Tweeti sucked,completely bombed out, i present this info to help other power lifters. in the end though it does not matter why you miss either you make it or you don't.
1. have had a sinus infection for a couple of weeks, got a shot in the ass at the doc's yesterday and antibiotics, thought i could power thru it, not hardly, almost did not go was running a fever last night and should have backed out but i am hard headed
2. did not respect my opener, was all ready looking at my 2nd lift. opener was normally good for a double, on hand off it was like i had no strength,it crushed me, judge said i had the pegs too high and flattened my back, also no leg drive.
2nd try i did not wait for lockout command, stupid mental error
3rd try i pressed it up ok then i just lost control of the weight and it started to fall towards my legs with my arms still locked out, not really sure except by this time i had lost all confidence
3. did not monitor my blood sugar close enough, i was shaky cause of low blood sugar, might have contributed to mental error
4. let myself drop too much weight, the past 2 weeks i have had no appetite with this sinus thing, i normally like to be over 245 then cut to just under 240 i weighed in with no cut in street clothes at 234, i am thinking about dropping to the 220 class, trying to maintain weight is just as hard as dieting to lose weight
5. stomach cramps, not sure why but the past 2 day's i have been hurting, maybe antibiotic is upsetting things

next meet is mid may, i say good by to the 50-54 age group and move on to the new class

Augmentin can play hell on the tummy. Make sure you eat a yogurt daily when taking that antibiotic, or any for that matter. You can also go get some Florastar probiotic to take to. It has been aound forever and the doc always recommends that one when my daughter is on antibiotics.

AS far as your meet, guns is right. The important thing is you know what your mistakes were and you will rectify those at your next meet! Hope you feel better soon.
