agree

i would argue aussie best, but difficult to compare with bigger guys

 

considerign hes opening on 815 @ 82, and is not far off a 350 dead, i would say its gonna be big numbers

Some of these lighter dudes are huuuuuge . Not sure if doing massive weight cuts or camera adds 20 pounds . 

[Realtalk]

live feed is awesome.

 

Few people getting smashed for depth on squats. Interesting to see what happens next weekend with gpc intl president at NZ nats. Wonder if people will drop their attempts etc.

I was actually gonna put mine up lol. Same opener though . But yep I'd rather fail than be given whites for a high squat.

Anyone see this attempt, not a good feeling

Yup. I've done it. You kind of wake up not knowing where u are

[Realtalk]

Good on the guy with the ammonia. That's what it's for.

Your squats are fine though.

 

it isn't a little dig either before some homo pipes up. Just an observation. And will be interesting to see, well interesting to me anyway.

[Realtalk]

I watched a bit of it. Not as stacked as has been in past. Think pro raw becoming more popular amongst the elite lifters

[Wookie]

I think the 110's was pretty stacked, just 20kg down on the all time best.

 

835 won the 100's. 

 

Biggest guys obviously doing Big Dogs

GPC aussie is epic competition. I think you have to be ranked in the top 10 of your class to even qualify, opposed to An X total. 

Is this true @maccaz?

[PETN]

Top 15 I thought. Which isn't really that difficult. If you can't make that then you shouldn't be competing at a national level anyway.

top 15, but so many pulled out that a guy from my gym was ranked like 27th and went, didnt do well obviously.

 

i think a lot of big lifters are doing pro raw/big dogs instead so heaps pulled out of gpc nationals, its a shame really.

 

one example is that in the 125kg class i would have come like 11th out of 15. in my opinion im a long way off deserving a place there, and would hope i would come last, but apparently not. 

[Monarchking]

I think nationals should qualify like that. So it's much more competitive and quality liftng.

Yeah but fair enough in places like NZ where it's a newer sport it's better to be more flexible to get more numbers imo

For sure

U100s was weak as.. Josh wiseman was miles ahead with 835. Scott Wasson was comfortably second with 767.5. Best bench in that class was only 185.
