So, I'm heading back down to my maintenance weight of 145 lbs, and may drop to 142 lbs if I'm feeling good at 145. I'm debating between competing in the 63k or 69k classes, so 142-145 will put me somewhere in the middle. I'll probably be about 11-12% in that weight range. I'm finding it's easier as I get older to stay leaner (I'm 33); I think it's actually harder when you're younger and have more estrogen.

jj, you're my hero. OL is the sport to end all sports. I hope you'll keep us up to date on your success. Figure and OL are entirely different instruments...like violin and tuba. My fingers are crossed and locked in white-knuckle concentration---I 'm betting on jj the olympic lifter!
