thanks.

i like a light (80% 1RM) opener to save some energy for lifts 2-3.

Good job. What did the winner lift? Looks smaller than you.

the guy who won my age/weight class lifted more than 600.

in my weight class you have to weigh in the day before between 242 and 259lbs, so his weight's there somewhere.
