Ah it’s hard to get all 3 lifts perfect. Close to 120 ain’t bad in fairness.
Not everyone can be Clarence Kennedy

No. Clarence is in comp in Dublin in August. Will be interesting to see how his numbers translate to a meet and all that a comp entails.

Are they different federations or will they more than likely meet each other at some point?

IPF rules in August but not a tested IPF comp. Not a particular federation for this comp...people from other feds will compete, I think. That was the case last year anyway.

Clarence hasn't said he'll start competing anyway. He just happens to be doing this competition.

Barry competes with the IPF.

Clarence has never competed in powerlifting before. He's an olympic lifter. August will be his powerlifting debut. The event is following IPF rules in terms of rules and equipment but is a nonsanctioned event, so no testing and no records from it would be official. It is more of an exhibition event than anything else.

Don't know if Barry will compete at this. I think he's is competing at worlds in June. He might do this for the craic.

If memory serves me correctly I think Clarence has
340kg DL With straps
300kg Squat
200kg Bench
Not saying he’ll hit these numbers in comp, but how do those compare to Barry piggots?

Barry’s best is a 300kg squat, 220kg bench and 310kg deadlift. He missed an unofficial world record 225kg bench at nationals because his ass came off the bench.

The unknown is how he puts a total together on a single day under competition conditions. Tiredness, possibly less rest time between lifts, etc come into play

I know a year or so ago he was doing 202.5kg bench, dunno if it improved from then.

That was an awesome lift and great performance all round !! Pleasure to share the platform with you !! As for me managed a 260 squat (matching a gym PB) miss a 270 just lost it half way back up ... and put a small Pb on my bench and deadlift was still well behind where I should be .. just hasn’t been happening for me!!

Depth in the squats was a big focus in this comp and great to see the rules being applied properly and fairly!

Mr. CooL ICE

Saw '272.5kg' and thought "why not just for 5 red plates?". Then I watched it...

After years of being in the wilderness I am finally (on the dot) no longer classified as overweight by the BMI scale.

New to this lark, 40 in a few months and there is some family history to worry about that has made me get off the couch. Started program in local gym in Feb. Started from a very low base and very much overweight.

Program - Warm up
Resitance - Chest Press, Low Seated Row, Leg press, Reverse and Pull down, Dumbells,
Sit ups and a Pilate move
Finish up with 20 mins on Cardio machine either free runner or cross trainer.

The habit is taking now, the routine is getting easier so adding weights / reps, meeting personal trainer every 3 weeks to change up routine. The goal is to lose weight, feel good and get stronger. Haven't really changed my diet yet, cut out some crap, I'm not great on variety of eating. I have removed 4 kilos in 2 months, should have done a little better however work travel hindered me a bit.

Looking forward to adding more to my routine, would like to target the belly a bit more. I do feel a little intimidated in the free weights area hoping that I can feel better and get used to it. Happy in the machine lifting area. The Sauna to finish off is my carrot to get there.

I need goals to focus on other than weight loss I am guessing, any suggestions ?

I lost 2 kg last week

Blacktie.

Squat PR with 192.5kg at somewhere between 8-8.5. Def. have 200kg in me now. A lot more confident with that PR done. Test day in 3 weeks. The aim was 200 but now I'm thinking 205.

Blacktie.

3x1 200kg squats. Woo 5 spotter squat club! First two sets had dodgey depth. Last set was probably best for it but still borderline. Only got the second one recorded as the spotters blocked the camera for the other two .

#Weddingshredding has been coming along nicely. Lost 6kg since mid-January. Only 3 weeks to go now! :eek:

Its crazy how only a few kg coming off adds to your definition.

ixus

145kg bench out of the blue just felt like testing. Failed on way back up with 150kg.
Previous was 135kg about 3/4 months ago. Barely been training, once/ twice a week so not Sure where it came from.

Chev_Chelios

I'm now at 177lbs at a height of 6'0. I finally don't feel skinny anymore which I hated. Seeing more definition in the shoulder and chest area which is nice. I have a log here that I must update too.
