little_a said: Logically there isn't much. Bad backs, gurnie faces and involuntary faecal deposits aside the road to happiness is a big bench, a flash car and a younger bird. James Bond never deadlifted and he did alright. It's a known fact that people who deadlift will die. was a 90 year gent from france doing full power at the GPC europeans. they should interview him and ask him if it's caused him any back problems. | |||

| carb restriction, sodium restriction, bowel/bladder emptying (dandelion root/senna to help if need as low carbs can make you a little consipated) - that should probably see off 3.5kg without even worrying about water manipulation - remember water loading is just another mechanism to dehydrate via reducing ADH, aldosterone and getting a rebound affect and I find even mild dehydration hard to get over post weigh in - very glad the GPC do 24-hour. get an accurate set of scales and correlate to comp scales - don't do what i did and needlessly cut an extra 1.75kg 'just to be sure' | |||

| Great write up sounds like an eventful few days lol and well done getting that total despite the injury problems - don't see many raw 220+ benches in full power. | |||

LukeC said:Sounds like a good comp. The class delroy McQueen was in sounds very impressive, 3 900kg+ totals. Yeah was a one of those great battles for 1st where there's no idea until deadlifts between the Finnish guy and Davd jenkinson. | |||

FAT_SAM said:The heat was ridiculous yep but the comp was very well run IMO I got 280 / 220 / 280 Had more there on bench. Will do a write up after some kip! Yeah comp was superb - credit to promoter scott Halliday and GPC team. judging was very good and consistent too; spotters and loaders really on the ball despite the obvious energy sapping weather. | |||

| Excellent stuff - world class bench too at that bw. unusual to see both lifts so good which makes you a massive threat wherever you lift. | |||

| rugby has developed a culture of size at all cost which must make ped a massive temptation - remember back in early 90s when Kevin Iro at Wigan was 'massive' being something like 15 stone (but 6-4 tall) - you get halfs heavier now at far shorter height | |||

I am aware at how that is a silly thing to say and that anyone could be using! problem is do these athlete at this level of eliteness truly know every minutae of their training regime when in an environment of coaching teams, nutritionists team doctors doing so much for them. 'Healthy b12 injection' could easily be with added microdose of epo/test etc by an unscrupulous coach | |||

tommy32 said: iam like you mate i sweat thinking of lifting i have never done a powerlifting comp before so dont know what to expect i usually do strongman Only entered 2 myself but PL comps seem to take a long time due to number of competitors involved and all lifting one at a time. bad habit to avoid is warming up too soon and then not lifting for for 30 mins before opener - did it on both squats and DL this time again | |||

tommy32 said:what happend with the squat was it cramp or nerves is it reaily that hot in venue iam going to die then iam so heavy at min combination of heat, cramp, lingering calf injury and comp nerves. it was hot esp on stage a few others mentioned it - but I wear t-shirts in winter so it really depends how bad you feel it but I was sweating buckets all day. | |||
