Skeletor Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Looks like a good amount of lifters turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yep, two flights in the morning, two flights of three-lift and a bench-only in the afternoon. Long day - lifting from 10:00 - 5:30p.m. But worth it, some stunning lifts by novices. The Stephens brothers were great, Nesi and Wade are a team to be watched. Next comp's March 19th at Hastings Fitness Centre - expect to see the Monsters of the East warming up for the CD Champs. Oh, and Big Ethan Foote from Hastings is in the Slingshot Pro Deadlift at the Arnold Sports Festival in Ohio this weekend: http://arnold.usapowerlifting.com and - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19kgecJ8TsRscanvViQYvrUY3_-k7EsLsQRL55avLqo0/htmlview?pli=1# Monday morning NZ time.

I think he's looking to pull 368kg or something. A huge lift. Then again he's a huge guy. Will be watching for sure if I'm not on a callout. Has that Hastings venue been finalized because I contacted the other day and it hadn't been yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive pull. Squat suit seems to work really well for his Dead which is odd given he's a tall, conventional puller. Soz for derail lol. Looked like a good comp btw, solid lifting by novices, they'll be ones to watch in a couple years time for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
