    Sorrow vs LexenXtreme Fall Classic Oct 6th

    1 week removed from what will be my 20th competition. For this one I decided to compete raw (with wraps). Which in the RPS is considered "raw modern". I qualified for the XPC semi finals multiply but honestly had so many disruptions to my lead up this that I wouldn't have been dialed in. But, I believe my training will/should always allow me to compete raw and show improvement with or without any gear. Besides I usually do one meet raw a year so I can give myself some honest numbers without the effect of different gear combos.

    Weight Class: 242
    Weight today: 244, feeling good only need to maintain for another 7 days and cut 2 lbs the day before.

    Goals:
    in the RPS a pro total is 1605. (pro is basicly un-drug tested. OR you can pay the extra $100 just to prove you're drug free. I'm not willing to shell out another $100 dollars when I'm not making any money on this)
    In the XPC an elite total is 1620.
    So I'm shooting for at least 1630 this time around.

    Openers:
    Squat: 540
    Bench: 365
    deadlift: 540
    I pick conservative openers just to play it safe. In my mind there is no excuse for me not to finish a meet. Its unthinkable and completely unacceptable to bomb out. Short of breaking a bone I'm all in, but I also believe in strategy and setting myself up for success. So I'm expecting some decent jumps between attempts. At this point I've finished every meet I have ever entered. And I've PR'd in every single competition after the first. I intend to keep that streak intact.

    Should be a great day we've got several guys from my gym all competing so should be plenty of energy to feed off of. Will post videos once its all said and done! Then I'm taking a mini vacation to Colorado and the rocky mountains to heal up.

    2 days away, weighed in at 242.6 this morning so I am right where I want to be. Today will make a large bowl of salad with chip chop ham (approximately 1500 cals total) and some toast to keep energy levels up. tomorrow night I will fast before the official weigh ins.

    Everything is going according to plan.

    Official bodyweight: 240.5

    Squats (with knee wraps)
    opener: 540 good
    second: 580 good (Raw meet PR)
    third: 605 miss

    Bench press
    opener: 365 good
    second: 405 good (Raw meet PR)
    third : 420 miss

    deadlift
    opener: 540 good
    second: 580 good (Raw meet PR)
    third: 600 good (Raw meet PR)

    Total: 1585 (Raw meet pr) not what I wanted or know I'm capable of though

    Well several new PR's but just didn't put it together today. Felt something starting to strain inner quad/ groin area on my left side on the second squat, and really didn't have it for the third. No excuse the calls where deep but consistent across the board. Never really felt like I had my legs under me. I was fired up and looking to make up some ground on the bench. The 405 felt great, had a massive cramp and missed the 420. Should have been more aggressive with my rehydrating.. or just got really drunk.. one of those. Ultimately didn't want to push the leg as I could/can see the bruises forming on my inner thigh. figured I'd keep working towards the 600 raw as thats kind of a bench mark pull in my opinion. We stayed with the plan for the deadlift and got them all in short order.

    Was a great meet, very well run! Take some time off from training probably a week or two then back in the pitt.. I will get stronger!

    I should have the videos up in the next day or two
