Title: GPC Worlds Prague
Post by: burn2live on September 13, 2010, 09:11:53 AM

Just back in the early hours of this morning from this comp. It was awesome.

I weighed in at 119.5kg (262.9lbs). Had eaten nothing but shit the few days before weigh in. Being away from home I sort of had to stick to what was familiar, that being pizzas, lasagne and KFC. lol. Hardly great comp prep but anyways!

I squatted in a boss suit borrowed from my friend. He had attempted to alter it previously and had cut the side seams in the leg and had them sewn up a bit. Unfortunately during my squat warm up the suit began to start splitting.

Benches. Was in a single ply super katana

Deadlift. Raw

In hindsight I probably played it too safe, but all week I had seen guys struggling with their set ups at this comp so I really wanted to make sure I didn't bomb. I am working on getting some videos and then I'll upload them to youtube and link them here :)

Incredible progress! You had a lot left in the tank on bench and squat.


Very nice work!

Cheers dudes! Like I say, I definitely opened too safe, but at least I know for next time I can do a bit more. I have shaken up my squat technique a lot again and so it's still to get well set in. Ideally next year I can begin to develop enough strength to manage briefs under the squat suit and maybe a double ply shirt  :)
