[Viking Power]

Thanks Steak and OB

thanks for your help and encouragement - game on

[HumanPerformance]

Time to make all the hard work pay off brother. Time to prove that muscle, sinew and an indomitable will can overcome mountains of cast iron.

I wont bother wishing you good luck, as only the ill prepared need luck to win! Own each weight brother. Its yours for the taking.

Awesome work VP, that's a heck of an improvement in five months :notworthy:

[Tonka]

It was a pleasure meeting you and F brother!! Great days lifting VP. Your lifts were solid and strong bro...you leave no doubt for refs when you squat and there is nothing more pleasing from a coaches point of view when that sort of form is shown on the platform in front of world class refs. Way to re-group and comeback and smoke your 155kg bench on your 3rd attempt. You did a huge jump from your first to your second (140kg opener, then 155kg) and like I said especially when benching RAW (and even in shirts) just keep the weight increases nice and close close 5-7.5kg at a time. All good though, we learn from these things. Just with the deads, you lost your form a little on the 255 attempt but the 250kg PR did take a lot out of you. This sport is all about manitaining your lifting process which equates to focus, approach and execution. I was impressed bro, you had a great day on the platform and your PR's were a just reward for the hard work you've put in over the last 8 months. Rest up my friend and then we are back into things on Monday as we start our conditioning week....yeeeaaaaahhh buddddy!!!

[Old Bull]

Good day in the Office Brother, well done rest up reset targets onwards and upwards.

Soild advice from Brother T. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Cheers brother,

Abit disappointed with bench but my fault just a rookie mistake jumping to much between lifts won't happen again should off nail that 155kg on second attempt and got 160 - 165kg on third attempt, never mind, alot to work on always learning got eat better on day got a headache after squats dehydrated my partner thinks to much energy drinks a not enough water probably right so just little things to touch up on.

Squats bang on what I thought i'll get, and deadlift was right on wanted to give 260kg ago but knew out of reach at present.

Bring on Nov 2010 brother.
