Went to FitX yesterday, it was great to see so many PTC lifters there. We spent most of the day around the Ironedge stand and the stage.
For those of you that get my newsletters, heres what happened yesterday, and exactly what I've been talking about.
Max got pretty crook on Wednesday night. Jeese, Nina have all been hit with the same bug.
He didnt train on Thursday or Friday, he hardly ate a thing. On Saturday he did a light full body session, 160kg squat, 100kg bench, 200kg dead, all for a few singles. He still wasnt eating.
Sunday morning were ready to go to FitX, but he feels like shit. He asks Nina to boil him up some of that Immune System brew she makes, garlic, ginger, chilli, lemon, honey.
We get to the show and rock up to the Ironedge stand, we meet Jack, Wayne,Sussy, Sean, Mick, Kat, Jason and a few others there.
Rick wants some action. He asks Max to do some Cannonballs with the 80kg KB. Max is not feeling to good, but he does it for Rick because he does so much for us, and Rick doesnt know Max is crook.
He knocks out 10 reps, a big crowd is gathering. Rick asks Max to do some box squats.
Max is in his cargo shorts, flat sole kicks. No sleeves, no squat shoes. He needs to walk the weight out quite a few meters because of where the Matrix rack is positioned. He is now in an isle. The crowd is getting very large.
He starts with 50kg, 70kg, 100kg, 150, 170kg and finally does 200kg x 3. He is crook, wrong shoes, wrong shorts, no sleeves, lifted yesterday. He was probably only 71-72kg yesterday, yet with all those wrong conditions, crook, on a non training day, in a strange place, having to walk out 200kg around 3 metres, he got it done.
Thats why when these "elite" powerlifting coaches try and talk to him about technique, he laughs at them. If they knew how low his opinion was of them, they wouldnt talk to him. He's too nice to say anything. If this resembles anyone reading this, fuck off.
Like Max always says, Anytime, Anything, Anywhere, thats what he trains for.
It was great to see everyone watching give him a rousing hand of applause, yet no one else new how sick he was.
A few people filmed it, it may end up on Youtube. Setanta Ohailpin was watching, Max got a pick with him later.
A LIFTER who competes in powerlifting, not a powerlifter
