Deadlift meet results

[Finn]

Weighed in at 264, which is right where I wanted to be.

Warmups
135x3
235x1
325x1

Attempts
555x1 Good speed off ground, no issues.
605xm Stalled at knees.
605xm No gas left in the tank.

Disapointed that I didn't hit the 605, but this gives me an idea of where I need to focus for my state meet in December. On the plus side, a guy I have a friendly rivalry with opened at 550 & got it but couldn't hit his 2 attempts at 600. So...I WIN. <img src="http://www.nirvana2.com/smilies/bounce2.gif" alt="Bounce2" width="40" height="62"><!--graemlin::bounce2:-->

I'll hit deads in the gym Friday morning & post the workout.

at least you beat the other dude, maybe recheck your diet the last few days, and the day of your meet, you know you have the power, you might just have been low with fuel.. good job and keep tearing it up bro..

how much rest are you taking during the week in your training splits?

Rome wasn't built in a day and you can beat the best if you put your mind, heart, and body into it. Keep up the training bro.

My last training of any sort was Saturday the 6th, and that was squats. Normally I train back about every 6-8 days depending on my work schedule. I am sure that my diet had some impact as I was a bit bad on Saturday, but nothing worse then I've done prior to meets in the past. I think the biggest issue was mental. The focus just wasn't where it should have been. My intensity was good (not great) but my focus on the bar/weight was minamal given the meet.

Oh well. I appreciate the support everyone. I'll keep everyone posted on my training progress.

GOOD JOB BRO,
look at it as a learning experiance, stick those pins in the power rack just below the knees and go to town. the next meet you'll get 615.

you'll get it bro...no doubt about it.....we're behind you!

thats a lotta weight. What supps did you use to prepare for the meet? Any neuro enhancers?

Definitely do the partials with the ROM from the sticking point to lock out....At least throw them in fro a few hard sets w/your deads, not at the exception of full sets of course...

One thing that always has helped me break PR's in the dead is to do weighted hypers...They make a big difference for me...

Another thing I learned is to visualize your head being pulled backwards, as if a string is attached to the center of the back of your bean and it is pulling your head...That helped me use my hips more on the way past the knees...
