Post Edited: 05.02.2012 @ 13:04 PM by d_singh bradford uni27/1/12 day before cut water out at around 2 pm was stressing the day before as i was worried about making weight. decided to spend the evening at the holiday in hotel sitting in the sauna and jacuzzi. spent the first 30 min between the treadmill, cross trainer and rower. moved onto the jacuzzi for 30 mins before doing 10 - 5 mins stints in the sauna ( sauna is tough ). by the end of it i weighed just over 65/66 kg on my scales. got all night to lose more and have already cut water . weighed myself again in the middle of the night 65kg bang on .deffo should be in. really struggled to sleep and had no clue what time i drifted off...however i did sleep which is good for me. didnt feel to bad in the morning and was weighing in at 65. feeling dehydrated tho and needed a drink comp weighed in at 67.1 with undies yes well under . has a nice entourage to support me consisting of dad, jon, tom , jon and cousing from bradfordsquat not sure what i would lift so decided to be conservative 150 passed felt slower then expected hmmmm 162.5 failed wtf . was not expecting that. family had just surprisingly arrived after the lift and i so wanted to put on a good performance for myself. 162.5 passed tried again. this time i widened my stance so i could use hips more (like i use to do ) wow this was easy, why did i not do this in the first place ! 170 was there bench warm up felt good so decided to open at 105 105 passed 112.5 failed battled just half way , felt it was there so close 112..5 failed same oh well deadlift 190 passed felt slower then expected. lifted in a more controlled way (not sure if wise ) 202.5 passed. decided to do the more explosive snappy method which has worked previously. again this was so much easier. used nose tork which helped207.5 failed .. ran out of steam here. if i had done the snappy method on the first lift, reckon with the extra confidence a 210 was there overall an enjoyable comp. totaled 475 which is not much more then my last comp but lots more was there. glad i made weight and have qualified for the british in april. hopefully the cutting process will be easier each time with the experience of doing it twice now, also found what comp technique works and will stick to it cant wait to get back to training. | |||
