IPF Equipped Junior Worlds Brett Gibbs

[Leeroid]

The 2014 IPF Equipped Junior world champs are being held in Hungary at the moment. 4 NZ lifters have gone over including World Junior raw champ Brett Gibbs.

Andrew Thomas from Canterbury lifted yesterday in the U74kg division and got a 207.5kg bench press which got him a silver medal. His 682.5kg total was good for 6th place overall in the 74s. Massive effort!

Good luck to all the other competitors who are lifting later on in the week.

Good stuff Brett!

 

Did that Swedish guy come out of nowhere? I thought there was nobody else in the juniors that was even close to Brett.

 

That 355.5kg squat must've been quite taxing on Brett for him to miss a 290kg opener deadlift when he did 305kg easily at the raw worlds..

The Sweeds Bench was pretty damn good. 250 on his 3rd gave him a sniff in. Then Brett had the roughest call 2 reds on a near perfect dead. Watched the replay and could only be down too early perhaps. That would have thrown him off and went 290 again. Needed 292.5 to place 1st (if sweed missed his 3rd) and went to 297.5 to push the sweed further. Missed it so sweed is 1st with one lift to go. Goes for WR 325 missed it.

But yeah DL raw would have taxed him hard after that massive squat. Well played by Sweeden.

Some TOUGH judges there too. 3 bombs before deads. Hungary bombed on squats and pulled out of the comp.

That was you? GC man.

Yep haha. They were a half size to big and i liked the tightness of the adipowers. He was the right size so no good to me just sitting here. Rather they go to someone who would use them and he sure has. World record!

Now you can tell everyone that the world record holder was just following in your footsteps.
