Simon has powercleaned 115kg prior. He has shocking form, because he trains like a bodybuilder, flyes, curls, all that gay crap.
He wants to be strong as well as big, so he started coming to PTC once a week, about 8 weeks out from the comp.
First priority was to fix his squat, I hurt my back WATCHING him. He managed 170kg, an okay effort, considering thats what he benched.
He has poor flexibility when it comes to cleans, its shocking. He does no clean training at his gay commercial gym.
On the day of the comp, he was pumped, it was his first comp and his first clean. Because of his poor flexibility, he cant catch the bar, so he pulled it into his throat, which sent him flying backwards, with 110kg landing on him.
He recovered and made 115kg, then later pulled 250kg. He was back at PTC 4 days later.
Whats interesting is that he has been asking me for a program to do at the Gay Palace. I explained he didnt need a program, he had plenty of strength, he just needed to fix all the gay stuff created by BB moves. He mocked me. I told him he had the worst technique of anyone at PTC. He laughed, thought I was joking.
He then goes and does that. He is listening now.
We have never had a comp at PTC where somebody hasnt fallen over. Nina competed at the 2007 CAPO powerlifting Nationals, and I watched an experienced record holder drop a 180kg bar on his chest during the BP. He damaged some ribs. He had been competing for 2 decades.
Get strong enough, s h i t will happen, I promise you.
Gay BB ****, and no practice on practical lifting, will leave you a lifting cripple.
At the comp, Simon beat Nick by 1kg. You could say they are evenly matched, Simon weighed a mere 600gms more.
If Simon competes at the Strongman comp in January, whick Nick should win again, Simon wont finish top 10, not even close.
So they both weigh the same, lift the same, same age, yet Nick is a 100,000% better athlete.
Who's training right and who's not?
I hope this post helps.
