Training for upcoming events?

[Mr_math]

Anyone training for any upcoming PL/SM events? If so how far out are you and what class are you planning on competing in?

I was planning on competing in the strongman portion of the lowlander event in Newport, OR. In the lightweight class. But after finding out its a platinum event I will be skipping this and just training over the winter. Will be competing next year for the first time and will plan on silver/gold for my first event in strongman.

May add in some raw PL event for fun but not my primary focus for competing.

I have a PL meet (APF) on December 8th. Most likely going to be competing at 220 in full gear.

[Mr_math]

Nice!! What are your goals for the meet???

Well I guess i'll be the first ohio man to chime in.
Next meet should be early march 2013. I plan on going back up to 242 lbs weight class full power equipped. But I have been feeling good at 220. I'll most likely start training log on here for that meet once it's finalized.

My last meet was RPS ohio state meet at lexen, competed in 220 (218lbs) full power, pro 1650 total.

Yoooooo airborne. What meet is it???

I think I'm gonna compete raw up here at Epc in march. Won't be anything outlandish but it will be my first meet haha.

[Sorrow]

Hell yeah guys, March is a good time to do one imo. Gives you plenty of time to get ready and dial in your lifts.

Yeah that's kinda how I'm feeling. Everything is progressing well. I needed this boost after going back to square 1 on squat and deads.

[Airborne42]

Haha my bad its in Medford. I'll be pulling for sure and benchin if my shoulder will hold up. Pulled a raw 700 haven't been able to hit it since so took it off this week. Tuesday ill try again

[Mr_math]

Nice man. Hope that week off helps and that shoulder acts right for you. Not sure where my eye is set just yet. But I'm goin for my bests. Won't be pulling 700 though. :)
