Snatched 235 today after hitting 225 for a double. I have yet to compete but am thinking about entering a small competition this year.

Tyler,

The best thing you could do is to enter a competition. Just do it. You won't regret it, I promise you!

I find competitions so fun that I wish I could do 1 once a month! Weightlifters are some of the friendliest athletes you will meet. We seem to all cheer for each other and share training ideas at every meet that I have been to. After a competition, you will be inspired to train better, harder and you can't wait for the next one. The hardest one you will ever enter will be your first.

But most of all, keep training and have fun!
