Very nice.  I declared to my wife that I'm going to enter one in 2014.  I need to go to a few in 2013 and watch and see how they go, not just read the rules book again.

80s medium - No, greed.  3 squat, 2 bench (then an overreach) and just 1 deadlift (rushed, head not in game).  

 

albeus51 - Awesome stuff :) We do virtual meets here every few months. As for real meets, look up your local-ish federation and ping 'em.  Any strength-type training is suitable (I'm currently using Texas Method), and I'd recommend practising the specific competition moves (the deep squat, and the paused bench).
