2010 JBLM Bench & Deadlift Competition:

Bodyweight: 164.9 lbs
Weight Class: 165 lbs

Bench Press: 3rd Place
Attempt #1: 300 lbs-Good
Attempt #2: 315 lbs-Good
Attempt #3: 330 lbs-Fail

Deadlift: 1st Place
Attempt #1: 430 lbs-Good
Attempt #2: 465 lbs-Good
Attempt #3: 505 lbs-Good

*I was on a good one at this competition!
Despite sleeping only 3 hours & partying
the night before...BeastMode kids!! I weighed
in at an easy 164.9 lbs,
I didn't have
to cut any weight at all which was nice. I think I
had 6 competitors at my 165 lb weight class.
There was some bench monsters but none could
put up any big deadlifts where it
counts. Tried 330 lbs
in my 3rd attempt but got
stuck at lockout again. My
deadlifts haven't felt
this great since my powerlifting
days, a whole year
ago! My goal was to just hit 500 lbs,
I should of tried
it in my 2nd attempt. 430 & 465 were
so easy & 505
was a joke! I still had another 20-30 lbs
in the
tank for more. Right now I'm peaking at the right
time
for Nationals & now it's mentally preparing myself
the rest of the remaining weeks. Be Relentless...Be
BeastMode!!

*Feelin good these days, programing is at its
best leading up to contest. Started taking a new
supplement a few days ago...Jack3d. Works well
so far, it has the essentials that I like: kre-alkalyn,
caffeine, beta-alanine, arginine & other stimulants
to get your CNS & muscles right! After the workout
I weighed out at 164 lbs, I haven't been this light
since I left for college which was post surgery days.
I've come along way since then, rebuilding my baby
shoulder & reconditioning my body to handle these
demands that I do today. For those who have goals
of what they want to be or where they would like to be,
it's a long journey that takes time. Consistent time in
the gym will pay off at the end, there's no short cuts here.
Be patient & allow for the progression of your training to
take you to the next level of your goals & desires. Again,
Be Relentless...

My P-Chain has made a comeback after some
neglecting. Did a Chipper met-con then rested &
refueled my body. Went to McVeigh for some Oly
lifting, worked on some cleans & pressing with
push presses & push jerks. Messed around with
the split clean again, I feel way more explosive with
that style. Right now I feel right on schedule with
Nationals & can't wait to compete!

felt easier than it has before, I think my training
right now is spot on & I'm not worried about training
too much with the actual implements. Even though
it would make it easier on myself but I think my program
