Tonight we had a full squad of lifters in preperation for the world platform.

Craig and Dai (single ply BPO lifters competing soon in the worlds) both broke PB's, craig beat the 100kg WR in the gym with an easy 370kg, and Dai just a few kilo behind coming up and breaking the WR in the 110's.
Both Craig and Dai are both well on the way to 400kg in single ply suits.

I just had an easy session and did my first two attempts.

Chris went up to an easy 380kg but was a little hesitant to make depth as I think the huge weight intimadated him. Now he's felt what it's like on his back, I think 400kg is on the horizon, if not in the WPO, then only a few weeks more practise in the suit and 400kg will be nailed.

No he never, he didn't see us as good enough standard to squat with him.

Justin/Chris Im convinced thats the best depth youve hit over the past few sessions ive seen on vid!!! your style looks far more refined now too, not so hesitant and are shooting straight back up, if that last one was 380kg then your def good for close to 400 now!!!!

Well done boys

what are you guys lookin at for openers? squat bench dead?

I'm opening with 330kg then 355kg and maybe 370kg if 355kg feels good.
Bench 165 in the fury, swap shirts and take 180kg and gauge from what it feels like for the third lift.
Deadlift, 270kg, 290kg, and then hopefully 300kg.

Just got this from a Finnish powerlifter:::




Will see in Helsinki. With those numbers Someroja is your only thread from those lifters(mayby Mursu if he`s in one piece). Someroja will definetly bench over 300k.

All the best winds upon your journey to Helsinki....

My body said about an half year ago "klik" and my lifts are 99% sure lifted.I cant even train anymore buts thats another story.I hope that i can come to see the meet,but its very doubtful.
