Hey all-
Well, the first 'pro' meet of my career is in the books. Though I was disappointed with my performance, I feel alot of things could've went better. Many said alot of things looked funny (I'm not just talking about 1 or 2 people!), but what's done is done and we move on to the next. I was happy to see lifters getting paid for their efforts; I think a few bad calls were made, but as we say around the 'hood, it's gone be alright!
I went 6/9 on the day (2/3-squat, 1/3 bench, 3/3 deadlift); and even though I believe one of my bench attempts was taken from me, I press the weight (350 lbs.) and proved to myself I could do it. I came out with a total of 1,330 lbs. and second place in my weight class, which I can accpet that. The young man that topped me totaled 1,375 lbs.; why be upset? Until he passes 1,427 lbs. Raw @ 148, we know who the 'MAN' really is!!
There are some good meets kickin' off 2010- Raw Unity Championships and APA Bench Press Nationals in January, followed by APA Raw Nationals in April! Lookin forward to results of each meet; the only I know for sure I will be competing in right now is the APA Raw Nationals. I'll be back in the gym next week after I heal & rest. So be prepared to see completely different Joe! I have flipped the script on 'the Show', and I guarntee when he steps foot on the platform again everyone will notice! Get your cameras ready... THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO START!!
