Adlington Push and Pull Open - 2010

January 23rd 2010

This will be a charity event, raising money for the New Manchester Childrens Hospital charity.

Due to the success of previous Adlington events, we have decided this time round to make it bigger and even better!!!!

The event will be run at a new venue, kindly provided by Adlington Barbell Club President – ‘Handsome’ Fred Smith, and A6 Storage Mill Lane Whittle-Le-Woods Chorley PR6 7LX

· Continental cleans are allowed.
· Multiple attempts (within the time limit) are allowed
· No press out rule

Lift two:

Deadlift: Traditional deadlift rules apply. The bar must be raised to point where the hips are locked and shoulders are back, before a down signal will be given.

Each competitor will be allowed three attempts for each lift.

yes f**king please

Love the video, great idea too

Sounds good, but to me the minimum openening deadlift looks light compared to the minimum overhead for the full push and pull?

I think I placed okay overall last time (and with a non-hitched unequipped deadlift) and had a really good day but the criteria rules me out unless I can add 5kg to my overhead by then.

Yet more motivation to improve my overhead I guess!

thats oly lifters for you BETTER SORT OUT THE OVERHEAD!!!

This will be one of the main dates i will train towards. 120 will be routine by that time!

I'll load one end.

The charity looks like it will be the new Manchester Childrens Hospital. Awaiting confirmation from them on this.

Had mails wanting to lift off Karl Grant, Adam Travis and Andy Goswell. None of them are talking less than 200K OH. Suspect one or two board members will be up for it too.

I'm in.

some good options there to entice many a beast !!

you gonna put 200kg to bed andy ?

Does 'no press out rule' mean that there will be no rule on press-outs (so they are allowed), or that there will be no press-outs allowed?

Looks like it's going to be a top day!

It means that there is no rule on press-outs, as long as it goes up it passes!!

Get your name down Millsy!!!!

Space for a little un?

lil bit out of my depth i think... although looks like itl shape up to be a good event!

Can I play????
