Powerlifting

[NickR33]

I opened that vid expecting to see a slingshot at least... nope... fck!

Gregg is competing in the 110kg class at Nats, he is a chance to total 900kg in June

Gregg is still a junior, 20 years old

[markos]

My personal opinion is that Gregg is the best powerlifter in Australia.

For my opinion to become fact, he is going to have to kill it at Nats and hit his PB's because Ricky is shooting for 880kg in the 110's, and Nathan is somewhere around there as well

[NickR33]

damn these strong kids... why aren't they all out getting shitfaced and chasing skirt... I blame you Markos! lol

[markos]

Gregg started lifting at 13 years old, he benched 140kg at 14 in a bench shirt. He is clearly a freak with incredible genetics for this sport, i.e. A high number of fast twitch fibres

[NickR33]

Dan has picked a good weight division

my old man told me today I should drop 10kg and lift in the 82's... don't blame him, he's old... might be going a bit senile lol

maybe if I chop one of my legs off... do you need two legs to squat?

[markos]

Dan might be moving up to the 125's, he'll do better there than the 110's

3rd week of PPP

3 - 4 Gym sessions a week and 3 - 4 bike rides per week.

Going great so far.

Good to hear

[markos]

[NickR33]

got bench!?

[markos]

I think his program next week calls for 215kg or 220kg for a single. Going into this training cycle his PB was 200kg x 2.

I think squats are 310kg x 5 with wraps this week.

Interesting segment about powerlifting, CAPO, PEDs and criminal links on Four Corners / ABC right now.

[-FIGJAM-]

also impressive lift. has me by a 100+kg for the same amount of reps

Greggs wearing a SlingShot in that vid, it works a little like a bench shirt.

He did 220kg x 4 in it, but can only bench 205kg without one.

We use SlingShots for overload work

[NickR33]

but can only bench 205kg without one.

[markos]

Yeah I know it comes across a bit funny

[Mitcho_7]
