What a crazy weekend in Toronto with flooding and tragic public shootings.
In the meantime, and on a better note, UF was kicking ass at the Super show!
Paul came out on top at the Invitational Strongman competition. It was a little hairy for a bit, as his competitors are getting better all the time. Good thing he is too.
For us powerlifters, we all lifted really well and won best club. I don't remember everyone's numbers, but I think we all are pretty happy with our results. I do know that Shelby got a PR competition bench, and Dane got a PR in his squat.
I didn't get any footage of my lifts unfortunately, as Paul was busy getting ready to compete, (or should I say busy flirting with the Inside Fitness girls...), but was successful 8 out of 9 lifts only missing my last bench attempt of 220lbs. Super long pause on the chest humbles me quite a bit.
Otherwise, I finished my squat with 320lbs with some room, benched 214lbs, and DL'ed 380lbs. The squat is a PR, and the DL is also a PR, especially pulling conventional.
Pretty happy with my lifts, mainly wanted to be conservative and go 9 for 9, but fell a little short unfortunately.
I have been advised to take some time from double leg squatting and heavy pulling for at least 4 weeks to get my pelvis back in line. I am willing to take this time in hopes that bigger and better things will come. I'm basically training with the emergency brake on, so hopefully once I focus on getting things straightened out my lifts will progress that much more.
Although, honestly not looking forward to many training days of split squats and lunges....I will be walking funny for sure.
Hey Sarah! Congrats on your PRs and your teams performance! Taking a month off of deadlifting isn't the worst thing in the world... you'll probably feel amazing after the break. I can't wait to meet and train with you guys when I come to Canada at the end of this month! eeeeeeekkkkk!!!! SO EXCITED for CANADA Day!
ReplyDeleteSarah, Great lifting! Tell Paul 'congrats' too. Who recommended the time off from double leg squatting/heavy pulling and suggested split sqs and lunges? My pelvis is out of line as well and my dl has been in the crapper for the last 2 years because of it.
ReplyDeleteSame here! I really hope we can get together. It might be a busy weekend for us, but here's hoping.
ReplyDeleteHey Tom, I will send you a message!
