my first competition

I had my first bench competition Saturday. It wasnt as big as I expectd, there were only about 30 people that showed up. I competed in the 242 class, and recieved first place for a measley lift of 385. I shot for 400, and made it about an inch from lockout... very disappointing... But at least I got first...

There was a beast there.... competed in the 180 class and benched 560... very impressive.

Hey man, you showed up. You competed. That's more than most can say. You took first - even less can say that.

Congratulations.
