Frank doing a great job, and from reading some of your past post sounds like you are having a ball doing it.

Wow- two weeks sooner. Make that your advantage! There's bound to be folks who will see that as a negative and fail to compensate.
Tighten the screws and pour it on, Frank!

3/11/08
Was feeling a bit of an "attitude" yesterday, but finally just shut my mouth and hit the gym with the attitude, "I'm here to work, not to talk".
Squats @ 315
Bench @ 250 (Went for 275 but failed due to form)
Assistance work.
Sleep.
Moving along.

Thanks Everybody.
I'd like to open with:
S=275
B=225
D=350
2nd attempt:
S=300
B=260
D=405
Final attempt:
S:325
B:275
D:425
Not too pushy but it is my first meet, so my goal is 9 white lights and no "bombs".
My trainer told me not to think about my weight, and that he would take care of that. I told him to rest assurred, that whatever he puts on the bar, I WILL lift.
However, I did find out that there are is no one currently holding the World Record in my Division. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
We'll see how I feel, and how this experience goes.
To be honest, I'm being optimistic for the meet, but still a little unsure if this is the path for me. I keep getting mixed feelings from my wife and trainer. It's probably just me being paranoid.
I'm hoping that getting this first PL meet under my belt will give me some clarification.
Time will tell.
