Good write up OG. So you know you have room to move up squatting, I have had the exact same experience benching more than once including my last meet. The percentage of people going 3 for 3 benching always seems to me to be lower than for the other two lifts so I think it is a fairly common occurrence.
What you describe on your third pull is also pretty common. Getting this one under your belt should help you next time on the pulls. Again congratulations on a strong first meet.

Congratulations, Paul!
Glad you got your 1st one done and still have a shiny goal to go after. You already have 1000# in you. It’ll be there for the next one!
And with 2 successful DL’s under your belt, there was nothing foolish about going for it on the 3rd. After all, 1000# is the goal!
Great job![/quote]
Thanks Big Man…appreciate you pushing me

Good work in here man .
What was your weight for the Meet?
Are you still training those kids ?
Sorry I’m so late but great job at the meet and nice write up too. Please feel positive about your performance because it looks like you took a conservative and rational approach with choosing your attempts and executing well. Everyone that competes knows that things don’t always go as planned and for your first meet I will say you did excellent. Hope you enjoyed the experience and you do many more meets.

Mr Fischer its good to have you back in the hood. I weighed in at 175… As far as the kids I believe you are thinking of OP ( Oldman Powers)andhe hasn’t been seen in these parts forever.
