Yeah, I know you're supposed to, but I hate doing it, it makes me concentrate less on actually lifting the weight, but yeah, I see what you mean. I'm not too worried about the bench press, but I'm not very good at jerks, I can clean decently, but I can't jerk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiLMiCKMANTLE Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 We're doing bench and jerks. Anyone got any tips for me? i used to do that in high school also.. a thing i learned from doing it is dont go easy because you have 3 lifts.. try and do your max on your first lift then see if you can better yourself with the next to.. i messed up a few meets by trying to pace myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start lighter weight like 155 (shut-up, I suck at clean and jerks), then if I can do it I'll know my appropriate weight based on how easy or hard it is.

I don't care for the runners either who take it to such an extreme their faces become jaunted & tired looking I agree, although most runners have phenom bodies. I don't like extreme muscles on women or men.. I can certainly appreciate the work and dedication that goes into body building but it IS creepy when a woman's muscles are bigger than most men's. Are defined abs not sexy on a woman either? Honest curiousity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GangGreen Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Just got back from the weightlifting competition. Our stupid ass athletic director, who shouldn't be the athletic director and doesn't come to our football games, put on our schedule the wrong school and we were late to the meet because it took an hour after the competition started to find out it was at another school. We went there and they wouldn't let us compete, so I'm really pissed off. I thought I'd be in the 199 pound class, but I'm just above that at like 207, so I'm in the 219 pound class next week, on my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GangGreen Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yeah, just had my first competition on my birthday today. I did decent, and I came in like the middle-lower section of the 199 and 219 lb weight class as a sophomore. I jerked 170, and I benched 250. Overall, I did a lot more than I thought I could, and I think I finally got past that 255 lb bench plateau. Also, I found out that my football spring game is May 22nd! Can't wait!
