So heres the deal. I was tied for 2nd after squats and bench (1st place was locked up and there was no chance to catch her). In my very 1st meet with competition I had to employ strategy (with the help of Garrin Clark and Cj Reed). Her (the woman I was tied for 2nd with) 1st and 2nd attempts were higher than mine. Right before I was up I changed my attempt to the next weight higher than hers. Ooh sneaky!! She was expecting my name to be called, because I was originally meant to lift before her. Because I changed my weight I got bumped to lift after her! They called her name and she didnt know what the hell was going on LOL. The judge said to her, youre up! She pulled 383 and it was a good lift. The next weight up from that was 402. Ive pulled 352 once, 355 once, and 375 once...but I had to go big and hit 402 to beat her. I picked it up, but got stuck somewhere halfway up. So close! So many people were cheering their butts off for me!! Funny enough none of us can remember what my 2nd attempt was but I think it was 369 lol. I am beyond thrilled that I went for it. Im extremely proud that I was able to maintain laser beam focus, and attacked every lift with intense passion. I feel like I truly redeemed myself with three strong squats, which hasnt always been my friend LOL. All three lifts were meet PRs, and by a lot in squats and bench. I have the best team and Im so proud to be a part of it. Im totally riding on cloud 9! There was also wonderful camaraderie between many of the lifters and I made lots of new friends. New meet total of 908.9. Im coming for 1000 💪 Time to relax, shower, EAT, and have some drinks 😁 Thank you again to everyone who wished me well and congratulated me. It really means a lot! Im going to deadlift again on Saturday, and Im going to go for a new meet PR!
