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.....

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
