Competition Low Down and Final thoughts for Blog

Leinster Open results:
Squat 225kgs (15kgsPR)
Bench 135kgs
Deadlift 240kgs
Total 600kgs (15kgsPR)

Disappointed with the bench, could lockout 140. it's time to HAMMER my lockout!
EXTREMELY pissed off with the deadlift. i took 250 for a ride, locked it out, but the bloomin thing slipped out of my hand! i suppose it's not the worst thing because i wasnt expecting it to budge so i know its there in future.

CUTTING WEIGHT!

This is just a reminder for myself so i know for my next comp what i did to cut my weight.

This competition is a 24hour weigh in and on saturday 26th.
from sunday till wednesday i averaged about 4litres of water a day (not including my protein shakes and coffee and tea and so forth).

WEDNESDAY:
I drank 5 liters. i ate clean on the wednesday and did a small bit of training and after training took 40gs of waxy maize starch, and used the sauna for 15mins, upon leaving the sauna i weighed 76.5kgs ( i dropped 0.2kgs in the sauna). i still continued my water intake prior to the sauna. i took a protein shake. I also had lean ground mince at around 9 with broccoli, green peppers and some pasta sauce.

THURSDAY:
Woke up at 11.30 and ate breakfast at 12.30. i had a bowl of special K and 2 scoops of protein and a coffee. i stopped drinking liquids after this. later on at 4 i had 100g of protein and 1 baby potato and a mouthful of water. At 9pm i weighed 75.5kgs on my home scales which is similar to the gym scales. after this i ate a breast of boiled chicken, a glass of water, 3 tea spoons of Peanut butter and another moutful of water. weight currently stands at 75.6ish Kgs.
