Bending the Bar 7 is complete!
—
My goal for this meet was to test out a cut to 132lbs/60kg and see how I could recomp & perform on meet day. It was a ROUGH cut. Specifically Friday morning. I woke up at 134lbs & managed to get down to 132lbs/59.9kg by weighins. Recomp went really well and I woke up back at 139 🫡

I honestly felt great today. I’m sure the cut played into part of how my lifts went, but also this squat took about 10 years off my life so that might have also played a part in my other lifts (which I had time to think about while squatting 😂)
—
Squats were the best lift of the day. Ended with 336lbs for a state record. And the grind of my life 😂 But I was exhausted after that and by upper back was (and still is) wrecked 🫠
—
Bench was heavy today. Only got my opener at 170lbs/77.5kg. Just couldn’t quite turn the corner and finish it today 😬
—
Deadlifts were overall pretty decent, based on how they’ve been in training lately. I knew my core/upper back was pretty fatigued so we took what was there. Got 414.5lbs/188kg to chip the state record.
—
Ended with a 921.5lbs/418kg total (state record) & a 463 dots.
—
These are all just about what I hit in prep for my best lifts so I don’t think the cut did too much damage (maybe 2.5-5kg total). Definitely found some things to tweak if there’s a next time 🤝🏼

Huge shoutout to jgmicka and 125bryanmay for putting on another great meet. And thank you to all the spotters, loaders, and judges for working so hard all day.
