Hey Guys,

A bit Battle Weary, and Bruised, so I will just briefly give a update on the yesterdays Champs, a bit more detailed in a couple of days.

22 CDs records were smashed, 2 injured not to serious we hope :pray: and quite a few PBs. :clap:

It was an awesome day. Some people had some tough times with the refs, and the injuries didn't help either, but there were still some damn impressive lifts. Seeing a 330kg deadlift in person is pretty impressive.

Was unable to make it along in the end due to other commitments but good to see there were some impressive lifts. I know Damon was expecting to lift a fair bit more, especialy on his bench and deads. Last week he went heavier by a fair bit so must have been off his game.

Massive handstrength on those deads bro. Anything over 200 starts to peal my hands off the bar.

Whats up with the stance on the deads tho? Are they sumo deads? Easier than normal ones?

Yeah those are sumo deads, most people can conventional more than they can sumo, but they suit me better.

Hey Sam,

D was on his game, but at champs unlike novice comps, you have pretty tough judges there were heaps of reds.

Gym lifts don't really count, theres no competiton, no pressure, lots of guys do bigger lifts in the gym than at comps. You can use gym lifts to gauge what you do at competitions, long as the people around you know what to look for, and are honest and not just saying massive lifting bro.

D Man got pinged for the same thing as mike not locking out, bench was technical to.

The refs were National and International, as mike said better to get it sorted now then blow it at the Nats.
