You lifting with M&M from ns.com blue?

[Jack_Bauer]

Cool, what kind of lifting are you doing? Powerlifting or proper Olympic Weightlifting? What weight division? Your pressing strength needs some serious work by the looks of it!

Good luck, and try not to get buried! Just treat it as a learning experience and a way to learn from all the other lifters there who've been there and done it before, don't get too hung up on your numbers/position and end up going for lifts you don't have a chance of making.

Good Luck Bluey.

lol... many horror stories with lifting. Good luck. Don't be a statistic.

Hey, I do powerlifting, not sure if that's what you're about to do, but i've never been to a full meet yet. But good luck and you should post your body weight. Looking forward to the pictures.

[S.O.S]

Surely not 90kg bench press only blue ?. I was doing 70kg at school.

I used to squat 143kg for those that know .

I set a goal of 'not coming last' which I acheived, it was based on Wilks score so being 112.5kg I knew id struggle. It was a standard 5 lift comp. Learnt HEAPS from watching and talking to the other guys whove been doing it for years. My press is pretty average, got some exercised to fix that though.

Bodyweight at the comp was 112.5KG.

Totaled
32. Simon - 582.5kg @ 112.4kg - 340.58 Wilks

Squat: 145kg EQ PB
Bench Press: 90kg NEW PB
Clean: 90kg NEW PB
Over Head: 77.5kg NEW PB (think I couldve gone up to 85kg but didnt want to risk it)
Deadlift: 180kg NEW PB

Im aiming for a 700kg total by late January for the Australia day comp.

For the record, five lifters totalled over 800kg at the comp. Five lifters got over a 500 wilks score. MASSIVE.

I wont do mine, 30kg max that's all i have lifted since school, and back then 70kg bench press. I can do pull ups, does that mean anything?.

[Blue Supra]

Pullups are hard man. Do you do them under or over hand?
