USAPL Ohio Powerlifting Bench Press and Ironman Championship.

Weighed in at 195.6.

Squat.
1st attempt: 390 (good)
2nd attempt: 415 (good)
3rd attempt: 435 (good)

Bench.
1st attempt: 280 (good)
2nd attempt: 300 (miss)
3rd attempt: 300 (good)

Deadlift.
1st attempt: 475 (good)
2nd attempt: 500 (good)
3rd attempt: 525 (good)

Total: 1260

Overall I was pretty happy with how things went. The last time I lifted RAW at 198 I went 405-275-475 for a 1155 total, so I was happy with the improvement, especially considering how random my training has been. I finally got my RTS manual on friday, and can allready see how much it's going to help just by reading the first 3 chapters. I'm looking forward to making some serious progress over the next year. RTS here I come.

I've read through 7 chapters of the RTS Manual so far. It is brilliant. I've never been more excited to train before. Unfortunately, I let my eagerness get the best of me today, and my volume was too low, and the intensity was too high, but at least I know that now! Being sick didn't help either, but that is what fatigue stops are for!
