Last Week & Peach Days Meet
I tried something pre meet last week that was a bit different. Instead of laying off totally, I went in on my regular days and did a very light very abbreviated version of a normal session just to get the blood moving and improve flexiblity. It felt good to get out and move around and I didn't come close to doing too much.
AAU Peach Days / Sat @ the meet
Warmed up on the meet bench which was a plus. This was a Bovine with the pad top @ a little over 18". Tall which forced me to really rotate my hips hard for my short legs. I know I could put blocks out but I've never liked doing that. The pad had a really nice non slip top.
308 class Masters and Masters Lifetime 50-54 Raw Bench
Warm ups
?? x bar
?? x 135
1 x 225
1 x 275
1 x 315
1 x 335
Attempts
1 162.5 kg / 358# 2 whites (jumped the press command by a hair on the right side said the judge)
State and American record
2 170 kg / 374# Miss nothing there
3 170 kg / 374# Miss. Better but no close
The first attempt was fast but I didn't get much leg drive. I was concerned about my feet slipping on 2 and 3 and instead of just sacking up and letting it all hang out I let it get into my head. I should have been more conservative on 2 and gone with 167.5 kg / 369#. I've hit 365# in the gym 2 different times and each was very strong. I am improving in the gym and to a lesser extent in meets. There is work to do on the mental aspect.
Thanks to Terry Hawes AKA Powerape for the hand offs and support.
Not certain what the next meet will be. If I can get a sponsor I would like to go to the AAU World's in Laughlin in Dec. We shall see.
Good day over all. Set a mark but very easily improved upon.
Thanks to God for allowing me this great diversion. Thanks to Moosie, Parker, Jeff, Brian and Mike C for being great training partners. Ok Mike doesn't live here anymore but he's still included.

Congratulations Stump on your meet. That's a very nice accomplishment!
Thanks Gords. I had hoped for more but did what I went there to do.
Think you may dabble in competing again?
How's the Fam?
After dropping 50 pounds of body weight my bench has dropped probably 100 pounds. Perhaps after my drive for triathlon training dries up...
Family is doing great. Thanks
Gords
Great job at the meet Stump.
>>Thanks to God for allowing me this great diversion.
DITTO I completely agree.
