Guys, what does "Deadlift 2inch bar of 18inch platform" mean? I don't understand the wording, is the bar at 18"?

Young Kenny might make his debut in the U90kg but wants to test the events out first, he pulled 18 reps from 18" in 90 secs last night (bodyweight 70kg) so I thought I may have had it wrong?

cheers

great comp, thank u to dave meer and co for all there efforts. well done to everyone who competed , i thought it was quite a tight field. a little write of my performance.

the first event was a 300kg yoke 20m,not a bad start i ran it 9.81 secs pb and won the event. then came a 120kg log, pressing is not one of my strong points so i was happy with 5 reps pb , joint 2nd. after 2 events i was first and i couldn't beleive it.axle deadlift 255kg was next and didn't do well can do better ,but these things happen, i got 4 reps. the front hold was a hard one with 11 or 12 secs winning it i think , i got 5 secs. then last up was 130kg stone for reps over a yoke and i managed 4 in the minute. with a 4th place overall i'm very happy with that because my fitness is getting better and things are moving in the right direction. also a big well done to my training partners danny davis and martin bellis for great performances .

Had a good solid competition with some good new lads coming along. The under 90k class was a big success and all the lads did extremely well, after talking to Bob Daglish we agreed that if the support and interest for the under 90 class continues then we at Elite shall be running a few more shows in 2009 (with the possibility of a national championships) .

Big congratulations to our two winners Ben and Jason and will expect to see some of the top heavy weights doing well in the open events next year.

Big thanks to all the athletes, Body FX Gym, my "crew" (Si, Adam, Paul, Rob, Laura and Joshua) and to all those who came to support the show!!
