Thanks, Scott.

Doing a push pull meet this weekend. Kinda disapointed theres no squats, but this is my first meet and it'll give me a good idea of my numbers and what to expect when i compete this fall at a full meet.
going for 585 on deads and 385 on bench for my final attempt at 220 lbs

I was told to do something that I can hit easily for 4-5 in the gym just to get on the board so I am opening with 495 and 315.
I just uploaded it today but this was my first time pulling sumo a little over a month ago. changed a few things since then and it feels much better and 545 was pretty damn easy the other day

Why did you switch to sumo?

I started having back problems every time I pulled conventional and I haven't had any pain since I switched. And my coach told me with my build, I would get a lot more leverage.
Makes sense. I've been a sumo puller since day 1.
What federation is putting on the event?

I love it. I still do some of my lighter work with conventional but anything 70% and above is sumo.
and theres no federation or sanction its just a backyard meet at my local gym. I wasnt planning on doing a meet till this fall, but three weeks ago I decided it would be nice to do a small one and get a little experience

I hit all three attempts on deadlift and really should have gone heavier. They were going to give us a 4th attempt for shits and gigs but the weather did not look too good. I would have tried for 605 and I think I could have gotten it.
585 pull: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKr09Ye2iOw=youtube[/ame]
My first attempt on bench was 345 and I hit that pretty easy, second attempt was 365 and I hit the wrong spot on my chest and missed it. I went for it again on my third and got it. I was so worn out by this point in the day from losing so much water weight in a week that I was just ready to sleep.
Overall had a great time, learned a lot, met a lot of people and I'm very happy with my results. Im pretty sore today and still carb depleted so i guess ill have to eat pancakes for breakfast again. Powerlifting is a lot more fun than bodybuilding lol
