Had a great time at my first NAS competition. Scott Porter runs a clean show, looking forward to doing another in the future. A few notes:
- my cardio blows, both muscular and cardiovascular. Need to work on this, not only for competition but for everyday life
- my triceps are weak. killed me on the log press. I strict pressed 285 last week but I couldn't push press a 290lb log, that's ridiculous. on a side note, I need to work on my technique as I kept getting super dizzy and almost passing out as the log was on my shoulders. I was told I'm doing it right, but there's got to be something I can do differently to avoid this. Possibly gripping the log more towards the front?
- I lost my grip on the sandbag and that screwed me bad. I was running a great time with the tire and even the pick on the sandbag was easy. When I started moving with the sandbag I lost my grip and had to readjust, that also ended up making me take more time to recover and costing close to 10 seconds.
- Deadlift was solid, but needs to be stronger
- uncomfortability with the stones cost me some serious points. Heaviest stone I had loaded before was a 300lb stone and that was hard as shit. Event was max stone for max reps over bar, 2 attempts permitted. I was going to open with the 280 stone until Scott Porter gave me a silly look so I upped it to the 320. I'm glad I did because the 320 stone was cakesauce. Unfortunately, everybody else in my class passed it and went right to the 360 stone. I took the 360 stone for 3 reps when I was up again and everyone else went onto the 410 stone. 2 were successful, one guy doubled it. I really think I had a good shot at that 410, but my attempts were done.
