USAWA

She knows now, and I think it confused her a little bit since it was at our gym and not at a traditional competition. I was actually proud of her for getting that worked up, shows how much it means to her. But she does know not to do it at a regular competition.

She is a mix of both of us that is for sure, my wife and I are both very competitive at what we do, but we also like to get credit for something we do and can get very pissed if you we don’t. I have never got in trouble at a meet, but I have come close. One time I locked out a 600# deadlift at a powerlifting meet and my gripped gave out right as the Judge was about to give me the down command so the bar dropped from lockout. The meet director was ready to kick me out, until I explained that my grip just gave out at the top for some odd reason. The funniest part about it was bar got bent, so he is all mad about that until I reminded him that it was my damn bar so if anybody was gonna be mad it was me. Then we had a good laugh.
