Member 1953, 852 posts SQ 185, BP 160, DL 220565.0 kgs @ 87kgs UnEq | What a beast, well done big man, must be more there on the squat, 250 didnt look too taxing (form looks real good), shove some wraps on and see what you can get  bench is also looking good! uber jelly of strength! | ||

 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | That squat was a peach! It must have felt like the bar was on your chest for an age before you got the press command, great fight too | ||

no really Irish Member 1196, 5908 posts SQ 312, BP 230, DL 320862.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 22.04.2013 @ 09:48 AM by IrishMarc Cheers lads! Scottish Open 2013 We got there for 10.50 weighed in at 100.5 and was ready to go pretty stress less experience. There were 40 lifters in a tiny venue so everyone knew we were going to be in for a long day. It was ran in 3 flight so it worked like Group 1 - warm up then squat Group 2 - Warm up when group 1 are squatting then squat Group 3 - Warm up when group 2 are squatting then squat Group 4 - Warm up when group 3 are squatting then bench etc.. Which actually worked really well we were finished for 5.30PM which is much earlier then I thought we would manage. Spent the first 90 mins of the day helping the two female lifter we brought and big Ali on there squats so that helped to pass the time and enjoyed it loads. Andy and Nick took over coaching duties from there and did a great job. Squat Warm Ups bw squats / mobility bar x 5 60kg 2x3 100kg x 2 140kg x 2 180kg x 2 (wobbly but strong) Belt On 200kg x 1 (again a bit wobbly but feeling snappy) 220kg x 1 (good speed) Platform First Attempt - 240 kg - good lift (really easy squat / neil really helped with his ear twisting technique! was getting me riled up good) Second Attempt - 250kg - good lift (again felt pretty easy was thinking maybe 5kg more but decided to stick to the plan). Third Attempt - 260kg - missed it out of the hole knew it wasn't going to go. Good job I got Ali, Nick and Neil to spot me as they took it as soon as I said take it and saved my back from snapping in 2. Bench Press Warm Ups bar 2x10 60kg x 3 60kg feet up - 10 bottom half - 10 top half - 5 full 110kg x 2 140kg x 2 160kg x 1 (trying old arch) 160kg x 1 (trying new set up) 160kg x 1 (trying new set up with belt) Decided from people telling me which looked better that the new set up was snappier and I was finding it much easier to get my feet flat so went with that. Platform First Attempt - 180kg - good lift easy enough Second Attempt - 192.5kg - fail someone from the crowd shouted up so I just pressed it and missed the command. My head was up as well too which would have failed me the lift anyway : Third Attempt - 192.5kg - Good lift Deadlift Getting to this stage I was absolutely shattered could barely think straight but I was in good spirits so just bashed on. 100kg x 2 140kg x 2 180kg x 2 220kg x 1 Belt On 250kg x 1 Platform 270kg - Good lift - easy smooth pull but not feeling particularly snappy. 280kg - fail - supporting the weight on my thighs? not sure but pretty gutted not to get it as it stopped me advancing my total. 280kg - Good Lift - Decent enough attacked it from the floor more and made the lock out easier. 722.5 kg Total (+22.5 kg comp PB) - 438 wilks Came second overall to an Equipped 93 lifter who did the same total and won best lifter : . Not normally one to gripe but the trophy was a cool whiskey glass and there was no prize for best unequipped and best equipped lifter felt a bit robbed to be honest. Overall good day out and great to get more lifter from Edinburgh on the Platform was genuinely amazing to get more girls in on the sport and would like to keep growing the numbers as it adds a nice dimension to the comp and makes it a bit more worthwhile for the women who do compete. Ali went 300 / 160 / 320. He was unlucky to get his third bench attempt of 180 failed. They failed it for heel lift but didn't tell him to rack it and reset I pretty much knew he was going to fail from the outset... Still good performance and much more to come. Cat and Vic did awesome for their first run out loads of PBs and handled the nerves really well. Yusef did good and is always game to have a go but he needs to sort his training out but got plenty of potential. Big thanks to Laura, Andy and Nick for coming to show their support and helping out with coaching and loading (lol). Really do appreciate you all coming I know powerlifting is boring as f**k but having some support really does help. | ||

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's Member 3387, 2532 posts SQ 275, BP 200, DL 290765.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | Strong work, with you failing your 2nd lift but still doing it easy did you not fancy upping your third attempt if you were chasing a total? | ||

I just wanted to make sure of getting the 280 in to make sure I got a 720+ in. With a few tweaks and some different weights choices better luck I could have went 730-735 but it's all a learning experience happy with it over all. | ||

knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Impressive lifting yesterday from you and all of team Edinburgh. From the angle on the vid your 2nd deadlift looked fine to me. Plus you've more to come on each lift so your total will continue to climb for sure. | ||
