My virgin meet.

Yesterday was my virgin meet. Weighed in at 89.55kg for U93kg category. Good experience lifting on the platform, was a different experience. Took away a few things from the meet:

1) Squat deeper. 

My 150kg opener got one red flag. Shook my confidence by a bit even though the weight was light. My left knee was still hurting perhaps that is why my subconscious mind prevented me from going lower. 3 red flag for my 2nd attempt at 160kg (was doing doubles with it for a few weeks back) make me went conservative for my 3rd and hit my 160kg. 

2) More lockout

My 130kg and 140kg flew up, but I have hit 140kg before and even 145kg, went all or nothing with my 150kg. But lockout still got the better of me. Watching my video, realize my left arm did not push as much as my right, shall focus on that. Speed off the chest is good, only need to watch my sticking point. More tricep hell and board presses from now on.

3) Deadlift more

Got my first legit over 200kg lift (not a gym lift) with my 2nd attempt of 210kg. Flew up. Technique still shit. A lot more back and hips too high. Already know these but kept chasing numbers instead of form. Some fucked up ego there. Lowering down the weights to work on my form from now on. 

Honestly, a tad bit disappointed in myself for not getting my 530kg total as planned. If I had squat deeper, would have went for my 170kg squat for my 3rd attempt. Also, was rushed and had only 2 tries for my deadlift and since 210kg felt easy, would have went for a 220kg for my 3rd attempt since I have gotten 215kg even before the cube. But with all that said, a lot more learning and work to do. Shall start leaning down to 86kg, hopefully maintaining as much strength as possible, and prepare for SPO14.
