touch, I'll definitely be coming to a South Yorks comp again.
