Yes the event went amazing. 37 lifters in the end. Results up shortly.

The man Mountain was Elnez Tofa. Our scales only went up to 200kg. He was over that so we couldn't get a proper reading. Will be buying higher weighted calibrated scales so we can weigh him next time lol

Just ridiculous potential.

Dan Holliday has made huge progress posting up a relatively easy 240kg with more in the tank. Expect him to bench 6pps raw in the very near future.

I was somewhat distracted on the day and bombed out and had to take my 185kg opener which was good enough for 3rd highest lift on the day but there were a huge amount of lifters who were between 160kg- 185kg. There will be a lot of competition in the following comps. Next stop is the GPC Auckland 3 lift In 6 weeks (March 29).

Official results soon

Soundsgood when you did either 190 or 195kg it looked like a 3-5sec pause , the ref must of been day dreaming lol , im happy with my bench for the day i wsh i did 185 or 190 but was shacking to much and nervous , i ended up doing chest at the gym today with a 190kg press just made it up to. Goal is 200kg for the next one bro and gta work on squats and deadlifts aswel.

That Daniel and Elnez are in a class if there own to flipn strong for this place lol, oh yeah was wondering how come i was up against a 139kg guy lol that guy was huge.

Hahaha yeah that ref apologized profusely for making me pause 5 seconds on my chest with that 195. He had just benched 300kg in his bench shirt and was still in a bit of a daze. It's fine we learnt our lesson that we won't go from lifting in one flight to reffing the next. I'm glad it happened to me rather than anyone else and it won't happen again :)

Yeah reddog just explained it. Every one was broken into their separate classes (junior, teen, open, sub master, master 1 etc and you were ranked in your class regardless of weight lift using the gloss Brener system. We also included an overall ranking based on your gloss Brener score too.

You were hardly even breaking a sweat yesterday montz. I think you should open on 180-190 next time. You're just built for benching with a big chest and short brick Arms. If you can stay at your bodyweight or even drop down under 100 you will challenge guys like Elnez and Dan for overall in comps to come.

Oh ok cool bro

Thanx bro i hope to go far in this, starting my diet tomorrow meals already made up in the fridge for the whole day will slowly make my way back down to 95-98kg and try maintain or build strength while duin it i hope that there gud enuff and healthy meals to lol,

I was thinkin next comp ill start at 180kg and hope for a 3rd lift of 200kg ,i was more sweating from bein nervous and havin to much pre-workout than actually duin the benchpress lol,i would love to compare with Elnez and Dan but those two are gonna hit near 270 very soon, i must have to hit around 230+ mark to compare with them farout thats up there that weight.

Overall massive az day huge turnout , if that many turn out for a full 3 lift it might end up being an all nighter lol.
