Looking forward to seeing some vids of this, can't wait to see what sort of raw numbers Magnusson puts up. Its great to see Ireland represented too, a 5.5x bw squat would be incredible, regardless of what gear is used.

I don't think Matt Wenning is competing though

the drifter

Andy Bolton should be setting some PR's today too...

Can't wait to see how Ger does.

Here's a vid of Jonas Rantanen which I thought was awesome.

Heres the results



Magnusson got the raw DL record

edit: the bench in that vid looked no-where near locked out to me...

edit 2: apparently Ger McNamara got injured on his opener
