2016 GPC Nationals

[Wookie]

25 guys Saturday so yes, time to make Kanda. @Skeletor yes 70. I did 69 with two NZSM winners who did 72 and 74.

They've changed it to line up with GPC Australia's rulings this year so only the first place of each class is viable for overall.

The only reason it was different last year was because it wasn't as competitive, whereas now there are more good lifters so it makes sense.

 

Looking forward to watching the livestream and some.big weights getting shifted. I think JT and Hamish will have a good battle going for 1st, and it'll be silly for them to be in different flights, they'll probably shift it on the day like with Tom Lee last year getting put in our flight since he was competitive overall. Dale is a dark horse, if his injuries don't hold him back he'll go well, big total there waiting but seems like he's just making up lost ground at this point.

Jarrod will go hard, looking forward to seeing a top 5 placing overall in only his second comp.

Elldawg and Bryn will have their Snap Battle going on, I think Elliot will take it, Squat and Bench more, too much ground for Bryn to make up on the Deadlift.

And Maccaz... You'll always have a place in our hearts, please don't go 697.5kg lol

I think Tawa could make top 5 based on trainings I would say he's good for 800 total at 114ish kg

If you have a good day mate that'll end the battle there and then. Probably Deadlift more if your deload goes right !

Not long now team . There is going to be a live feed on the day so will post link up when I get it . Also Raiselower and Strong fit will have stands so you can try the new SBD gears and other things to. Going to be huge.

[Realtalk]

Thats good. Matt and Rachel from raiselower have been good to that federation. Nice people who give back to the lifters who support them.

Was an awesome weekend catching up with everyone.  That guy Eru is a monster. Hamish with a massive 3rd squat and now he's good at deads to so even bigger total coming . Dale's records, Kate Mitchell just hands down in a league of her own she's unreal . Some of the light females today shocked the shit out of me with weights they were lifting to. Pretty awesomely set up comp , well run, international refs, fantastic trophies and awards but bad call having Raiselower there I just kept on buying lol. And of course good to catch up with other forum members.

Going to be mean. 4 days lifting. Had 95 lifters registered 26th June so I'd  imagine it would be around 150 if not more.
