strong enough?

fantastic to see some proper depth squats! None of those were even close to being borderline to judge.

Markos, Loved the comp, was an excellent day. And went very smoothly with no hiccups (that i noticed anyway), which is even more special considering it was a first time.
Was good meeting some new guys and sharing tips and stories. And the atmosphere 'out back' in the warmup area was exactly what you want at a PL meet - everyone supporting each other.
Personally, I don't think the rising bar setup worked as well as it could have. I think much of this was due to the lack of close competition at the top end (ie, Matt not doing his first squat until everyone had finished all their 3 lifts). I don't no if you have had other feedback on this?
I reckon though with more numbers and tighter competition going forward rising bar would still have its place.
So yea, I was impressed! and seeing Matt - same age and weight as me - lifting those numbers has really inspired me now! Bring on PR2 =D

Rising bar is history, took WAY too long on the squats. We couldnt get the next lifter ready until the guy on the platform got off and gave us his next attempt.
Back to rounds from now on.
Here is an email I got from Sean Katterle for Clash of the Titans in the States, funny shit
No bench shirts to let people trampoline the weight off their guts.
No deadlift suits to give pullers an artificial pop off the floor.
No lifting straps to help weak handed weight lifters to hang on to what they're not strong enough to hold on their own.
No local yokel show where the competitors' buddies pass any crap they try and sell as a contest lift on the powerlifting stage.
No table full of first place trophies where everyone's a national champion and a state record holder.
And no gathering of training partners/spotters to give hands on spots, turning the powerlifts into a team event.
This is the pro show where the frauds, phonies and pretenders spend months preparing their excuses as to why they can't make the trip. Since 2006, MHP's Kings of the Bench & Clash of the Titans have been the proving ground where legitimate, elite, strength athletes meet to compete and to test their might.
If you weigh 175 pounds or less and can raw bench 350+ pounds FOR REAL..........
If you can raw bench 450+ pounds FOR REAL (at any bodyweight).........
Or if you can raw deadlift 600+ pounds all on your own.................
Then make the decision to step up and to really become a part of the sport of classic powerlifting!

Id like to thank everyone that was involved in ProRaw One, it was an amazing day to be amoungst such great lifters and to see some serious weights being lifted not to mention the electric atmosphere.
This was my first comp after joining the world of powerlifting 8 months ago, training at PTC. Since i joined I have given away my footy come back and after the weekend i know why.
It is no suprise ProRaw One took off aswell as it did. Markos and his family have such a passion towards lifting and seeing others succeed its great to see their efforts rewarded. The generosity to offer up so much as prize money for a first comp shows why such big names came on board as members. Thank you
Im looking forward to ProRaw 2 - reps challenge just trying to figure out how im gonna get 100kg above my head lol
