I was there. Not sure I'll go back again. Certainly lots of stuff going on. But the mass of humanity that is the EXPO along with 95% of it being supplement pushers...I'd had enough.
Was cool to see the age group Olympic lifters.
But I've seen enough roided up people ( pros and "average" joes ) for a while.
Nick,
I started warm/ups and wasn't feeling real strong/shaky.tested my sugar and it was at 250 so I had to give my self a shot in the the warm up area[guys must have thought i was a juicers].by the time I got back to finish my warm-ups I was 3 out from my 1st squat,last warm-up was 345 and my opener was 435.
Missed my 1st 2 attempts[depth]Pressure was on went to 445 and buried it.
bench-297 good
314 good
325 just missed lockout
deadlift
465-smoked
501-light weight baby
Went to 545 trying to get to 1300,missed, that boy got heavy real quick.
All in all great time with my son.
Here is a pick Arnold getting ready for his 1st attempt. http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww346/jmonahos/IMG_0563.jpg
Wondered why the 22kg jump on your final deadlift, but trying for 1300 makes sense.
Really impressive lifting, especially the squat. Way to come through in the clutch.
Old dudes rule!
Tom,
Good to see your still out there,any meets left in the old stud.
I'm doing a unsanctioned meet in 2 weeks to take care of some unfinished business
Well done on getting the squat with the pressure on. Looks like the 1300 is on for next time ... 452 (205) + 325 (147.5) + 524 (237.5) = 1301 (590)???
Sorry, just playing about with the figures.
will be getting under way in about a month and there are five meets I'm considering over the next few months.
Training for throwing the discus now.
Thought about hitting a PL meet this month when I was trapped inside by the snow, but those urges have subsided since the sun has come out and I'm able to get outside.
Got to hang out with Lee Haney and Eddie Coan for awhile. Picture taken with Arnold. Stuff like that...but man, I couldn't go anywhere! The crowd was intense! Saw a bit of the PL...but that was it! No spectacular lifting....

Pretty cool to have a picture taken with a legend of the iron game!
Arnold must have been well pleased...
