Okay, a client of mine has been able to secure Oakley gear as a prize for another comp, with all proceeds going to our trip to the WPC Raw Worlds in September.
The comp is quite a simple one and is aimed at the average gym lifter, not the competative powerlifter, although anyone that lifts weights will do well.
The comp will consist of the 3 main lifts, squat, bench press and deadlift.
First up, the Squat. We will load the bar to 1 1/2 times bodyweight, and the lifter will do as many legal squats as possible. The lifter must hit parallel.
Second up, the bench press. We will use bodyweight on this one.All reps will be touch and go. The lifter will lower the bar till it touches the chest, then pressed to lockout.
Lastly, the deadlift. The lifter will use double bodyweight and do as many reps as possible. No bouncing, the bar starts from a dead stop, the hands cant come off the bar. As with the squat, I will give the lifter a hurry up if he is stalling too long.
Lifter with the most total reps wins.
First prize is a pair of Oakley Oil Rig sunglasses in white with black irridium lenses, retail is just over $200.
I also have Oakley T Shirts and a cap. So far the total prize money is around $350. There may be more to come.
The comp will be held at PTC Frankston, 21 Stansfield Crt Frankston on Sunday the 1st of August.
This is 2 weeks before the Nats, and a rep comp should not affect your lifting for the Nats. If it does, you possibly shouldnt be competing at the Nats.
I'd like to say a big thank you to Rob and Vicki for supporting PTC and Max as much as they do.
Entry cost is $30, and please let me know if you plan to compete.
Cheers
Markos
Ive done 11 bw bench presses before, would do 5-10 1.5bw squats, never done a 2xbw dl :/.
Markos you should have something everyone in Australia could get involved in, make it simple, like a bw bench for reps competition, entry by video, you have to shows the weights, and load the bar up before the lift, you get to count how many legal reps there is. $5 entry.
If that works, it can only get better.
Markos,
If someone were to buy a Brisbane PTC franchise off you I'd go. Wish you were up here mate.
Cheers,
Mike
I here ya and agree completely. Would be nice to see a similar mentality in a garage up here somewhere though. I'm rapidly losing patience with FF and the lack of lifters there. No support, no assistance, no spot, no aggression, no chalk, no lift form guidance, no experience... you get the idea.Markos and the regular lifters MAKE PTC. You could never replecate that.
