Powerlifting

[Frosty]

the fact that its not a bad effort for someone that doesnt spend 6days a week in a gym trainging for strength?

[TTT]

fair enough..

so where did it state how many days she spends lifting for strength?

[trentzor]

Yeah I know.. we're all ashamed of that fact.

The wife said to grow up and buy a family car lol. So I did.

[trentzor]

what was the point of that vid?

some chick lifts 235 lbs (105kg) then drops it.

a 26 year old 44.8kg girl deadlifted 135kg on the weekend.

and lowered it too.

didn't scream.

Its crossfit. Very angry individuals.

LOL TTT... you get me every time

my Mrs accidentally tried to deadlift 95kg last night... apparently she mis-loaded the bar... broke the ground with 3 attempts but couldn't lock it out... then got really angry thinking it was only 75kg... when I heard the story I had a good chuckle

silly woman

This is Max playing around in a bench shirt for the first time. For those that dont know, powerlifting has two divisions, raw, which is what 99.9% of regular gyn goers do, and equipped.

With equipped, the lifter wears "suits" or "shirts" to allow them to lift more weight. Its actually a different sport to raw, you actually miss lifts because the weight is too light, like in this video. Max can bench 160kg at the moment, but 140kg wasnt heavy enough to touch his chest.

I am slowly going to introduce equipped lifting on here. I dont expect you guys to adopt it, but I'll try and get you guys to understand it.

An equipped lifter is not compared to a raw lifter.

Australias best powerlifter is Wayne Howlett. He has the All time biggest totals in raw and equipped.

Raw its 935kg and equipped its 1010kg

Anyway, here is the vid

I thought the lowering phase wasn't encouraged on heavy lifts. Heard that from strong-man Elliot Hulse

Strong-man is not powerlifting.

Deadlifting a barbell is not a strong-man event..

A deadlift is lifting a stationary weight off the floor and lowering it back down.

not lifting it off the floor then releasing it.

Deadlift in powerlifting requires you to lower it in a controlled manner. this doesn't mean slowly, but it does mean controlled and not dropped.

dropping it from the top means the lift is not counted.

Dropping it from the top at any gym will mean you're kicked out.

anyway, congrats to the super strong girl who deadlifted 105kg then threw it and screamed which is a good effort because she doesn't spend 6 days training for strength which was stated on the video in invisible html code obviously.

Lowering the weight slowly and controlling its descent can be very different things
