3/18 Events

Today we did the events for the USAWA Eastern Postal Meet.

Feet in the air bench.

315 - good
345 - good
365 - good, PR

I've obviously forgotten how to use leg drive when my feet in the air bench is within 10% of my regular bench.

Front Squat

370 - good
420 - good, PR
460 - fail

I should have taken a slightly smaller jump. 420 went up pretty easy though.

Continental to Belt
If there is one lift that I will probably never, ever train and only do in competitions when I have to it is this one. I hate it.

370 - good
410 - good
430 - fail
I tried 430 again just to see if I could get it and got it without too much trouble.

Overall I feel pretty good about the lifts. If I would have taken a little bit smaller jump on the front squats and got it and got the first attempt at 430 CtB I would have won the BCC this month. I suppose that I can't fell too bad about it when I outweigh everyone by around 70 pounds and I have been very close to winning, even with coefficients, the last couple times.

Farmers walk with heavy handles
245 x 60 feet
295 x 60 feet
345 x 20 or 25 feet. I should have walked the other way down the driveway to see how far I could have gone, but I ran out of room. I'm also going to call this closer to 350 a hand, because I think the handles are actually 247 or so a piece.
This was probably the highlight of the day for me. 6 months ago I would not have been able to pick these up, the pick wasn't fast by any means, but I think I even had a little more left in me.

Prowler
5 sets of 60' down and back, low handles down, high back.
