525 miss

Very happy and upset at the same time, happy that the 475 went up so well and that the 525 went up so quickly and almost to lockout, upset that I didn't finish it and actually get it. I was determined to get it. Next time, maybe will bench at the meet if the meet preparations go well and I have time to go and bench during the meet.

Scott MacDiarmid, Jamie Seguin, BIG Leo Tilli, Carmine, Joanick Boilard, Chris Skoda, Shawna and me. Shawna practiced ramping up with bigger jumps to reduce the amount of work done in warming up and it worked really well, did her opener of 250 perfectly. Jamie hit a great 500 lb bench pr, we have no idea what his max will be... Scott played with his opener and his second lift both 500 lbs +. Good atmosphere, focus and great lifting. Meets have a way of focusing people.
