Competitions coming up

[baldy]

Just signed up for my first Olympic lifting competition on the 24th September in Woking. -> http://www.britishweightlifting.org/com ... n-calendar
Events are (surprisingly) Snatch followed by Clean and Jerk.

Had to decide if I wanted to lose weight and get graveled by all the skinny guys or enter the 105kg class and get graveled by chubby boys.
Operation max bulking for the next month, so I can at least get back to 100kg for the comp.

Goals for the comp which aren't probably that crack pipe are 70kg snatch and 100kg c&j. Maybe a little crackpipe.

good man!

first comp = dont even think about bodyweight IMO.

[Mellos]

Bring it on!
70 snatch should be easy considering your back power. C&J might only be hard to jerk/not to press out.


I myself will propably enter a weightlifting competition in october.
Will be a team comp.

Also there is the German RAW Squat Championships in september with Euphoric, maybe a strongman competition in the same month, RAW Cup and German Championship in deadlifting in november and december, if I can find a new club that is a member of the IPF and then a special surprise in november that will only be revealed, if I do not fail miserably

Ah whatever, first IRP European Powerlifting Championship: In!
3 comps on 2 days, each one for a seperate lift (that´s how they do it for whatever reason).
Only 3 weeks out and I am down with the flu.

Let´s see, if I can get a pb on that day.

There are going to be some serious beasts competing. Luckily not all of them will be in my weight division and I'll be able to leave the table with my shoulders and elbows intact.

Thanks mate
The IRP seems to be pretty new.
Dunno exactly where it came from but the German part of it is called GRAWA and was the first federation to have RAW comps in Germany.

Major disadvantages:
Only 4 weight categories, no sub-junior (which doesn´t bother me anymore), not even close to strict rules (main organizer = commentator = only judge), no drug testing and only single lift events but this is the most prestigious event I have heard of so far, so I´m happy to be part of it.

Good luck for the comp .

London & South East Championships 26th November. Should be a good one.

London & South East Championships 26th November. Should be a good one.

I am also doing this one, bigger field = more KY will be needed.
Plan is for my total to be larger than the winners clean and jerk , would also be nice if I could weight in over 100kg.

Only 3 weeks out and I am down with the flu.

Let´s see, if I can get a pb on that day.

Benchpress paused 95 kg PB 1st place.
Squat 155 kg 1st place.
Deadlift 200 kg PB 3rd place.

Won 2 out of 3 due to lack of competitors.
The PBs count anyway. The squat was deep!
Next year the world´s will take place in Berlin. I hope you´ll all participate to create some more competition and some more vegan champions
