Im not putting that lift down 173kg is a beast lift but if he could get technique into it to make it more a push press i think alot more weight could be achieved.

If he can double 173, surely he would nail big Dave Meers 182.5KG British Record?

With better leg drive, quite possibly, if he can clean it.

Did he not clean it?

Surely the leg drive is irrelevant. Would a 173 'strict' double, not equate to a 182.5KG press in your opinion?

Difficult to say. Both reps were fairly slow. Would an extra 10Kg have gone up? Not sure.

The chalk just above his belly is a telltale sign that he continental cleaned it.

Thanks guys, I wasn't planning on maxing out but I did a few reps with 160 so I thought I try some more weight, plus I was feeling left out after watching them two big hairy bas***ds pressing good numbers (Dave and Loz). I usually put more legs into my axle press but my legs were fckd from my event's training on the Sunday. I did this on Tuesday at 9pm after working a long day, wasn't too pretty but I'm happy with it.
By the way, I did get it to my chest with a continental clean but my friend doing the video pressed the wrong button and missed it. Most people know that the continental clean is not a problem for me, not pretty but it works.
