Arnold 2012 Deadlift meet report

Weighed in at 228.8

Opener- 722 went smooth no problems
2nd- 766 tough but no sticky points
3rd- 782-got it off the ground and held it there for a second or 2 but that was it

So that was a competition pr for me-766. But really felt coming in that I was going to deadlift something closer if not 800. But comparing to last year weighed in at close to 10lbs less and deadlifted 11 lbs more
