Three more days to go.....I'm so stressed. Dropping my weekest event (the bench).....4 events in 2 days is probably too much anyway....at least for someone who does math for a living  ::)
curls on sat, pushups and pullups on sun.... that will be it :nervous:

Good luck dude!

Thanks...but I guess it wasn't meant to be this time.....i got 2nd on the pushups after an insane tie-break, third on the curls, fifth or sixth on the pullups.....pretty disappointed.... :'(
