It's been ages since I updated on my powerlifting journey, so what's been happening? I did my second competition Last July in fact. It was the Gloucester and Wiltshire Championships. It was good to get out and compete again, and I felt well prepared by Ryan from Project Barbell. Good news: I put 40kg on my previous meet total. Which I was pretty happy about. Annoyances: I was disqualified on my 100kg squat (a pb I'd never even attempted before) for reracking the bar too fast *DOH* and my third deadlift was a bit sloppy. I got 6/9 lifts. I came away from that meet realising I needed to work harder at getting my head in the game, and not being either stressed or distracted in the competition environment.
