Also-they seperated the 175 lbers out of the LW's.

Time to stop mucking about Vdeck, 2011 nationals has Vdeck written all over it!

Events aren't bad for me, save for the DB, which I can't do right now. And I'm not really sure how to equate how far away I am from being able to do it. I've had my Circus db up to 155 and repped it, but hoestly thats near a max weight for me on that event. Plus I have a 10" db, the HW's use a 12" which makes it exponentially harder.

Only one thing to do now, GET STRONGER!

Wow! That is really awesome that they are doing this for the more normal-sized guys out there. That is really intriguing.

You guys have to be getting really excited. Still plenty of time to train for this one. Good stuff.

those look like some very solid events. It seems common place now for most of the big shows to be split into fri night/saturday. Probably because of so many competitors more than anything.

Colin, I Say dive in even if the DB is too heavy. You never know what the implement will feel like/be, and what you will be capable of on that day. Adrenaline/fear alone when doing an event that you are unsure if you can do (but think you MIGHT be able to) can help you a ton. I am sure you'd be glad that you competed, regardless of how that 1 event went.. and.. you just may suprise yourself. There is NO better time to try to set a PR than at a contest!!
