My first competition for ~five years and my twentieth year of powerlifting.
I didn't feel that great going into it, so I dropped my openers for squat and bench slightly.
Squat
The warmups felt OK and depth appeared to be relatively easy to get.
Attempt 1: 180kg - Taking the bar out of the rack felt a little odd, but the lift was easy. Fail on depth...
Attempt 2: 180kg - Slower taking out, harder ascent, but two white lights
Attempt 3: 210kg - Strong all the way around, fastest squat of the three, and two white lights
Bench
The warmups did not feel great, as the bar felt loose in my hands, not solid.
Attempt 1: 170kg - Had a good rattle going, but easy lift - two white lights
Attempt 2: 182.5kg - More rattle, lift wasn't hard, but had an issue with the bar moving closer to lockout - two white lights
Attempt 3: 190kg - More rattle, weight felt OK but once I hit that same point as the last lift it dumped the bar over my belly and failed.
Deadlift
Not much warmup, but it felt ok.
Attempt 1: 230kg - Comfortable lift - 3whites
Attempt 2: 255kg - PB competition deadlift, strong, but the weight got away from my shins during the ascent - three whites
Attempt 3: 272.5kg - Got to my knees strongly, then the weight went out in front and there was no chance of bringing it back. Missed.
Total: 647.5kg @125kg class - 10kg under my best total, with a ton left on the platform
