Car Crash, And Competitions...

Right where to start off...

I'm writing this now the day after the competition.

A week ago I was involved in a collision that has written her car off and probably mine (still waiting for the call).
I thought all I had was whiplash to the neck and a wrenched trap...how wrong I was...while at the comp we where getting the rack hights for the bench, so I set up and boom, my lower back seized up.

So throughout the comp to combat the cramping, I was taking alot of high dose mineral tablets, and about 2 gallons of fluid.

Lifts were:

Squat (knee wraps and belt) (we were rushed as there was only 5 lifters in our flight)
1st Attempt:  200kg  
2nd Attempt: 220kg
3rd Attempt: 230kg (new pb in or out of comp)...but very hard...hands where cramping after...

All squats where good and deep (and passed)

Bench (wrist wraps only)
1st Attempt:  120kg (grabbed the bar off center)   Pass
2nd Attempt: 140kg Failed to lockout
3rd Attempt:  140kg Passed (had to arch more, forcing me to endure a seized up back while focusing on the press)

Deadlift
1st Attempt:  250kg (easy)
2nd Attempt: 290kg (fail, got it to knees)
3rd Attempt:  290kg (fail, as last one)

With hindsight I should have ignored the bet and gone for 272.5kg for second and definatly get that, then try for 280kg. The end result would have been the same regarding the money, but new comp pbs on all lifts.

Will post the comp video of this sometime in next week or so...
