100kg x 5 - Easy 90kg x 10, 5, 8 - Not sure what happened with the mid-set
And that was that lol. Took it easy, didn't want to take anything away from the comp on Sunday. Will go in tomorrow for some final stretching and foam rolling for good measure. 115 lifters on the day running through a single platform. I hope the loaders/spotters are efficient. Its my last comp as a 'junior', so I need to make the record unattainable for whoever comes after me
Warming up turned out quite well but there were hardly any weights so turned into a free for all.
100kg x 5 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 190kg x 1 220kg x 1 250kg x 1 - came out of the warm up area to find I had a minute until my attempt. Pretty good timing.
290kg x 1 - easy 307.5kg - easy 320kg x 1 - comfy, more there
Finished the day as the best deadlifter and a WDFPA world record in both the jnr and snr age groups.
From here its time to dust off the deadlift suit and build towards 350kg for the summer.
And what are the 82.5kg records? Surely if you could drop to that class for weigh in you could be even more awesome?
The old record was 305kg so I went 307.5kg on my second. The single lift records aren't a great standard tbh. I personally think 320kg is more respectable but should be more. I have no plans to drop down, I need to get bigger which is my main goal thia year.
353kg in a full powerlifting comp where you do all 3. Thats the big one that was set by a bit of a legend many moons ago. I dont want to be in the class above, just be a fuller 90kg.
Edit: So you're 33kg from the World Record? Pump your body with juice and you'll hit that in a couple of weeks. Do it!
Edit2: 198 859 Ed Coan USA 1985 USPF
859 = 390kg?
353kg is the record in my fed. Coan's is in the IPF and also a level I'll never achieve. Of all the major feds (forgetting the backyard stuff) 353kg is probably the smallest weight, yet it's still f'in massive.
But yes, I understand. I thought Coan's was 353kg. In which case I was thinking "Wow, a guy on TSR may actually challenge for Coan's record - that's insane!".
Yeah I'd agree with the crowd thing. In Scotland and on the equipped side of the BDFPA I'm well known because thats were I've done all my previous lifting. Then I turn up to a comp in England, in just my belt and a questionable singlet and I reckon people were wondering what to make of me.
