PA Nationals - Land of the Pharaohs

[strong enough?]

This is singly-ply WADA drug-tested powerlifting.

But on day 2 you will definitely see some 700b deadlifts, possibly 1-2 600lb benches, and maybe 1-2 800lb squats.

 

[bongobongo]

ok- sounds good enough to me!

 

[PTC]

oh
so no one does that in PA?

I thought you competed in PA.

I must have misread something you wrote.

[Ben]

Nice.

Got any pics or vids?

 

[PTC]

Say high to Chucky for me, and tell him I have a great video of him dropping 230kg on his neck while benching.

I vomited a little in my mouth when I saw that.

 

[Ben]

Post it up Markos...

I'd hardly call it a waste.. After all Rugby is the game they play in heaven. May as well get some practice in while we are here.

Dont think I will, its Chucky's decision really.

I have far more dramatic footage of a lifter powercleaning 115kg with horrendous form, smacking themselves in the throat with the bar, knocking themselves off there feet, and having 115kg landing on them. The bruising was extensive. I've never put that footage up either, but there is a pic titled EXTREME MILITARY PRESS floating around the net.

 

[PTC]

Here you go lol

 

[bongobongo]

ouch- thats gotta hurt- cool pic though.

I work just down the road from there, I saw the sign while driving past and thought it would have been a very niche powerlifting gym, it's tucked away in the old cotton mills somewhere isn't it?
