i understand what you mean, but to be honest i think i think i rather dumb bells, and their always free as not many people go near the heavier ones.
the dumbells go up to 50kg, which is a good weight, the most i have ever gotten is 46kg for sets of 5-6. So if i can get up to using the 50kg ones i will be very happy :pac:
strangly enough, as i have lost weight on a cut, my shoulder push press has gone up
:D
when ever im having a ****ty gym day, i use it as my motivation lift, feels good to have the 50kg dumbell in full control over my head.:)
Anyhow, back to original point, cheers for the information and the link, all my questions were answered:)0 -

Does junior mean under 23, or does it include 23 year olds??
And how is weight determined? we all know that boxers and mma fighters can often shead a lot of water befor being weighed in and can be maybe up to 10 pounds heavier when in the ring than when they weighed in
just curious, my goal at the moment is to shead a bit more fat, maintain muscle. get down to about 11stone 10pounds.and then clean bulk for ever:pac::D
aims are, to get back to and beat all my lifts before i started cutting.
So i want 140kg squat, i want 110kg bench press, deadlift is new so work at that.
and then work up from there.
i would love to keep working at single arm shoulder push presses would be sweet to get a bodyweight rep:pac: but dumbells stop at 50kg
So goals for this year are
Bench: 5 rep max 115kg
Squat: 5 rep max 150kg
deadlift: five rep max: 200kg
:pac::) Shur we will see what happens:rolleyes: 0 -

Depends on the federation. Some have 24 hour weigh ins in which case you could afford to to drop the last bit of weight and still have a chance to rehydrate etc before the comp.
The IDFPA have weigh ins on the morning of the competition so it's really not a good idea to try and cut that much weight. You won't have a chance to put it back on before the comp and will be amazed by the drop off in strength. I've seen a couple of people try and do this and the result is never good.just curious, my goal at the moment is to shead a bit more fat, maintain muscle. get down to about 11stone 10pounds.and then clean bulk for ever:pac::D

Just wondering. I was just wondering how come there are so many World Record Holders in Ireland wih the IDFPA? Is it a mainly Irish organisation? How many competitors worldwide does it have? I was just reading Podge's entry about the competition yesterday and it got me wondering.
The reason I ask is because it sort of reminds me of the kickboxing organisations I used to be around (and still am to some extent). For those not in the know, pretty much everybody you meet in Ireland in kickboxing is a world champ, or trains with a world champ. And when you ask who they fought to lift the world title you discover he was from Cork or Galway. They're basically kings of their own back yard, fighting among each other, rarely internationally for "world titles" that mysteriously never materialise outside of Ireland.
Is it the same in powerlifting? If it's not, it's an amazing achievement for so many Irish lifters to have broken WRs. In fact if I'm not mistaken that means that this must be the most world recordly forum in the world. Hanley and G'em hold world records right?
Lol, what makes you think there's so many world record holders on the Board?? I think you might be confused with national records holder, in which case I still don't think there's that many here relative to the number lifters as a whole.
Just fyi tho, you should have a look at the World Records. There's not as many Irish World Record holders as you seem to think.
The IDFPA is the IRISH drug free powerlifting association, so yeah, I would say it's mainly an Irish fed
. It's affiliated to teh WDFPF tho, which is obviously international. Not too sure on how many competitors it has, there hasn't been to my knowledge, an official announcement on the number of members. Having said that tho, at the last international event I was at there was roughly 150 lifters and that's a very conservative guess. There was only a handful of Irish lifting that day too. Also you have to bear in mind that not everyone who competes was lifting that day. The federation as a whole is pretty huge and people can break world records an national competitions.
It's a young federation, so records are borken quite frequently, but as they're broken the standard is being increased. Every lifter is entered into their open and individual age and weight class so if you want to look at the real competition, look there.0 -
