2015 press competition

[spartacus]

for some reason, it keeps coming up as private no matter what I do

 

[spartacus]

canned tuna still has lead due to lifting from floor and being within 1 point.

 

[Russell Coight]

Yep worked. nice.

 

[canned tuna]

Great press Sparta. I say you should be in the lead now mate

 

[spartacus]

actually I think I am just in front; I think I will change it by adding 2.5kg to lift when working out score, if lifted from floor.

what do you guys think?

 

[vonfram88]

If it is lifted from floor the bar has to stop before pressing - no thrusters or push presses.

 

[Kyle Aaron]

No need to add, sufficient that from the floor is considered more legit, I mean even those who have never trained a clean can usually muscle up whatever they can press...

 

[spartacus]

yes, pause once cleaned.

I will add 2.5kg for score if cleaned from floor, which will mean that Spartacus goes down to second.

 

[spartacus]

vonfram and I like to encourage people to be complete lifters.

 

[canned tuna]

Is my second press considered to meet these criteria?

First one definitely felt like legs were coming in.. But second looked/felt clean-cut

 

[spartacus]

Canned tuna, your posted lifts are ok, future presses after clean will need a pause.

 

[vonfram88]

I will start training wide grip power cleans for this one - I can't press it from my narrow clean grip

 

[spartacus]

excellent, we want to see some 100kg+ lifts.

Von, this is your time to shine.

[vonfram88]

90kg @ 101.2kg no warmup no belt.

100 next week if shoulders aren't wrecked from pull-up challenge

can we do it behind the neck? I can lift more that way.

haha perfectly timed camera fail. Nice lift!

 

[Repacked]

Wd.

 

[spartacus]

ok, good lift. will upgrade later. new leader.

What birthyear, von. 1958?

no, it is a military press, not press behind neck

 

[Timeah]

Nice work Von!
Did your cameraman fall over?

 

[spartacus]
