Spent the weekend at a powerlifting meet. All three of my kids competed plus 1 kid's girlfriend. They all had fun and it was a new experience for my youngest 14 year old son.
I volunteered as well which is a requirement if one wants to go to Nationals. Because I've been to Nationals before all I need to do is get a qualifying total at a regional meet. There's one meet before the deadline in December so I've signed up for a meet a month from now.
I met the meet director at last weekend's meet and he agreed to let me in even though the roster is mostly full and because it is a cash meet I was supposed to have a qualifying total from the last two years which I don't have. Nice guy!
I'm not really prepared but think I can put together a Nationals qualifying total at the meet. Knock on wood hopefully I don't hurt myself before then!

Warm up - 500M row
Squat specific warm up circuit:
Copenhagen squeeze - 5,5,5, - fairly advanced exercise - caused some discomfort in my healing groin
Decline sit up - 12,12,12,
DB pullover/squat - 40-7,7,7
Box squat - never done these before so didn't know how heavy to go. Was going for A 2 rep max so went up cautiously. 3 minutes rest between sets.

474-1 - 463 went pretty good so I felt 474 could double but I stopped at 1 as 2 reps was probably borderline and I didn't want to dump the bar sitting down.
Accessory circuit:
Hip thrust - 195-10,10,10,
Reverse hyper - green rogue band - 10,10,10,
Kneeling band crunches - 20 second hold - 1,1,1,
Sumo Deadlift
155-5
265-2
375-2 - I've never done these "heavy" before and my hip flexibility isn't the best with my groin issues. Was supposed to go for a 2rep max but 375 with these felt heavy enough so I stopped there.
