true- and he did well.

Interesting to note that out of 44 three lift competitors there was only 1 bomb and of the 10 bench only competitors there were no bombs.

I think there's something in that for all of us...don't you!

In the first two rounds of squat for the 105kg and higher, there was no fail at all. Then strong_enough? failed his 3rd squat and it all went down hill from there, as the judges said.

Maybe it's harder to bomb raw?

 

[jonnie_sfw]

way to ruin it for the others strong enough!

 

[TGM]

Is bombing equipped more common then bombing raw?

 

[PTC]

Oh fuck yes

 

[jonnie_sfw]

^^ What he (^) said!

 

[strong enough?]

I was having a joke with Paul and Nathan Baxter back stage about it. The announcer totally mozzed me for my third.

In raw you can't bomb out because the weight is NOT heavy enough.

It was awesome seeing Leigh Wisby lift.....heard so many awesome stories about that guy. Apparently Leigh squatted 375 single ply old school suit back in the day?

 

[PTC]

Spiros spotted a few of his lifts.

He was "The Man" back in the day, trained a few times with Adam Coe at Tarzan & Jane

Matt's 690 @93 was the best wilks of the day

he won the juniors, couldn't take out the open best lifter that DJ won because of not being in PA for 6 months prior

but let's still congratulate matt

next year the double will be official

385

Was that in 1990 at the Nats in Moorabin?

 

[HawkeyeMcHawkeye]

I realised I haven't missed a squat in the sense of failing to lift the weight in comp or training since April 2008. I'm not trying hard enough.

Thats such a testament to both you and the sheiko style programming SP. Magic. After reading this i realised im the same. Obviously no where near your weight numbers and admittedly lots of reds for technicalitlies but 2 years ago you wisely introduced me to Dave and sheiko and i wrote to him that my PR squat was 180kg. I havent physically failed a comp squat since and hit 245 this month! Sheiko power!

Matt def was best on the day! awesoem lifting!!! DJ was third on Wilks (including Matt) as I managed to squeeze inbetween with a 431 (matt 435 and DJ 426).

Thanks for your help on the day to Minh withthe racks, worked out fine (except for my pathetic bnech effort ;-)

Cant wait to rip up conventional deads again and go toe to toe with big Matt

 

[deathevocation]

Scott are you going to focus on raw? What about Matt (I suppose this question is for Minh) - is he going to focus on raw?

 

[DrSquat]

raw for me all the way.
