I competed in the Beast of the Bluegrass this past weekend in Lawrenceburg, KY. It was a good competition with a lot of very strong guys haha I placed 5th, one point out of 4th. There were 9 total competitors in my weight class.
I had a good day for me personally... I was the 5th to go in every event and would do good and think that I was going to make up ground, but then the next few guys would be a little faster or pump out a few more reps haha. I have been off for 6 weeks and was happy with the strength that I kept going into this competition. Though it is time to put on some more strength for the coming events It was a platinum competition, so I was hoping to get top 3 to qualify in the 231lb class for nationals. I am already qualified in the 265lb weight class from a earlier competiton, but I am not ready for nationals in the 265 yet haha

I was going good through 6 reps, I lost my balance a little and that threw my whole rhythm off

220lb to 65"
240" to 60"
275 to 55"
300 to 50
330 to 45
For some reason I have not been able to load the 330 lately. Its very discouraging, because just in December I was loading a 400lb stone. I have no top end anymore as you can see in the last stone. I use to be able to power that up...
Overall it was a good day.
P.S. Sorry its all separate videos. I dont know how to consolidate them into one haha if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it
