I know I'm taking a while to write about my meet, but since I am crunched for time at the moment, I thought I'd mention two things:
Raw Deadlifts Today
In my first day of training since the Seattle meet, I trained deadlifts raw today (no gear) and somehow got up to a 270 lb. pull!!! Mitch put 2.5 lb. plates on each side of the 265 I loaded, which already seemed like a lot to me (for ungeared pulling) since my best raw deadlift has been 245 lbs. (I just don't train deadlifts raw, past 225 lbs. usually.) Based on how I pulled the 270, somehow Mitch thinks I have an over 300 lb. raw pull. That was pretty cool to do that today -- unexpectedly!!!
