this comp will be the same as in the one in napier and also involve competitors in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and maybe Perth

so be interesting to see us in teh big smoke in auckland do ve our hawkes bay brothers

[poos_n_wees]

Cool, cool.

Hey Justin, with the log/dead lifts for reps.. Is there a time limit? Or do you just go for gold until you fail?

[Natenemesis]

HI Tania, 90 sec is the time limit for teh max reps, so you can stop at any time, get your breath and go again. in reality, this will be what most of us do.

[Matrix]

Just out of general interest, Why no sumo technique allowed?

[Natenemesis]

Not sure, but it was a directive from Chris Andrews who runs the Ozstrongman series, and as a postal comp we need to ensure consistency across the various venues. Possibly due to the fact that as the strongman deadlift comps often involve deadlifts that start a little higher than the regular bar, anyone doing sumo (especially the shorter, lighter competitors) may be at too much of an advantage if they did sumo.

[big MAC]

Right, no sumo is just for the sake of consistency, it's pretty much a worldwide strongman rule.

Didn't realise it was 90 seconds, not 75 as per usual. Wow... that will bring different tactics into play.

[Natenemesis]

just a quick reminder about the deadlift - log press competition this sat the 26th Sept at the BackYard Hotel, 31 Northcote Rd Northcote from 11am-2/3pm.

Be great to see as many of you as possible on the day either as late entries or as spectators

HI Nate, we will be gunning for those numbers you guys in napier did.

however, i think you posted your results in the wrong order, while a 270 kg is by far the world record, your 105 deadlift is s**t hahahaha

[nate225]

The easiest way to get a record is to do another lift! Maybe I should try that in PLing? You guys bench, I'm doing squats! 280-300ish aint a bad number there in the hundreds!!!

Have changed it Justin.

Good luck!

[nate225]

Good luck to all competing tomorrow - rumour is we may see attempts at the BIGGEST EVER Deadlift in NZL (currently 367.5 Derek Pomana @ NZPF comp) and an attempt at the biggest Log Press (currently 157.5 Nick McNamee @ NZSM, 2000).

Kia Kaha!

[startinfromscratch]

i think i might come have a look at this, see some crazy strength and perfect form! ayone else going to spectate?

[Natenemesis]

yeah it should be a big day, should have some big female deadlifts as well

[Luigi]

who is this BIG SAM i keep seeing mentioned ?

[big MAC]

I'm there, will probably just do the max log though.

Luigi, it's Big Sam Magele, a 190kg Samoan who is making huge progress and is in the same sort of mould as Mr Mitre Ten, Levi Vaoga.

[nate225]

who is this BIG SAM i keep seeing mentioned ?

Sam "Heavy Duty" Magele is my training partner, who I'm coaching this year leading up to NZ Strongest Man. It's a learning curve for me as his proportions & natural strength are very different to anyone I've ever coached. At 6'2" and 197kg currently, (was 230kg before he started training), he's a big unit - hands like softball mitts & a 1 metre (40ish inches)quad measurement! :nod:

In his first 6 months of Strongman Training, (previously he had 1 year of training, no squat or deadlift ever, but a 200 bench), he has done some freaky things: 320 squat, 150 log press, 95kg Rolling Thunder, 160x2 standing press, 210 bench, 280 DL, 220x14 DL, 155 Stones with ease, Combined truck & SUV pull easily, 290x10 shrugs, 65x10+ DB shoulder press etc. It seems every training session he hits a new PB.

For a big man he's actually quite well conditioned, recently doing a set of 70 reps on the hack squat (no pause strip sets), and with good times on the farmers walk & tyre flip.

He goes into his first NZ Strongest Man in November and will definately give the boys a good run for their money. Two of the past NZ Strongest Man winners have told me they think he'll win it. We'll find out soon enough.

wow impressive stats, big future ahead of him!

[startinfromscratch]

i arrived late due to a physio appointment, but was an awesome watch. heaps of boys deadlifting 200K like it was nothing, novices included!

i missed most of the 1RM loglifts, but got there just in time to see the 1st attempt at 160k by 'wookie'. so close!!!!!!!

one of the girls had some impressive strength on the deads, 160 or 170 i think she got up, awesome.

the wr attempt deadlift was awesome to see, the one before that he got up was fucken insane.

anyways, thanks to the ppl who put this show on - was definitly cool from a spectator perspective. will definitly make time to see another!
