Karl Grant Dominates Adlington Push Pull
25th January 2010 - Posted by Rob
Saturday's Adlington Push and Pull featured a high calibre of lifting, including a number of 300kg+ deadlifts and three 400lb+ clean and jerks.
The winning total of 530kg was posted by Karl Grant, who clean and jerked 200kg on his second lift before pulling a monstrous 330kg deadlift with no belt or suit. There have been mentions from a number of Sugden members that Karl may be looking to make a debut on the U105 strongman scene this year.
The event itself went very smoothly, thanks in large to the efforts of Jeff Williams and other Adlington members. The scoreboard, video screen, MC and refreshments were all put together very well.

number of photos and Boar (silver medal winner in the log-for-reps challenge) has
uploaded videos of all lifts.
