Ross, I haven't been keeping up with your journal (or anyone else's for that matter). But I just caught up. I had no idea you were entering a meet this weekend too. Mine's in Lewiston, NY which is a town very close to Niagara Falls, it's about an hour from where I live. First meet for both of us too.

I had to buy my singlet, a large, I just found out a few days ago I needed one. They're pretty rare to find in a store because wrestling season started a while ago. I would have preferred an XL but I was lucky to find the large.

I hear you about the weight, especially being the first meet, it should be all about the experience and setting a baseline to improve on, but I want to win my division and the next class is strong guys like you at 195. :)

Good luck on getting that 1000 lbs. It looks like you'll nail it if you hit your planned second attempts.

Thanks man. Best of luck to you also.

i thought yours was next weekend ross? either way....best of luck to both of ya's.

All this talk of Powerlifting Meets is really making me want to do one :D

Best of luck to both of you!

Notes:
Meet on Saturday, so a real short easy workout. I figured OH Squats would be a good choice to get the whole body involved. Since I've been losing weight all week, I just had to feel my opening weight again to be sure I have some strength. It felt a tad heaver than Monday, but it went up no problem.

I heard on the radio this morning that it's Tony Iommi's birthday today, and it gave me the idea to crank some Iommi on the iPod while working out. It's been awhile since I listened to Sabbath or Iommi. Too bad the workout was so short...maybe I'll finish listening to it tonight. :)

ya know...i have fused...by iommi and hughes...and i tried listening to it last night. real hit and miss for me...do you have that one?

Yeah, I have Fuse somewhere, I know I downloaded it, but I don't recall what it's like. I was listening to the album that's just called Iommi. Each song is sung by different vocalists, Henry Rollins, Dave Groel (sp?) Ozzy, Billy Corgan are some of them. Not his best work, but it's the only Iommi/Sabbath I have on my pod right now.

Nice OH's

Good luck with the meet.

Thanks Talo, Kane and Pity. I heard someone that my friend knows may be taping the meet. If I can get a hold it, you guys can see me in action.

nothing would please us more phil :)
