Well done on the twins and well done for putting such a good press in such an irritating lift, makes it even more impressive

Excellent!

I predict we will now see Steve Leigh in a shirt before Christmas, which will be fun for us Grin.

Thought we might - but he's still got the three lift bench record, hasn't he?

He has, yes. But I wouldn't be surprised Happy. You could see the thought processes beginning after Ben Banks took that attempt at the nationals...

i was loading when steve pressed 252.5 i remember thinking how loose his shirt was and how easy the press looked

i don't know steve or his training methods but i have heard he presses 230 raw? in a good well fitted shirt i would not be suprised to see him hit 270+

His best raw press is 250. He can hit 227 any time he's asked to, really - he did so last week as a demonstration, when Alan asked him to. He'd already done his 5x5 work sets.

Scary man Happy.

Have you met Steve???

Scary is a word that I would say describes him well!!

Genuinely nice bloke though and crazy strong bencher.
