Nick wrapped for the first time.

He needs to get used to them, Max went easy on him

you can tell Max knows what he's doing with those wraps... good for me as they take some of the pressure off my knees... can't wait to have a crack at 200kg

Some huge deadlifting last night

Zoran pulled 285kg and Martin pulled 290kg

[NickR33]

huge!

you can see how Martin's leverages make for an easier deadlift... not taking away from the fact that he's also freakishly strong

[markos]

The strange thing is, with long arms like his he is supposed to have a huge deadlift and shit bench, like Fuzzy

The prick still benches 150kg

[NickR33]

yep... as you say strong is strong

I have short arms... my nickname is T Rex... still can't bench to save my life

By the looks in his deadlift vid , Martin has a very strong upper back as well. He finishes the deadlift movement with some good power in the top range. That strong upper back is likely one good reason his bench is solid despite long arms.

very true. How old is Martin? looks like he's still a young bloke.

[markos]

Just turned 20. Got his license on Tuesday.

Just turned 20. Got his license on Tuesday.

He is probably going to keep getting stronger for quite some time then.
