Auckland Champs 2013
Age: 26
Weight: 113.98 kg
Squat:
1st: 300, 3 whites – easy
2nd: 315, 3 whites – same as 300
3rd: 325, 2 whites – (1 red from centre ref for depth) also felt the same as 300
I planned to go a bit easier in the squat, I used a looser squat suit than I would normally use (46 instead of 44), raw strength has improved.
Bench:
1st: 207.5, 2 whites – good drive to lockout
2rd: 215, 3 whites – a bit of lag on the left, steady through to lockout, 2.5K PB
3rd: 220, 3 reds – ran out of steam a few inches short of lockout
Technique was better than the last two comps. Happy to get some progress on my hardest lift.
Deadlift:
1st: 295, 3 whites – straight to lockout
2nd: 310, 3 whites – steady through to lockout
3rd: 315, 3 reds – weight was momentarily locked out before loosing balance backward
Balance issue again, I need to work more in this area. I’m still happy with the result as I used a looser deadlift suit like I did in the squat (46 instead of 44), raw strength has also improved here.
Total: 850k – 5k PB, 1st in the 120k class, best equipped male overall.
Good start to the year, a lot left in the tank for the Nationals & Commonwealths.
It was a good day in general with a lot of good lifting, our biggest Auckland champs yet.
A big thanks to Getstrength, Kevin & John for helping on the day.
I don’t have any video footage yet but ill upload something if I’m able to get it.
Looking forward to the National Champs in August.
