Round 1
105 vs 100, TK for the win against Robert. Steph used 65 and squealed and dropped hers after about 3 seconds.

Round 2
125 vs 115, Robert for the win. I got lulled into the classic rock tunes on the radio and started singing. Lost all concentration. Damn you Journey. Steph used 50's and squealed and dropped hers after 4 seconds.

Conv Deadlifts
Up to 192.5, I think. Can't remember the exact weight. Conv is too hard and I may have blacked out 5-6 times from over-exertion.

2014 Easterns

An excellently executed meet. 3 lifters from Team HAF(Robert, Steph, Tom), 27 attempts, 1 missed 3rd attempt dl that was still locked out. Almost flawless. This effort on the heels of 25 successful attempts at the NL open (Matt, Campbell, Steph).

Squat
First time using the SBD knee sleeves
200-212.5-217.5

Bench
115-125-132.5

Deadlift
235-250-260

Weighed in at 73.7 and set 11 National records.

Once again I see so many potentially good lifters settle for mediocrity. Most are ill-prepared - poor weight cutting, poor openers based on training in ideal conditions at a heavier bodyweight, and poor attempt selection. And many of these lifters have "coaches". Pathetic.

I'll take hard training with proper rest, realistic goal setting and white lights in favour of over training and pop tarts after weigh in.

Saturday Training

PR's for everyone today. 2 weeks out from the NL Open meet on Oct 18th. Trained with Campbell, Grandy, Steph, and Robert.

Recent Training

Pulled 247.5 dl last week, body weight 172. Didn't fall down.
Bench is in the crapper.
Squat is predominantly sexy highbar.

My whole goal now is to stay ahead of Matt and Robert in each lift(even if I don't bench, I should be fine for at least a year) and beat Steph in any and all core work(again, hasn't been a challenge).
