Rooks Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Well, I'm officially in for getting to 495/405/495 after this meet. I hadn't wanted to commit, but having met a couple other older lifters, and with the progress I've made....I just need to focus. I'm above 85% of the way there now. Plus one of the guys pointed out that I will be officially a masters 3 (60-69) Jan 1 of the year I turn 60. My birthday is in December. So I can start competing as a 60 year old when I'm 59 and 1 month (in about 3 1/2 years). Right now, I'm already above all the records for FL in the MR2, 125+ class. I think I can beat everything but the deadlift for the MR2, 120+ class. Larry just set the record at 502. So I should set some records while I'm over 125 kg, then lose weight and set a bunch more! I may be able to own the top of the old dog charts... That's so epic. I was always wondering how close you were to some records being so damn strong. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hermione Gainser Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah, bit off in my estimations of my maxes. After the 3rd bench, one of the judges told me I was supposed to do my warmup in the back This! You made all of those lifts look EASY. Congratulations on an awesome meet!

You're a beast.I'm naturally physically cautious for a number of reasons. But I may be over doing it. One thing I always think about, at my age, 6 months to recover from an injury cause I was really challenging myself is probably 9 months or maybe never. And I don't have that many 6 months left, relatively speaking. I'll just sign up for another meet, make sure they know I'm going for records and crush them!! 3 Quote Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

SpecialSundae Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Great lifts! Hitting 9/9, getting PRs AND leaving some more kg on the platform is precisely where you want to be! 2 Quote Link to comment
