100kg x 25 is good in any gym, thats great work Mitch Our guys are into their first week of 5's Martin got 200kg x 5, Max did 205kg x 5, Dan did 205kg x 5, Zoran did 205kg x 5,Emad 210kg x 5, Spiros 215kg x 5, Jack 240kg x 5, all for 3 sets Max has 220kg x 5 this Saturday

Thanks for that Troy

We had our GPC Nats Qualifier on Sunday. After getting 60 lifters to our States, we had a heap more who missed out and therefore not qualified for Nats, so we held the Qualifier and got another 23 lifters. We may have 100 lifters at States in 2014.

Eat your way through sticking points, thats what we do

The alternative is what Gregg did last night..........317.5kg x 3

Leg press weights, or any machine, is irrelevant, as they are designed and made differently I used a Hack Squat at Golds in Venice Beach with 3 plates aside The one I was using back home at the time allowed for a 25lb plate per side Thats a huge difference.....150lbs to 25lbs per side Can only compare on the same machine

Yeah I know it comes across a bit funny

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

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.

So Jack is at Chadstone shopping centre, picking Jesse up from work. He walks past one of those counters in the aisle, Jerico, and $500 later Jack has 3 bags of creams $500 So trust me, Jack has a cream for everything

If you knew the story in regards to Jacks cream you might change you're tune

Doors always open for Nats Tolga if your vag heals Jacks got a cream for that

Good to hear

Youve scared Tolga off, he's out You can always open on 220, see what happens

Whole team is done with 8's, so funny watching their expression, pure relief. Actually Max, Dan and Zoran do them Saturday, they have 180kg x 8 for 3 sets, no wraps Jack did 195 x 8 x 3, Emad 170 x 8 x 3 and Spiros 160 x 8 x 3, last night. Everyone starts wrapping from the first week of 5's next week. I know Max, Dan and Zoran have got 205 x 5 x 3 sets next week, then 220 x 5 x 3 sets the following week. They are on the 275kg squat plan. Whats your first week of 5's Nick? Youre on the 220kg plan arent you? Must be 165 x 5 next week?

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

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

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

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

Wow, it seemed even slower than those numbers suggest, but there was some pretty big guys in it lol Jack alone was 150kg

Up to 179 lifters now

Isnt it an NA auto 4 cylinder?

Up to 169 now. Had a young guy come in today, joined GPC, entered my Nats Qualifier on the 28th of April, payed for Nats He is 67.5kg, squats 175kg, benches 115kg and deadlifts 195kg, he should go okay, around 3rd or 4th I reckon in the 67's. Kristos Papanotis in the 67.5kg class is the standout, 18yo, will go well over 550kg, maybe even 570kg, from SA Jamie Christensen from QLD just went 522.5kg at States They're like ants
