Well first off the Venue was kick ass! Tons of fitness models walking around and a crowd that kept growing. Warm up room had plenty of weight and benches for the lifters to get warmed up properly. The meet kicked off on time and moved smoothly with no unecessary delays. A lot of time and effort was put into running this meet and I felt it was a great success once the bars started moving. This was probably the most fun I have had at a meet in a long time. All the lifters were cool and suportive towards each other. Don't get me wrong we were all there for the same reason and that was to win. All egos and hard feeling were put to the side and we all did our best to put a freak show on for the crowd. I opened up with 800 as planned and pretty much hit to reps with ease. Jumped to 850 to tie Mendy who was in the Big Fat benchers division and hit my first rep easy and then had a brain fart on my second rep and has to grind out of my technique mistake. I got two reps but the second one took a lot out of me. I was impressed with a lot of the lifting that took place. Jason Coker stole the show in my opinion in his feirce battle with Jessie Kellum that was second only to the war that Coker went to with Brad Heck at the Arnold in 2007. I am definately pumped for the Olympia and will make a few modifications to my training so I am better prepared. Thanks to John Inzer and everyone else involved with putting this meet together.
