Is Ayn Rand worth the read op?

I’ve spent a lifetime reading textbooks and barely had time for literature.

How did you not know it was misloaded by 100lb on one side though? I notice even a 5 lb difference when I do deadlift, power clean, squat etc.

Sounds like you’re lying for not being able to lift/10

Killer story though

No video of the lift? I’m not listening to a fat man talk for 7 mins
50% of my posts are 100% factual

In the gym, I notice every little thing too.

But when I had adrenaline surging because:
1. I was doing something for the first time
2. Crowd yelling at me
3. Judges yelling commands at me
4. Different gym
5. Different bar, weights, Monolift etc.

I said in the video that I could tell there was something wrong, I just couldn’t tell what it was.

In my experience at a meet you generally trust the plate loaders and organizers. You are too focused on the lift you cant stop to think about if its even or double check the weight.

Yeah there's so much going on, you just have to trust the people working the competition. But for people who are good at multi-tasking (not me), I'm sure they can take a second away from focusing on the lift to check the equipment and weights before the lift.

Thanks.

Yeah like I said, that made it much easier to deal with knowing the weight was so much more than my actual lift. Somehow it restored my confidence.

Also, mirin the undies.

Yeah that's fair. On a brighter note, it's good that you didn't get injured.

Lol, sorry brah, tl;dw...

I did misload a pretty close to max effort push press triple a few weeks ago. Was 5# light on the left side, failed the 3rd rep, felt something wasn't right, saw my mistake, added the 5, and got the lift. Not 100# but it still obviously made a difference. (Failed on the side that had the "extra" 5)

^^ Ever since I’ve started using 55 lb plates instead of 45’s, my mind has been full of fuk and I misload something every couple of weeks. It’s hard to undo decades of base-45 math.

I don't have that excuse, I was just a dum-dum and only added weight to one side. Granted the side I forgot to load is on the "back" side of the rack so I don't see it when I'm walking up to take a set unless I actually look around the outside. Oh well, chit happens. *shrug*

Honestly, that's what I call a cool story bro. Such a riveting tale, I honestly copy and pasted it, saved on my hard drive, backed it up on a jump drive, drove to the bank, put the jump drive in the safe deposit box, and will leave it there until my kids turn about 12 (when they can actually state their age, and ask what it is I'm showing them), when I will pick it up, put it in an old USB drive reader and relay this cool story to them and tell them, "kids, this is what a cool story should look and sound like...not like the stories your generation tells.
