Hey Tom, massive congratulations on the gold medal! (And to everyone else who went over as well - I just haven't seen any other results)

 

Sorry we didn't have a web forum to celebrate your achievement on the day. Our migration was unfortunately timed when it came to powerlifting comps.

Hey guys, cheers for your support.

I had an awesome experience and it was great lifting next to such amazing lifters. I was a bit gutted on the deadlift as I got greedy. I should have gone for 260 on second attempt to build that total. Here is video of lifts for me.

Wouldnt say it was a greedy attempt you planned for a 700 total and went for it. Were all ready miles in front for you class so had nothing to lose YOLO
