Functional strength through lifting

I dont know what Stronglifts is.

Is it just a rip off of Bill Starr's 5 X 5 program from the 70's?
 
Basically, yeah.

Starr, stronglifts, Rippetoe - lots of little variations but come down to the same thing, really.

Poo, I run comps at PTC 3 times a year. Around 10 interstaters fly in for each comp, including quite a few from QLD.

The comps are 5 lifts - squat - bench press - powerclean - overhead press - deadlift. I also do Strongman events. The last 5 lift comp was in fact won by a Queenslander, Tony.

He squatted 190kg to a 29cm high box, benched 150kg, cleaned 107.5kg, push pressed 100 overhead and deadlifted a PTC record of 265kg.

I started these comps to get my clients motivated. At the first comp I had 7 lifters. For Bash at the Beach 3, I already have around 30 lifters paid up and entered to compete.

They absolutely love it. The lifts are done raw, not even a belt is allowed. BATB3 is on September 19.

If you are interested in flying down and competing, I can hook you up with the QLD mob.

If you go to my website you can see results and pics from previous comps.

Actually, I may start a new thread inviting forum members to compete.

I like the style, I myself am very strict and only approach lifts Im determined to make. I block out weight completely and just consertrate on the rage building up inside, I make most my lifts out of adrenalin.
