Squat: Opener felt great, then stomach started to rumble and lost tightness on my 2nd, so we scratched a 3rd. Shoulder soreness started to develop and didn't think 277.5 would be there based on 265. Open state record achieved with 265 so we were content there.
Bench Press: Fastest press commands I have ever received or seen in an IPF affiliated meet. Opener flew, so went to 197.5 for a 2nd, took 5 seconds to get the start command because of my elbow, pointed that out to them after the missed lift and got quick calls on my 3rd and smoked it. 205 or more would have been there on the day for sure. 12.5kg open state record.
Deadlift: Back got tight after that weird 2nd attempt on bench, sitting made it worse. Stuck with the 262.5 planned opener, but went conservative on the jumps and simply took what we knew would be 100% sure things. All 3 attempts moved well and secured the state records sweep.
