Tweetcongrats man. that is awesome stuff and doing so well at your first meets is a huge accomplishment for you
TweetSo my last amateur powerlifting meet was last month (August, 2012) and it was the State Championship. My 1st meet was in March of this year. Little did I know until I participated in the State Championship was that I managed to set a record in two different classes.
Men's Deadlift Only
Men's Masters Deadlift Only
Both with a 180 kg. lift. So for my final lift at the State Championship, I chose to attempt a 500 pound lift because I felt that I could do it. But I felt jinxed when I had noticed most of the younger guys who were lifting more earlier were now failing their lifts at less than 500 pounds. I was just standing there saying to myself, "WTF did I get myself into?" Needless to say, my final lift failed as well. So I thought, "Aw well, I may not have broken my record but at least I set two State records."
A month later, my company screwed up my check so I went to my P.O. box hoping not to find some kind of garnishment that could be the reason why I didn't have a check on time. All was clear as far as that was concerned. But then I found a large envelope with a return address and name that I didn't recognize. When I opened it, it was two certificates from A.P.F certifying my set records. I was like, "COOL". Then there was a 3rd that nearly made me scream like a girl in the post office. I CAME IN 1st PLACE OF THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP in my class. It shocked the hell out of me that my once dream is gradually becoming reality for me.

I LOVE BOOBOOKITTY...
TweetBecause our manager likes to show off his workers' accomplishments outside of the job, I got his permission to post a copy of the 1st place certificate near our breakroom.
Now I'm not one to gloat, mind you. But alot of my co-workers have told me that since it's been up, the a$$hole coworker who brags about his workouts (now claiming to be a personal trainer) doesn't even open his mouth about working out anymore. LOL
