This by no means takes away from Trish who lifted amazing especially considering she had worked night shifts all week. She is a great lifter and will be representing Team Canada with me at the Worlds in November.
Bottom line is that I missed numbers that I have hit in the gym. BS!
No knee pain, which I am thankful for as the officials decided to remove the use of knee sleeves in the competition just before warm up. This may have messed me up a little, as I was under the impression that they were permitted, so I had been training with them mainly for the purposes of keeping my knees warm and happy. I think without them I sqatted TOO deep....Live and learn.
Although... this doesn't answer the question of what the hell happened to my bench and dead lift!!!! Apparently conventional was the way to go as I missed my second DL attempt using sumo stance, and pulled it conventional on my last attempt.
Best lifts were: Squat 303lbs (2nd attempt)
Bench 215lbs (2nd attempt)
DL 369lbs (3rd attempt)
Wilks of 398.5.
Anyways, it was still a fun day and a great weekend of lifting. Congrats to Paul for his 3-peat OSM title, and all the other guys who busted ass in the Ontario Strongest Man competition. It's always interesting hanging out with a bunch of gorillas.
The only "classic" women lifters on Friday, Trish Ross-Boyle and I.
Back to the gym!
