The next day
well its been a full day since my disappointing showing in powerlifting comp. I did place, I didn’t remember if I had said that before, but the disappointment came from my own expectations. Well after reflecting I completely understand the importance of starting off light now. You get to name your next weight, so to anyone thinking of doing a power comp always start with a weight you own, like what you can push for 3 or 4 reps in the gym. Get those numbers on the board and then go for a weight you do for 2 reps, then that 1 rep number you did last week in training. This is what I failed to understand and do yesterday. I don’t claim to have alot of experience with competition, so I still learn things like most everyone else does. In this set case, the next day I understand strategy of your lifts. STRENGTH & HONOR

You gotta do what you love and are passionate about. If its powerlifting, then do that. Why stress over a bb comp? Watch the strongman comps, they don’t give 2 shits about how big their pecs are or if they have symmetrical quads. I personally am just planning on putting on a shitload of mass over the next few years and then taking a look at what to do then. I don’t think trying to do both bb and pwrlifting at the same time will be easy. Take care - keep your head in it. - allan

Gad’aye Mike, sounds like the competition didn;t go too well. I can read though, that you have recognized where you have gone wrong. I hope you learn from this experience. Stay focused now and strive for a better result in your next comp.
