IDFPA Nationals 2008 Unequipped 280kg Dead

[boxerkarzan]

Very strong lifting. I want to compete myself but dont know where or how to start. I weigh 74kg and deadlift 217.5kg. Iwould appreciate your advice. cheers

Hi, sorry, I never realised you commented until now, otherwise I would have replied earlier!

If you weigh 74kg you'll be in the 75kg weight class. 217.5kg is a pretty good deadlift at that weight! What are your squat and bench like?

[boxerkarzan]

Thanks for the reply. I can squat 305kg now until parrallel (thighs parralel with ground) but i have a extremely weak bench at 137.5kg compared to my squat and deadlift. Im still 19 so im hoping for my upper body to develop soon. Cheers

at 19 there would be very few 74 kg lads squatting that weight especially recreational lifters,youre bullshitting arent you.

Just a thought, you way want to consider widening the stance, I know you prefer the quad drive you have but I THINK you could benefit from more hip and glute involvement. But who am I to talk, I aint deading 280

[burn2live]

Hmm, I take your point, but I find my quads really help me explode at the beginning, then I feel my back and glutes taking over to lock out as I come to the top. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[FUZZYisBIG]

Wow! Narrow stance to the max, very nice pull.

[burn2live]

Thanks!
