Here is the standard that has been created. I tried to copy and paste it like gatormade but it didn't turn out so good.

I quit eating as much bread and processed carbs, upped veggies and meat. My lifts have kept going up though....strange. Anyway at 148 I'm class 1, 165 I'm class 2.

Those that have never competed before may also feel more pressure with people watching (at least, I'm assuming so because I have never competed). That can affect your lifts one way or another. Keep that in mind when you figure out what class you would fall in. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."
