This weekends competition

This weekend was a blast. I am so proud of Adam, Brandon, Aaron, and Matt. Jody Woods ran a great meet as always and all of the people who helped out were great as well. Matt (Shoey) took all of the Nevada records for 18-19 @165. The old records were held by Mitch who was one of my lifters a few years ago, so it was nice to have one of my current lifters break the records of one of my old lifters. Aaron lifted real well for his first meet and had his hands full with a good lifter from Fallon. Aaron set PR's in both the bench and the deadlift. I think Aaron will be right there for the title in Nov. Brandon, Mr. Bench only, broke the Nevada state record in the bench press for teen 18-19 @198. Brandon also broke his own PR in the bench. Brandon has a bright future in powerlifting if we can keep him training. Adam was a beast at this contest. Adam set state records in both the bench and the deadlift. Adam benched 468@259. Adam's bench was good for the outstanding teen bencher award. This was the biggest bench Adam has ever done, and he also gave 480 a great ride, and was very close to locking that out as well.

Now for the road trip and the other stuff that always happens on powerlifting trips. First is the story about what a sissy Brandon was about cutting two pounds. He whined as soon as we left the house about how hungry he was. He even brought along a zip-lock baggy with cold bacon inside, all the way down he kept telling us how great his bacon was going to be. I made the joke that he should get a room with his bacon. We ended up taking a wrong turn, which turned out to be a blessing because Brandon may not have made weight if we hadn't taken a wrong turn. The extra 30 mins or so might have helped with the last pound coming off. We went to Brookfields for dinner, which has great food, and of course everyone pigged out.

Adam and Brandon wrestled for the bed and Brandon lost, big surprise there. Aaron, Brandon and Shoey slept on the floor. Big B showed up at the end of the bench press and hung out for the rest of the meet. It was great seeing him. We all went to Brookfields for dinner afterwards and had a great time. Brookfields has colossal brownes and they are awesome. We had three of them. They are so big two-three people and can eat off of one. Brandon ordered a bacon browne, which was super weird, but this is Brandon were talking about. He loved it.

All in all it was a great trip and I can't wait for the World's in Las Vegas, as it should be a great time with all of these guys.
