Weight cuts aren't as big an advantage in powerlifting as they are in other weight-class based sports, because you can't really get away with being at anything less than full strength. I used to cut weight for wrestling in high school, and I'd win matches even when I felt lethargic if there was a gap in ability. I tried the same thing for my first powerlifting meet and bombed. Lesson learned.

Yeah, I feel like its hard to be at your very best if you were very depleted the day before. Do you think the 24 hour weigh in instead of 12ish made a difference for you?

I've always felt good on the evening-before weigh-ins, so it's hard to say exactly. I don't know if I felt a lot better, but I was more relaxed because I didn't have to cram everything down quickly. Having the day just to chill out and think about the meet instead of eating dinner and spending the night rehydrating was a lot easier. Some people from 22nd Street said I looked noticeably different 24 hours later (and I competed at my highest bodyweight ever), so maybe it did help.

Just his current vids and forum. He's turning his attention to the 40+ crowd after getting his identity revealed by 4chan. My question is why did this take so long? He's got a very distinctive look; I would imagine it would be hard for him to go incognito in public.

I meant you. Will you retire your avatar now that he's going off the grid?

Definitely thought you meant Audio Visual as in his videos.

I'll keep it. ~~Goonies~~ Scoobies never say die.
