@lurking419 Height categories would make more sense than weight. Both will, and should, never happen though.

@lurking419 Who is doing a bodyweight thruster? There will always be rare exceptions but 95%+ of people doing this are not close to doing a bodyweight thruster. There aren't a lot of 95 lb women or 135 lb men doing this stuff.

@lurking419 what heavy weight?

@marieb3 I feel like this is far more of an issue with you than anything else.

@gpela Feeling heavy due to fatigue doesn't mean it is heavy, though.

@elana It will feel heavy but it's still not heavy. Body weight squats can be difficult if you're fatigued enough.

@elana It's a barbell...it's not heavy.

@tabi777 Realistically, it's probably not a LOT stronger. For reference, I'm at 84% in my age group. I'm legitimately less than 10 reps over 23.1 and 23.2a from being in the top 10%. At 89%, you might just be 5 lbs away from being able to jump that 1%. Even if it's more than that, I'll be...

@lvw He can outwardly say he was using whatever he wants and then produce a clean test but unless someone actually sees him using the banned substances it could all just be a show. He has to be smart enough to understand that, too.

@rqsuvw I'm in a similar boat. We have one more workout to go though!

@pianogrl My gym started Mayhem Affiliate in January. I'm loving the programming so far so I hope that it leads to more gains this year! I try not to get too caught up in all that stuff. At the end of the day I am getting a great workout. I want to make it to certain levels but I ultimately...

@jakesmith99 Just have someone who knows how to bench well look at your form closely. If you're struggling to improve it then you likely aren't engaging the proper muscles due to an improper bar path.

@kyokosakura I think Mayhem and TTT have both said that they believe around 126 will be the 10% cutoff for A.

@meghagupta That's awesome! I'm hoping to be able to get those type of percentiles by the time I age up for the (I believe) the 2027 open. All I can do is continue to work!

@carolinedickson Please no! I can get through the HSPU but not fast. How about DT?!

@carolinedickson Exactly. I'm quite literally something like 3 rmu and 5-7 shuttle runs away from being very solidly in the quarterfinals in my age group. It's such a razor thin margin that it's hard to be TOO upset. We do seem to be in similar situations. I wasn't a true powerlifter but all...

@inetfree180 I've kind of accepted I won't make the top 10%. I'm not super upset about it but just a little disappointed because I set that goal after last years open. I knew it was a lofty goal but that's what goals should be. The work I put in over the past 6 months at cleans has paid off...

@inetfree180 Congrats. That's where I am overall. I'm mostly happy with 23.1 and 23.2b. I scored higher on .1 than any workout last year and then finished WAY higher on .2b. My .2a score was my worst of any workout , though. I was on the edge of the group that just tanks your score and just...

@gideonsdaughter I don't think anyone wears a belt because they are injured.

@hibuddie A cap isn't necessarily a bad thing, imo.
