    For anyone looking for info about who's lifting when and where... here's the poster...

    293958_10150360320922448_536567447_9702870_405415_n.jpg

    Should be a savage week of lifting, there's at least 5 or 6 boards members competing (Myself, Daz, Liam Henners?, gymfreak, VIS VIRES, _JOE_ ) if anyone is in the area next month it'll be worth checking out.

    I won't be competing.
    Not fully right after injury I picked up at GPC nationals in July & tbh, even if I was fully fit & had put in a good prep cycle I don't think I'd be at a sufficient standard to compete based on my own judgement.

    To even warrant going, I'd want to be hitting 180/120/230, all numbers I've never hit. Maybe sometime in the future.

    Prep is going alright.

    Had a decent Deadlift session last night, so I'm quite confident on that front.

    Squat is progressing nicely, I'll be interested to see what I can do. Have a few ideas.

    Bench is so-so.

    Also i'm competing in the 110's this time.

    Tbh, I can't wait!!!

    Time to make it rain.

    Spotter touched the bar making it look like a double movement which isn't allowed.
