Odell came down from Rockhampton and set the biggest ever total in Australian Powerlifting History.

Previous to this the record was 935kg.

The biggest equipped total ever in Australia is 1010kg

Odell beat that raw, here are the vids, he squatted 390kg, benched 230kg and deadlifted 400kg.

Odell is a former NRL winger.

hey markos,

whats the rules with the squat? how low do you actually have to go cause from the video it looks like he barely goes beyond the parallel?

still a massive lift, but curious.

I find from certain angles I seem to judge the depth based on the angle of the top of the thigh - which is parallel in Dan Green's pic, however this is only because of the sizeable quads haha

Correct, but check how low the crease in the hip is

Guys with huge quads, and he has huge quads, can sometimes look like they squat high

Check out his left leg, he is around 4" under parallel

Its also why judges sit side on, the front judge will only rule on depth if its stupid high

If he got three white lights, that's all that matters. The judges have the best view and what they say goes.

Dude in my gym's deadlift comp was bouncing the shit off the floor and didn't lock out half his reps...I feel the sporting thing to do is leave it in the hands of the judges.

Do competitors ever challenge judges, Markos? On their own lifts and on others?

200kg x 10 is very good. Poor Zoran yesterday had to do 212.5kg x 8 x 3 sets. He was f**ked.

A lifter cant challenge a judge birds.

A coach can approach the head judge if something out of the ordinary happened. At Worlds last year I had to do so on 3 occasions.

Spotters took Dan's squat before they were instructed too, he got a retake

Jack hit the straps at the bottom of his squat, threw him off balance, they said he squats too low, true story. He is 6'6"

The centre judge was unaware that Nina grinds her benches, had them take the bar too soon. I appealed to no avail.

Check out this vid from Nats, same judge same lifter from Worlds, arm is ready to tell spotters to take the bar, luckily he didnt this time. I dont like the way he does that, anyway.....

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
