WDFPF World Championships 2007

18-11-2007 08:26PM#1So I've been given the honours of letting everyone know how Hanley got on today at the Worlds in Scotland.
He put up a 220kg squat, 165 kg bench and a 250kg deadlift.
That's an improvement of 75kg on his total from the Nationals in Monaghan at the start of the year and a massive 130kg jump from the Worlds in Cork, this time last year.
That means that he walked away with overall best Junior and obviously is also the 100kg Junior World Champion.
It should have been a 230kg squat but there was a dodgy call from two of the judges and so he didn't get the lift I taped all the lifts so I'm sure he'll stick them up later and you'se can all see for yourselves how he was pretty much robbed on that one. It was still up by 30kg, so no complaining there.
Bench was looking solid and was up 15kg from this years Nationals.
Deadlifts were pretty savage, again I have them on video and the tension that was there was unbelievable during the 250kg pull but just can't be captured on tape. That's an improvement of 30kg from the Nats also.
They didn't have a most improved lifter category this year but I've no doubt that if they did it would have been Hanley.
I can't even begin to describe the dedication that he's put into his training. I'm sure any of you that have been following his log will agree with me but even if you haven't, go look now, I promise you that whatever day you happen to open the thread on you'll be impressed. He somehow manages to push beyond his comfort zone almost every single day that he walks into the gym and I think that the improvements that he's shown today really shw how worth it it all is.
I know Hanley has his own favourite moments and lifts of the day but for me personally it was seeing a 67 year old lady at 43kg pull 116.5kg and also having the pleasure to see another woman, this time only 74kg pull 195kg. They both put up other big numbers but I can't remember them offhand, I know I just thought 'wow' when I was looking at them.
I know that Ham will say it himself but I'd also like to say a big thank you to Tribulus and his girlfriend who came over too, to support and help Hanley set up on the big day!!
So yeah, CONGRATULATIONS to Hanley!!!

Thanks to all who've replied so far, it really was great day, I'm sure he'll be on himself later to say thanks and give all the gorey details but he's pretty bloody shattered now!!
I forgot to say in my first post, he's now holds the 90kg and 100kg bench press national record!!crotalus667 wrote: »

Haven't a notion, we were only around for a little while on Saturday and caught the end of the deadlifts.0 -

Damn... people born in 1987(?) can squat 235kg? That makes me feel old... and feeble Congrats!
July '86 actually.... I didn't get the 235kg squat anyway (I did 230kg but it got turned down 2-1 by the judges).
Thanks to everyone for all the congratz. I'll try and get some video's up tonight or tomorrow.0 -

Congratulations. I was always under the impression you just lifted for fun... not serious fun out of interest what were the jaffa cakes for ? quick energy?Breakfast of champions? Literally!
Hahaha love it.
I just brought them over because they're quick and easy to eat between flights. I only had about 60 mins at most to rest and get food in before starting my next lifts warm ups so I needed something light on my stomach. Had a protein bar or two between each flight too, and about 4 litres of lucozade over the course of the day too.
Running straight thru like with only 2 flights on a platform like we had to is VERY VERY hard, especially when you start lifting at 10.15am. I don't think I can even begin to describe how draining it is. You're literally ON for 6 straight hours. If you're not lifting, you're warming up or trying to eat and drink enough to keep energy levels up. And doing it equipped is even harder again because your CNS takes such a hammering. For example my legs were still numb and my hands were shaking as I was starting my bench warm ups. If you prepare properly and bring the right stuff, it's very easy to get thru longer meets because you can relax a bit and gather your thoughts before psyching up for the next attempts.0 -

Savage video, pity about the music
Congratulations again!!
I've just been thinking back over some memorable moments from the lifting that we saw:
That guy who was blind and deaf and pulled 200kg with absolutely no bother to him was probably the most inspiring lift I saw tha whole weekend. ( no offence to you, yours were pretty inspiring too).
Also, Gladys, the French lady who pulled 205kg on Saturday was pretty awesome.
For the women on Sunday, I'd have to go with Mary Anderson...that woman is in a league all of her own. She is just a phenomenol lifter like. I can't remember her squat, it was rediculously high though, i think her bench was 105kg and her deadlift was 190kg all at 74kg. Just outstanding lifting all round from her.0 -
