    You were wearing a spandex onesie, even your distinguished beard could not save you from looking like an idiot in such an outfit.

    Nothing will whip your drive and training into shape like a poor showing at a meet.
    I highly recommend it.

    My 1st snatch ever at an Oly meet went over my head and right down behind me with my hands still holding the bar! Beat that!

    Well now I'm pumped. Rip that is exactly what I needed to hear. Might as well just go and give it a shot. It's not like I'm not already getting strange looks at gym already.

    You're not too weak for your first meet. You are too weak for your second meet.

    If so, great work, and thanks for keeping everything off the floor.
    After cutting down on sodium the couple days prior, I really didn't mind.

    You won't look like a fool. Your numbers are not bad for a masters competitor. I like USAPL meets. For real I don't preorder the tshirt anymore because

    Ugh I hit "post" in the middle of it.

    Because as I am typing this I am wearing a tshirt that says New Jersey State Powerlifting Championships with a pistol for the "r" in "Jersey" and a cartoon of James Gandalfini in with a loaded barbell on his back. Horrendous. I don't preorder the tshirts anymore for this reason.
