It is the day before the meet and I am right at my competitive bodyweight (165 lbs)...feeling good. I haven't trained since last Saturday and even then, I was only testing my squat suit. I did run into a problem this week with work as we pulled one allnighter which wreaked havic on my sleep. With that and cutting weight, I am a little tired but will suck it up.
While my lifts will ultimately depend on how I feel tomorrow, here are my initial goals:
1. Qualify for Nationals - this requires a 1400 total. The only reason I do not get this is if I bomb out...which will NOT happen.
2. Achieve an Elite Total - this requires a 1527 total. This will take a few USAPL personal records but not out of the question.
3. Break a 1600 lb Total - This will only occur if I go 9 for 9. It is a bit of a lofty goal for an athlete that hasn't competed in this federation for some time. But I can do it if I hit PR's on all three lifts. If it doesn't happen Saturday, no worries...I will get it another time.
Good times.
