Just thought I would share that Deeznuts took 2nd in the State Championship for his weight class!!!

I did make it to the event, minus my son since he was being an azz and wanted to "sleep". Pizzed me off. I didn't get to meet up with Deeznuts since they had switch his lifting platform and I was sitting by the one I thought he was going to be lifting at.

I was VERY impressed by the whole group of kids that were there!! These kids were putting up some Serious weights!! One broke the state record in squats by doing over 800#'s!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[soxmuscle]

holy shit. wow.

 

[JLB001]

I didn't get any pics of Deez...but this is the over 800 (I think 830) lift that made a high school record as a super heavy I believe. There are 6-100's plates, 4-45 plates, a few smaller ones on the end plus the bar. He did this lift clean too.

Deeznuts...where were you when the spotters dropped all those weights in the platform next to you??? How bad was the dudes cut???

 

[P-funk]

awesome job man!!

 

[ccr_bballer33]

wow..

I am very impressed, I have a rather newb question, when you say 3x6-10, are you saying like 10,8,6 like a pyramid sort of thing, or are you trying to go to failure up to 10? Thanks..

Yea I saw that lol He was okay. It shocked him more than anything else. They gave the guy the squat anyways.

Just 6-10 reps of what I feel like doing. Usually increasing weight as my strength these past few months has increased greatly.

FULL RESULTS:

My first two squats were messed up due to some idiot reading my pin setting wrong. I got them both (385), but they said I went down uneven. They soon realized the error that had been made and allowed me to redo my squat less than two minutes later. Once again, I completed it - this time for a good lift. Unfortunately, as I came up I pulled my lat somehow. Because of this we only went for 400 on my third attempt.

The pulled muscle continued to aggrivate throughout the meet so my bench was pushed down to a 225 and my deadlift to 405. Bringing my total to a 1030 for a 2nd place finish. It turns out I had a chance for first after all if I hadn't of injured my damn self lol Oh well.

Plenty of pics coming as well as some good videos.

Thanks to Jodie for coming out Saturday - i'm sorry about the mix up! You'll be getting a "Team Deeznuts" shirt in the mail soon with the three D's to success:

Dedication
Desire
Deeznuts

Thanks to everyone else who supported me throughout this journal. I will be competing again at a national event in the next few months.

Special thanks to PreMire for helping me fight off the flu a couple of weeks ago with his wonderful knowledge of supplements!

No man, the qualifying totals for these types of things usually aren't to high. I'm pretty sure I blow the USA's out of the water too. I can't believe that guy's number one though. That's probably just one federation..i'm sure there's guys MUCH stronger.

 

[Deeznuts]

Can I get a shirt?

Sure man, i'm going to get some more made lol Just post a pic wearing it PM me with your address and size so I can send it in the next couple of weeks.

Taking this entire week off to let my body fully recover. I haven't taken time off in quite a while, and I think I really need it. My diet yesterday consisted of pork rinds and mountain dew. For the rest of the week, however, I will make sure to take in lots of protein and no empty carbs, as I will have no way of burning them off. I'm not real worried though. I have a VERY fast metabolism and usually just loose weight if i'm not going to the gym regularly. I'd be very surpised if I broke 130 without working out.

 

[APG]

well done mate, enjoy the week off you deserve it

 

[PreMier]

Fantastic job bro. Keep posting here, its good to watch you progress towards your next meet.

 

[soxmuscle]

It's amazing how little you weigh. I can't wait to see some of the pictures you put up from the competition.

 

[Deeznuts]

I've decided to keep this journal going as I prepare for my next competition. I have no idea when i'm going to actually compete again. My back's REALLY jacked up...going to see a doctor some time this week. I just found out that the competition I wanted to go to towards the end of May may be the same day as graduation, so there goes that...

 

[Deeznuts]

Tried putting up a picture of me deadlifting, but apparently it exceeded the single image upload size on ironmagazine. I'll try resizing it when I get home

awesome job man

but hurry with the pics/vids already!

 

[plmom]

Congrats on your 2nd place finish - my son's best friend was the kid that placed 5th (M.Toney-Roosevelt) in your class/division - he didn't have a very good meet - but he is only a freshman - think he was a little over whelmed by the whole thing.

 

[JLB001]

where are those pics???????????

Hi plmom! lots of Texas peeps here.

 

[Deeznuts]

Congrats on your 2nd place finish - my son's best friend was the kid that placed 5th (M.Toney-Roosevelt) in your class/division - he didn't have a very good meet - but he is only a freshman - think he was a little over whelmed by the whole thing.

Awesome - he's got a while to go then. Making it to state Freshman year is an awesome accomplishment.

 

[Deeznuts]

Okay, i've been waiting on the many people who've gotten pictures, and my uncle who recorded the vids.

Also, I don't have anywhere to upload the pics as they're too big for the forum.

Anyways, I seriously cropped a pic of my opening deadlift and posted it in my gallery!

Will post as I get more...

I'm going to the doctor tommorow to get my back checked out...it's hurting worse as the days go on.

 

[PreMier]

That pic in your gallery is HUGE lol When you crop/resize them, make them 7-800 wide/tall at the max. Thats a good size pic. And if you have trouble, you can email them to me and I will do it for you.

As for the video, PM Prince and ask if he can upload them to IM for a week so we can see. Im sure he wouldnt have a problem with it.

 

[sftwrngnr]

Hey Deez,
Absolutely kick ass lifting. Take it easy on your back. Don't rush your rehab . Don't worry about not having gotten first with this meet. You KNOW what you're capable of, so keep up the great work!
