Congrats! You'll get 580 next time. Have you got the next competition in mind?

Very nice lifting.

You beat my friend Yano in juniors and gave Peter a good fight for main 83 title I think. He's short though so it doesn't count.

Thanks! I think the same competition is done in June/July and November next year. So likely both of those. However, I'm pretty sure I qualified for Nationals which they do in October so that would be the main goal really to try fight for an international spot. Unlikely, definitely, but I'd like to give it a go. Got two years of lifting as a junior.


Cheers!

Yes I think Peter and the other dude (Ebenezer) got like 620/630kg totals if I'm not mistaken. But, they're fair bit older. If I'm honest with myself, I think I can definitely be about that level before I get to senior.

Yea, you've qualified for nationals next year. Then they will pick the people to go to trials in January in October November next year.

You'll be up against Alistair and Owen though.

You have time to do well at nationals next year.

Nice total man!

Unlucky with the bench and deadlift final attempts- next time!

Explain? I'm unaware.

Alistair is 24 next year I believe. It said 1991 so surely not possible he can compete as junior anymore. Owen Hubbard is on another level and I can't compete with him. But, Alistair "only" posted a 597.5kg total in Nationals last year and qualified for IPF Raw Worlds this year. I do believe I could do the same. But 2nd place qualifying also is a bit more random as I understand.


Thanks!

In early November they invite lifters to sessions in January. They will judge you then at these sessions and pick who goes to European and world's.

It's often the best few from the classic.

And I didn't realise about Alistair. And second to Owen is still impressive.

Oh so you do the British Classic in October and then in the November they invite you? So essentially doing another meet the following January?

Well, second is the goal as Owen is on another level. But, of course, any random guy can show up tomorrow with a massive total and just wreck me so who knows. But I have 11 months till the Classic.

Yea, the January thing is called squads. Think you can do whatever you like but most people tend to hit a heavy single or triple I hear. I'll report back in January after the guy I sit next to at work goes.

Check this year's classic results for competitors...

Well the thing is, I'd be doing next year's British Classic and so could qualify for IPF Raw Worlds in 2016. Alistair Cannings can't do that as not a junior, and neither would Owen Hubbard.

Thus, I think it really opens the field wide open. Owen Hubbard could/would compete as junior next year in British Classic but he's 22 this year so in 2016 he'd be 24 and not U23.

Thus, I think my chances of qualifying just went up a tiny bit. When Alistair Cannings qualified for IPF this year, he totaled 597.5kg last year. I think in 11 months I can definitely be at a 600kg+ total with good peaking.

Now, obviously, some complete monsters could come out of nowhere and destroy my chances but as it stands, not looking terrible. Which is very exciting actually.

Who do you know that's going?

Matt Deacon Smith. He's 105 now but has pulled gbpf records at 83 and 93 and 105. (280 and 300 and 305.5(fail 325 at classic) )

The guy has obscene deadlift proportions. Dem arms

I said that but he's actually not as bad as others that lock out just above knees.

His are better than mine but ice seen better.

He did pull 205 first time in a gym. Beltless, straight leg, in trainers.

wtf

Try again now.

do they not allow the lift if the bar sinks into your chest a little?

What do you mean by t shirt bench?
