On the squat, Steven said he had another 20-30 pounds left.  His S&C coach told him to stick with 535 lbs for the win.  Steven's winning bench of 340 was on his first attempt.  He tried 380 and just couldn't get past his sticking point.   He took 2nd in the power clean with a lift of 275.  He tried getting 305 up, but he just couldn't get under the barbell.  He'd jack it up to chin level, then drop it when he tried to flip underneath it.  I think the winning lift was 285 lbs.

Overall, not a bad performance.  He missed his personal goals on the bench and power clean, and he was pissed about that.  Steven was pretty happy with the squat.  Found out later on that our boys and girls had a track meet the night before and didn't get to sleep till 11:30.  They had to be back at the school and on the road by 4:30 to be at the venue by 8:00 AM for the weigh-in.  Also, the meet was bumped up a month, and they'd just finished their power cycle when they learned about that.  In other words, out boys and girls had maxed out on Monday and Tuesday, and then found out that on Saturday, they'd be competing.

Also, a bit of good news; one of Steven's teammates on the football team, Curtis King, signed with Birmingham Southern last week.  He'll be playing DT for the school.
