addlington push & pull monster lifts

[JP]

I "competed" yesterday at Addlington Push And Pull, more details about my lifts on my training log.

But the day was mostly about the beasts!

Check out Karl Grant with 200kg clean & jerk, and 330 deadlift

I believe this is the first time anyone has put 200 from floor to overhead in UK in at least 3 years.

Mark Clegg with 185/300:

I'll post adam travis' 185/255 when the vid is up too.

Awesome vids man.

I guess seeing lifts like that I can understand why your own PB didn't feel so satisfying (at the time I thought you should be cheerier about it).

[Andrewc]

Strong guys all round... you were all winners, JP

I didn't realise NattyBB was such a beast!

[ultra_whippet]

Just had a look at this, most impressive! Your lifts weren't exactly shabby either, JP

[JP]

hehe yeah, the good old big fish in small pond vs small fish in a fucking OCEAN!

That comp did give me some extra fire in my belly, so all is not lost.

I am not familiar with UK oly lifting near history, but it is a shame guys like Karl Grant, Mark and Trav are not in the teams anymore just two years out of the olympics being hosted in london.

And Ben/NattyBB is a monster for sure! I am going against him again in my next comp on 6th of march and wont have any chance of placing even near him. The guy is on fire - big things coming for him this season.

talking of trav, i didnt include his vid:

185kg jerk without training it in months due to shoulder injury

Definitley great videos to watch!

[xolix]

awesome competition and...wow !!

[JP]

yeah its no ordinary crew

Even though my lifts were weak, it was nice to be in the crowd.

[SpugFab]

awesome competition and...wow !!

Your 300kg deadlift wouldn't be out of place in there though.

Do you ever do overhead?

[Devil's Plaything]

In his log I read something about 7 x 85 kg military press... ^^
