Max won the Gold Medal and finished in first place in the 82.5kg class. they combined the WPC and AWPC together and he won by 5kg.
He totalled 490kg. we under calculated his squat and left 10kg on the platform, he smashed 172.5kg for a PB. we decided to not go for a 4th attempt as we were here to win, not hit PB's.
in the bench he had dramas with his hand spacing as the knurling is very different to our bars, and he missed 110kg but made 107.5kg.
He was pretty stuffed by the dead as it was 2.30pm and he hadnt eaten all day.
We knew what the other guy was taking, so Max took 210kg on his opener and hoped it would be enough for the win, and it was.
Quite a few lifters dropped out, so it was only 2 lifters in the class which is dissapointing, but the guys that dropped out were lifting well below Max and the other guy anyway.
I'm going back into the presentation
