MT Powerlifting Totals Competition


July has seen a very quiet month regarding the powerlifting totals - long time Pro Member Cheggers has upped his lifts whilst losing bodyfat he now totals 200/145/220 at 99kg, well done mate.

Perennial cheeky Pro Member DaKensta has lifted a new personal best in the deadlift of 215kg, great lift mate! Especially with that hair!

July was the month that the BPC British Powerlifting and Benchpress Championships were held at the Bournemouth International Centre. Many MTers were in attendance either competing or supporting, I scored PBs across the board with 285/205/260 = 750 at 107kg, this gave me 5th place in the powerlifting and 3rd place in the benchpress (the trophy was massive). Tony1blue also got a 'full set' with 280/192.5/292.5 = 765kg at 106.5kg, 4th place was his and narrowly missing a medal. Many thanks to Rob1985 for being our bag carrier and flunky for the weekend!

Andy Bolton (superheavyweight, 140kg+ lifted with the 110s) was lifting in the same flight as Tony and I and it was a pleasure to be onstage when he attempted to break his own world record deadlift with a pull of 460kg. He missed it by the narrowest of margins; a terrific attempt and a loud end to a very loud and fun day!

Pro-member Fatpete once again won his class in the Manchester and District Powerlifting Competition with (NW record lifts) 310/180/275 = 765. Peter was going to attempt the British record in the squat (322.5kg at M2 125kg+) but never got the chance as a fail on his second lift (first attempt at 310) left him with no choice but to try 310kg again, which he did, and he got it!


Keep pounding fellow lifters!!
