2015 press competition

[spartacus]

tuna, you can come back and beat your lift; I am going for 85kg next week.

 

[canned tuna]

Maybe, I am out of form and needing to focus on the big 3 for upcoming comp in Oct.
Looked like you have a good amount in the tank still, good luck mate

 

[spartacus]

good luck with Rocktober comp tuna.

 

[spartacus]

double (after clean) on 77.5kg at end of heavy part of cycle, so hoping for 85kg Monday week

 

[spartacus]

come on guys, I think I will test the lead on Monday.

I will not be happy if a 53 year old leads this test from floor to overhead.

Bazza, anyone?

I won't be pushing the limits Spart. Would have liked to hit 75 if I started from the start of the year but trying to cut and make strength gains just doesn't happen for me. Its getting hard enough to maintain the same lifts on lower cals and a dropping bw (which I guess makes the figures better but only slightly as I'm not looking at losing a heap of weight)

 

[spartacus]

will have a new one in 2016, so plenty of opportunities.

 

[Timeah]

I really want to attempt a new max on this. Chomping at the bit!!!

Everyone given up on this or what? No recent figures

I warned up crap, but surprised myself.

Now aim is to get 4 reps on 80kg before going for max later in year.

 

[White_Lie]

Nice numbers Spart, well done!

 

[spartacus]

thanks white lie, clip added.

to get my bodyweight though, I am probably going to have to put on a few kilos, hopefully do it around 93kg.

 

[White_Lie]

A bodyweight clean and press will be a good accomplishment of strength for sure

 

[spartacus]

yes, I am going to focus on press until early November, and then move to bench for a comp in Dec.

I did 8 strict reps on 100kg bench press after press. so feel that lift is also going up again. Still a way to go, although was 95-96kg in 2011, I did 137.5kg touch and go bench then, along with 16 reps on 100kg, and 87.5kg press from rack.
