Bench wars write-up
I have judge the first flight and saw some great lifting...it's always fun to watch another team getting excited about each other's lift and today it was Quest Gym from Cornwall.
second flight
warm-up was good
last warm-up raw 315 flew up easy
455 in the shirt, form was good.
opener 551...felt i had lost my arch and the pressure made me fell dizzy but i had it easy.
second attempt 600.8...tried to stay as tight as i could. I really wanted that lift and i had it real good. So happy about it.
Third 628...i did'nt know what to expect so i did what i had to do but on the way up i lack the energy to finish it.
I had a good time lifting today....getting 600 in a meet is a big thing that i am really proud. Two years ago when i did my first meet at Montreal Barbell i had a PR bench with 385... now i have put up 215 pounds on my bench and did it drug free...
I am happy about Ross, Alex and Shawna getting meet PR bench. Ross 512 was great to see, you could see that he wanted that one. And Shawna's form was incredible to watch...big arch and strong lock-out. She had 350 in her...next time. Alex did a 55 pounds meet PR in a month of benching with us at montreal barbell with a 515 bench. He is getting insanely strong...22 years old!
Chris and Mike did'nt had the meet they wanted but i know for sure that they will work hard and be back stronger. And i will be there to help them....this is what happen when you lift with THE team! :)
Now i will need to get use to bench weight over six cause i am not done yet....no i am not :)
Watching Curd smash 650 was great too...with some technique work and tighter shirt, he will do over 700 very soon!
