BPC uk open championships 3rd september

[Boar]

I recieved my entry form today - very much looking forward to the training and the event itself - it wont matter if i dont use a bench shirt will it ??

im not expecting to do particularly well anyway and have been advised against using equipment untill i have a reasonable level of strength (which is a fair point)

[Neil Deighton]

Good stuff. nah doesnt matter about using a shirt. its good to have something to train for a lot more motivating than if you havent got a comp ahead of you. as its your first comp i wouldnt worry too much about what weights everyone else is lifting just have fun im sure youll learn a lot!!:D
im also going to lift in that comp

[cornelius parkin]

Seeing that i cant do the brits next month cause i out of shape and not strong enough :mad: i will be doing this show also it will serve as a warm up for the worlds.:mrgreen:

[Boar]

CP dont be afraid if i hug you for a little too long.

be nice to see you guys there.

[cornelius parkin]

CP dont be afraid if i hug you for a little too long.

be nice to see you guys there.
:o thanks for the warning....i generally dont go in for hugs of any lenght of time:p bit too manly for that kinda thing;)

[Boar]

LMAO, theres a few guys from muscletalk going down,they will be carrying me on a deckchair,to save my legs....

along with my filmcrew and PA.


will lay of the man-0-man hugs in favour of a firm handshake.

[cornelius parkin]

Nothing better than a stiff hand shake:p
hmm i will be looking for some one to wrap my knees cough neil deighton cough :mrgreen:
it should be a good time i dont really understand what i means about if you have won international show that you have to be a guest lifter(i dont know if this applies for me because i have won the worlds and euros but as a teen and junior may be it only applies to open lifters)well what ever happens i will go to it cause i love to compete:cool:

[little lee]

i think the british open is set up to give new lifters a chance to pick up a medal. if you have placed in the top 2 of your weight class in the british or an international comp you cant take a medal. its a great comp if, like me you are still inexperianced and dont have a chance against the monsters (at the british) in your weight class. :) not sure if it counts as a junior, try pm ing extream

ah i didnt realise that ,i thought it would be a big show but if none of the big boys are competing i wont bother cause its expensive to go to england:mad:
it was a nice thought while it lasted:p damn i wish i was in shape for the brits now ah well there is all ways next year(gotta rest my body now for a few months and heal some niggeling injurys like a sore shoulder)

[Boar]

bang goes my hug !!!

lee - your next in line !!!!:mrgreen:

[cuntos]

Hey big Jon, I'm hoping to do this comp and I'll give you a hug if you want. :icon_hea: :eek: :p

I'm thinking I might try and come down a weight category or two...

[little lee]

group hugs:twisted: count me in;)

[Boar]

application forms are out tom - you have also to be a member of the BPC to enter.

see ya there !!!

[Neil Deighton]

im gunna have to stay well clear of you fellas then!!

[little lee]

if you get that big bench in neil you will want a big hug too:mrgreen:

[Boar]

lee , you say your inexperienced and dont have a chance against the monsters, but your lifts seem pretty awsome to me !!!

surely you could take part in the euros and mabie worlds ??

having said that,im not 100% what weight you are.:confused:

does anyone know,are you allowed to reset your feet once you have lifted the bar from the monolift in the squat ????

[bulldog]

u can reset feet as long as u havent been given the command to squat

[sam graham]

you can do whatever you like before you are told to squat by the head ref.this actually happened to me a couple of weeks ago at the europeans. i went off balance when i lifted the bar off and the spotters had to catch me from falling . once i got myself steady, i got the signal from the ref and done the lift. you still have to be within the one minute from the bar is loaded.

[little lee]

jonny i am in the simi fatties(125s)and have only been competing for a little over a year.with del, ian r and j kiss in my class i would have to put 200kgs on my total:( after them you have ben w, lloyd ,carl r,mike a all scoring well into the 800s i am over the moon just be at the british lifting against these guys. :D

[cuntos]

Fuck that! I'm going down to the 110s... or up into the fatties (super fatties in BWLA)...:D

[Boar]

PMSL , it seems at every turn there is stiff competition !!!

what sort of numbers will be in each cat ??

[bulldog]

what u trying to say tom! c u on tues

[cuntos]

what u trying to say tom! c u on tues
Ooops! Sorry Dave! :p You can make me pay for that remark in the gym tomorrow. Gonna try and arrive a tiny bit earlier than usual.

[Mike Adams]

Lee, the way you're increasing your totals each comp .. you're definitely someone I consider a threat mate (mean that in the nicest sense). Looking forward to our bench battle .. that's if I get it right with the metal shirt (still a bit hit n miss with it) or don't bomb. It's early days for you and you've still got a lot more in the tank. See you at the final and good luck. If fact good luck to all competing.

[RichEllis]

Sorry to sound dull, but can anyone enter this comp or do you need to qualify? At the risk of being mocked, i just want to bench really, could i just post any lift on the others...or just say a 140 on each or something?

Also, in terms of equipment, how does BPC differ from IPF (BWLA)? Is it still single ply bench shirts?

Thanks a lot guys.

Rich.

[cornelius parkin]

I think any one can enter because this is the comp for the people that wernt may be up to the standards of the guys at the brits last weekend,not trying to take away from the show because i am sure it will be great and hopefully i will come over and compete in it also.
It probably wont have a bench only comp so you will have to squat and pull as well as bench:)
no unlike ipf you are allowed multi-ply shirts as long as the back is closed,but dont let that stop you lifting in you single ply gear because lots of people do.

[little lee]

i talked to lee marshal at the brits and he said if anyone wanted to do bench only you can.:) you can use double layer but the shirt must have a closed back

[RichEllis]

Cheers guys. I was mildly concerned for a minute that i might have to do some propper lifting...luckily just the bench though! lol.

I'd best get looking for a double ply shirt then...

[samwhitefox]

hi guys
where will the comp be?
thanks

[Justin Hurley]

Tyseley, Birmingham.

[samwhitefox]

Tyseley, Birmingham

thanks a lot
will the weigh in be on the day?
any info on the 110kgs qualify total for the british
thanks

[Justin Hurley]

You can weigh the same day or the day before.

Not sure about qualifying total.

[little lee]

765kgs for the open 110s

[trapmanjoe]

good luck to everybody who's competing, sounds like the meet will be more of a fun meet for those of you who are already competing at a high level. but its always good to have fun once in a while.

[samwhitefox]

thanks for the info guys

[RichEllis]

Sorry, lust to clarify, if we just want to bench, will any records that may be broken still count or would this have to be at a specialist bench meet unless lifts are posted for squat and dead??

Cheers.

[French Connection]

If you lift in a Bench Press only competition the only records you can break are the "Bench Press only Records".
If you enter the Powerlifting and do a token Squat and Dead lift you can claim the bench record in the powerlifting section and in the Bench Press only records.

[RichEllis]

oh right ok, thanks for clearing that up for me. do you know if there is a minimum lift in BPC...i mean, i think in IPF you have to squat 1.2 times your bodyweight or it wont count.

Cheers

[French Connection]

As far as I know Minimum is 60kg the bar and 20 each side.
Put will have to check but pretty sure.

[Boar]

After umming and ahhh'ing ive decided definatley to enter , i hurt my knee a little - its fine and then the dreadded cellulitis, i also have issues with being a bit of a fat twat, but realisticly im not gonna make 90kg - the strength sacrifice might be too great , so ive got a good 9 weeks training to get up to my PB standard and ill be happy just getting into my squat suit !!

thanks littlelee for the inspiration

little lee vids (http://www.eazypz.co.uk/wildboar/more.htm)

[cuntos]

Good man Jon. I am fatter (and more of a twat) than you and I'm definitely doing it too. It should be wicked fun, as long as we remember to postpone that hug until afterwards. I need to be as manly as possible until after I lift...

[Matt M]

All being well I should be doing it too, as my 1st comp.

Cuntos, you really did not look that fat to me, maybe it was just the T shirt? :)

[cornelius parkin]

I am looking forward for this one because its my next meet and i want to do at least 2 comps before the worlds to get some practice in,as far as what class i enter i am going into which every one Neil Deighton does:mrgreen: seeing that records dont count i may as well just come in the 100kg class seeing thats where the other juniors will be,first meet i wont have to make weight super:-D

[RichEllis]

why wont records count???!!!

[cornelius parkin]

well brit records will count but i was told that world records wont count.

[RichEllis]

Thats shocking! Surely a bit of a kick in the nuts for you... still, if you posted a brit record bigger than the WR who would argue? Surely the judging standards are universal...is that the reasoning?

[chris jenkins]

This should be a good comp, Im coming down to 82.5kgs.. Dont know if I can get down but Im going to have a go.. What is the deadlift record guys, for 82.5kgs?

[Neil Deighton]

This should be a good comp, Im coming down to 82.5kgs.. Dont know if I can get down but Im going to have a go.. What is the deadlift record guys, for 82.5kgs?


it says the brit record is 290kg on the bpc site but then again i dont think the records are updated much so it could have changed

[chris jenkins]

Just had a look, yeah.. Has anybody done over 290kgs in any reconet comps guys?

[cornelius parkin]

Damn chris how you gona do that???your very lean now and pretty tall:icon_puz:

[cuntos]

All being well I should be doing it too, as my 1st comp.

Cuntos, you really did not look that fat to me, maybe it was just the T shirt? :)
I've been trimming down a bit actually - lol! :p

So you're doing it as your first comp? Have you bought any kit yet? I thought you had a total around 800kg already (very high for someone who hasn't competed), or did I imagine that?

[Phil R]

[QUOTE=cuntos]I've been trimming down a bit actually - lol! :p

you fat fuck tom
lmao

[bulldog]

phil i think you are confusing pounds for kilos with tom

Yes it will be my 1st comp.

At the moment my best lifts are 220 x 2/ 220/ 300, so a 740 total, but I have squatted about 3 times in 2 and a half years due to a knee injury, they are all raw lifts.

Got some predator briefs and a Fury shirt, which I shall start using next week, hoping to get my squat to around the 300 mark by Sept, with the briefs and possibly a suit depending on how I get on with the briefs.

I'll probably go for a Boss suit if I get one.

[cuntos]

I love you guys, especially you Phil, you little cunt! LOL! :p

Wow! A five plate raw bench Nytol?! That's fucking awesome!

[Matt M]

This should be a good comp, Im coming down to 82.5kgs.. Dont know if I can get down but Im going to have a go..

That will be interesting!

Thanks Cuntos, I was 104kg that day, after I trained, it was going to be my last raw session so I pulled out all the stops, it was always a goal of mine to get a 5 plate bench.

[cuntos]

A five plate raw bench is fucking rare mate. I've only seen it done a few times in this country. It will be interesting to see what you can get with a shirt. You ought to get over 250k which will be rather impressive.

[Boar]

LOL @ this thread , all you lifting beasts are gonna be in the 100kg cat !! i'm looking for a top ten placing (on this thread !!)

great stuff boys and awsome benching nytol

[nixon]

im umming and ahhhing over this one as well.

i've got a few paranoia's as this would be my first comp but as long as i apply now and up my squat and dl by a little ill probably go along.Its in bloody Birmingham though and i don't know how if that will happen or not.

[cornelius parkin]

well i hope you go because there needs to be more girls in the sport and if want any help at the show you only have to ask:)

[nixon]

thanks cornelius.

im throwing myself in at the deep end,but a lot of the time that can be a good thing

[cornelius parkin]

thanks cornelius.

im throwing myself in at the deep end,but a lot of the time that can be a good thing
Oh i wouldnt worry about it your very strong i think every one will be shocked at your power especially your bench:o !!!

[Boar]

LMAO,im still waiting for your offer to help me on with my titan briefs :confused:

can someone tell me , im gonna do the BPC on sept 3rd , now the BPO dead and bench in flint/dec - would i have to join the BPO to do this comp (im a member of the BPC)

In the words of ginger dreadlocked model shagger mick hucknall - moneys too tight to mention , and i cant keep shelling out

[cornelius parkin]

yes you would have to join that fed so yes thats a whole new set of payments:( they are two independent feds.

Only if you help me with my extra tight boss briefs:p

[James Copping]

If I Join the BPC and enter this it will be my 1st comp. I do lift enough to qualify but I have never done the lifts at a meet(I total 600 raw @100kg and am now going equipped...) would I still be allowed to compete?

EDIT: This has been answered, I'll be there :)

[RichEllis]

Out of interest, who is competing in the 110kg class? Is anyone doing the bench and dead team champs as well? iv just had the very good news of signing a very competant deadlifter (means i can stick to the beach lift! lol).

[James Copping]

I'll be in the 110's if I overbulk.lol.

[cornelius parkin]

I will do the 2 man comp with neil deighton if every thing goes to plan:)

[RichEllis]

^^ look forward to that one then brew, should be a good contest. i'll see you there then meathead, may not be joining you on the squat tho (other than a token 60kg lol)...jst the bench and dead for me!

[RichEllis]

Anyone know how this comp will be structure. I.e. will it be a rising bar for the whole field, a rising bar for each weight class or rotational lifts within weight classes?

Also, does anyone have details of what time we can weigh in the day before and what time lifting starts?

Cheers guys.

[little lee]

last year there was 2 flights with smallest weight first, the weigh in finished at 12 the day before i think

[RichEllis]

Cheers buddy, i'd better contact lee re; the weigh in times though...could go horribly wrong! lol.

[Boar]

ahhh,good evening.

do we recieve any conformation or mabie them nice numbers like in the flora london marathon ?? so the commentators for the BBC can pick us out ??

i dont know the weigh in time - im gonna get there probably befor 9am (im analy punctual)


yay

[Boar]

oh there is no 'weigh' i could attend a weigh in the day befor:cool:

[cornelius parkin]

The stress of your kids is making you bald boar:p
Cant wait for this comp still got a lot of work to do but will be great to get back into it:mrgreen:
So juniors whos going and what weight,so i can choose who to compete against;)

[Lloyd]

I will probably go along............and watch!

Cheer everyone on and hopefully give someone a big slap round the chops!!

The Bulldog team have a couple of new lifters competing so should be good. I think 2 of them are in the 100kg class and the third in the 125's.

[Neil Deighton]

I'm competing in 100kg junior class cant wait:)

[cornelius parkin]

I'm competing in 100kg junior class cant wait:)
man i recon your a little too light for the 100kgs if you start dieting now you should hit 67.5kg just in time;)

[little lee]

shit the 100kg class may very well go on all day. there is 2 guys from the gallery in it too. one of my training partners may be looking at a very good placing with a 800plus total in his first contest. (as long as he can stay injury free and turns up this time:mrgreen: )

hows the bench going neil are you looking for the records? i think the junior is 200kgs

[cornelius parkin]

:mrgreen:i will battle you for the bench record neil:p :p let hope i some how put 50kg on my bench in the next four weeks:-D

[little lee]

230 for 3 fecking hell mate!
my next show is the teams, so its all raw training for me:( bench and squat is going well but my deadlift is poo with out a belt. del says it will help so i am hopefull.

[Neil Deighton]

:mrgreen:i will battle you for the bench record neil:p :p let hope i some how put 50kg on my bench in the next four weeks:-D


if jonny follows through with his threats i will give you a run for your money on the deadlift!!

[little lee]

think my body needs a rest. all the shirt benching was killing the tendonitise in my elbows. just looking at my shirt makes me cry and wet my self:confused:

[cornelius parkin]

if jonny follows through with his threats i will give you a run for your money on the deadlift!!
or i could just lift with one hand then you may stand a chance:)

i will be watching that balding boar thats for sure:confused: especially if he has a pair of scissors or a metal pipe in his hand:p

[Boar]

PMSL,i will be wearing a disguise (a small toupe and a corset)

http://www.abfab.co.uk/Thumbnails/S25012.jpg

so, the way this comp goes - does the whole 67kg comp go first or is it squats for everyone, starting at the lightest group and the guy with the lightest squat ??

i'm still a bit worried about my hitching, i lift the weight but for some reason the last inch is a bugger , still,time will tell.

yay,collecting my titan boss today,so that another piece of equipment i wont be able to fit in then !!!:mrgreen:

[cuntos]

The comp will probably be all the little people all the way through, then the fatties all the way throuh if it's like any other comps I've been to, so us fatties won't be starting at all until after lunch. Don't panic Mr Mainwairing!

What size Boss have you got?

[cornelius parkin]

whats the break off point for the fattys:icon_puz: i hope i am lifting later in the day not right in the morning:mad:
you lifting in this show cuntos?

boar the boss suit is a bitch to get used to so i would put in a lot of practice did you get the briefs with it,i used them in one show and could only hit depth once so now i go with out briefs.
work your low back more if your hitching the weight.

[Boar]

i think the 100kg cat will be classed with the fatties CP , couldnt afford briefs, gonna put it on later (he says optimisticaly)

tom,i got a size 48 - thats for the 100kg lifter according to the boss charts,which were different than the centurian size charts.

[cornelius parkin]

48:o :o :o no bloody wonder my 42 is feeling tight at 97kg:p

[Boar]

Cornelius, you must have the skeleton of a mouse !!!

but of course the strength of 1000 mouses,and some ants ,and a giraffe:D

http://www.ssb4.net/users/27625/boss_suit_sizing_chart.jpg

[cuntos]

CP: Yes I am doing this comp. Even though I knackered me ribs almost three weeks ago (and they still fucking hurt), I've got to do it cos I've already paid my entry fee!

Boar, I have a size 52 boss which sounds about right for a chubby novice such as myself and should be a similar fit to yours. I haven't got any briefs either, but I will be wearing undies of some description.

[Boar]

but I will be wearing undies of some description.

not for long.:twisted:

How did you find your lifts compare with it tom ? im hoping the knee wraps and suit will give me that little extra to beat cornelius:confused:

[cuntos]

Dunno yet Jon. First time I wore it I injured my ribs and I haven't done much since. :(

[cornelius parkin]

:o why is every one talking about beating me:p hell i will be right near the bottom of the overall 100kg class so not sure what the old fuss is about!
Knee wraps suck because i actually cant wrap my own knees(just a little too complicated for me:rolleyes: )so i am hoping for some kind soul to help me out....how good the plan of having neils training partner to wrap my knees is dubious at best:icon_puz:

[cuntos]

CP: You're in danger of sounding like one of those people who say, "I bet I've done really badly in my exams" when they think they've got straight As...

[cornelius parkin]

CP: You're in danger of sounding like one of those people who say, "I bet I've done really badly in my exams" when they think they've got straight As...
:p never got an A in my life i was a solid C student:mrgreen:
I am just happy if i can keep from embarrassing my self against the other 100kgers its one hell of a step up as far as results go 90kg vs 100kg.
I am just using this show to see where i am at currently as far as my lifts go but i dont expect any thing great...i only got back into benching last week after a shoulder injury!

[cuntos]

Unless someone reckons they're going to do really well (or really should do) and then doesn't they should never be embarrassed about a lifting performance. If you totalled 500k and it was a pb then it would be awesome. In your case, hopefully you will go comfortably over 800k which will not be embarrassing. I won't get anywhere near 800k, but I will still have fun and will probably get a few pbs along the way.
