 Test test test test and we're in The audio is correct now Test test Hey all as you start to jump back on here. Let's make sure that the audio is better now. I do have Think we are able to fix it Please let me know if you can hear me better than you could earlier and if it's coming through the podcast Audio at this point Much better. Thank you perfect. Sorry so much How am I am I am I sounding pretty good Burgos? I can hear you well in my earphones Nikki much better. Sorry all sorry. We've decided to do this in the middle of this flight Which I know sucks, but we want you to see these ladies 30 attempts. It's really important. This is 92 kilos for Lindsay Her second attempt Man, she is like super built to squat short legs long torso Powerhouse. Yeah, for sure awesome squatter Okay, much better. So I'll share with share the new link as you could I know Teresa had a friend out there watching she had her second attempt It was a little slow, but she powered away through it really really well Allison's our next lifter at 95 kilos She is one for one so far today. This will be trying to stay perfect for the day 209 okay Nice smooth walk back good setup Really nice squat looks very good. It's gonna be three white lights. I'm sure great lift Gonna go up a kilo to 96 96 kilos here for Kelly coming up 211 212 pounds somewhere that ballpark Kelly is another strength parlor lifter had a lot of lifters on the platform here for this first squat Bar's loaded for Kelly 212 pounds for her And her first attempt was good. Oh boy. Just our first miss of the day Good catch by the spotters spotters good job lifter She can probably come back and get that she shot back to her heels pretty hard if she can stay on midfoot and drive through She'll be fine It's actually you'll see a lot of times people shoot forward to their toes the way to get forward Her's did the opposite right she got back on her heels the weight shifted back So she'll really leaned over. It's an unpleasant time You're really leaning over no matter what on squats So I realized now that people can hear us they didn't hear any of the earlier jokes So now much great stuff earlier. We get to do it even better. That's right. It's like a second take One clarification that I think might have gotten missed is that we are doing four lifts today This is the combination of strength lifting and power lifting which means after the squat We're gonna go into the press and then we'll bench and then we'll dev let All right, here comes. Thank you all for sticking with us through the technical difficulties Hopefully, this is a lot more enjoyable for you for the rest of the day. Yay good sound Good video quality here Amy took us all the way up to 235 pounds for a second attempt little shaky on her walkout Set herself. Well Really good Especially for as difficult as the walk back looked yeah Nice job Fun place to hit a PR. There is a room full of people cheering for you. This is what makes competing fun So pretty big jump here in weight We're going up to 250 pounds for the next one. So I mean, it's pretty big pretty big real For Marissa France 250 pounds from Marissa France She actually made a massive jump her first lift was 90 kilos and she jumped to 113 She's like, all right, I'm not I'm done messing around. Yeah, she probably had those took that first attempt nerves So we're gonna get to see her actually Really push on some weight here There we go. There we go. Nice spot back angle didn't change at all throughout the whole lift nice and deep These went out hard. That was great really solid lift for her dramatically changes the math now for best lifter shoots all sudden jumps into The competition for this Notably lightweight lifter pretty good squat right there Bar is a and a Liko power bar. So those you asking what bars it's Yeah, it's like a thousand dollar power bar Feels nice as well where it's really nice. It's gonna come in handy as the deadlift Because I think it's about a half millimeter smaller than the typical power bars. It's a 28 and a half I think all right of a 29 Starting the third attempt with us Maggie for 45 here. She crushed her second attempt This will be her third at 45 I expect her to get this No problem. She left some on the platform Nice Very nice lift Is that beautiful Andrew Jackson the low right-hand corner of the screen said to find jawline That's a giga Chad jawline going on there today It's more defined than a lot of our biceps are glorious And just on the edge to the left side of the screen you see Bjorn with his beautiful giant beard in the Pacific Northwest Up at next level barbell with Jordan Stanton Here we go Laurel third attempt is at 154 pounds 70 kilos Definitely over her body weight Nice squat. Good job. I was very clean again. Yeah held the back angle You can see a little tiny sticking point about a third of the way up and she powered right through it. No problem at all I don't know who this guy is but he also has nice beard nice jawline He looks like one of these guys that could grow. He's got a five o'clock shadow by like 930 in the morning The spotter here like sneezes and get a five o'clock shadow. I hit testosterone when he was seven Like he was just like oh, I hit puberty at seven everybody by the way if that guy's parents are watching I'm sorry and also congratulations For making a high testosterone baby. All right, Teresa taking her third attempt at 74 kilos a hundred and sixty three pounds To go three for three on squats again the beautiful golden white shoes Did a good job breaking her a little she got a little bit over but she powered through it nice job That's gonna be three for three on squats for her Squats with three for three Nice job Teresa great job Little known fact about Andrew and those jeans is they're not actually jeans with jeggings He has to purchase shoes Andrews In the chat they were saying the thing about Andrew is that it's 30% spandex built in Lucius. In fact, they're actually 90% Is there I mean other jeans are really unacceptable jeans without spandex. What is that even yeah like the raw I have a pair of like raw denim jeans you ever put on a pair of those I bet Hamburg is like those are the only kind of jeans don't wear they should have plywood in that right like 1905 Got 165 on the bar here Again for three for three going for a three for three day on squat Nice, so let's walk through what happened there. So she as she got down into the bottom She did a great job of powering through this The knees came in right and she got to that sticking point nice job Sticky point came in and she got knee valgus and these came in kind of stopped her where she was she powered through Kept driving up driving up And then you could see the knees come out halfway up and then it I like I could tell she knew what she was doing and she was annoyed that she was doing it Yeah, and she fixed it. She was like suck it. Yeah, that was great great PR. Oh, it's great Yeah bars loaded here for Chelsea at 77 kilos that's 170 pounds for her So also be for a three for three day for a perfect squat day for Chelsea if she can finish this one It's like a pause squat little pause squat there So I'm just gonna hang out down here in the bottom for a second about things for a minute Just ponder what I'm gonna do next white lights. Nice job And we get the celebration So this is Denise at 92 That was Chelsea. Oh Again, this is Denise we were saying probably before you could hear us this is actually Cody's first client at the strength parlor She's been with him for years 203 pounds for Denise Miller's client here taking her time on the walk back There Waiting for the judges signals are watching to get it back in can she control the bar she does White light white light. We're good That's a good look at a baby. Nice job. I think that's a Liko bar is actually a little bit Shorter well, it's got the little call so that's got the little thin collars It looks like an Olympic weightlifting bar like the way those collar, you know the piece of the collar between The sleeve where the weight goes on and the bar itself like the literal collar is very very thin It's like it may be a half a centimeter and so it makes the bar it is the bars a little shorter Even though the actual bar itself is the same length as other bars and the sleeves are the same length It's actually the collar portion that's narrower So it makes the overall length of the bar a little bit shorter. That makes sense It's engineering for the win got two hundred twelve pounds here for Randy Becker Two twelve drive drive drive drive drive drive. Nice job. Nice work 96 kilos here she missed it on her second attempt This is also two hundred twelve pounds. She's trying to come back to hit her third after a miss at this weight on her second She's got a grind through in the bottom drive drive drive drive. Yeah, see She's the one that got back on the heels and she fixed it and it actually wasn't that hard of a squat once she kept Was able to perform Way to come back Nice come back squat. Good job Exciting to see you want to see people end on a high note on the squat you can really Really test your mindset the squad if you do not have a good squad day that can really Screw you up for the rest of me or you can you have to do your best to put any missed attempts behind you Yeah, go on or honestly even a made attempt, right? So I talked to my clients a lot you also can't be too crazy about celebrating the PR like when it's over It's over. We got to move to the next one This is 220 pounds here for Lindsay again. She's just had picture perfect form all day There's a perfect example of holding her back Exactly in the same her back angle didn't change a bit. She hits the sticking point She doesn't change anything and she just was patient and got through the middle Really good squat for her This is gonna be a 225 pound squat for Allison coming up Also, she's been two for two so far so this would be three for three on the squat for the day Bar is loaded for her there we go 225 For a little bit. I was able to control Not let the weight get away from her. Good So Marissa opened at 90 kilos jump to 113 for a second So massive massive jump from first to second is now Yeah, I've gone to 118. I Expect her to hit this. I don't think it'll be a problem for that though her last one wasn't too tough But she's gonna have to grind a little probably on this This is the time to grind that's right 247 pounds for her She's also a master's lifter. She's over 40. I have no idea what she is She didn't look over 40. So my guess is it's pretty close Change 62. This is Amy at 112. I was getting ahead of myself Amy at 112 here at five five kilo jump for Amy This is the 247 second to last lifter in the flight really controlled squat Textbook looking squat the walkout look like the hardest part. Yep again. Nice job Nice job But this is the 118 For Marissa the last lifter in the flight All right, that's gonna be a PR for Marissa Again, this is Marissa is a is a master's lifter. She's over 40 Doesn't look it Super strong also in the heavyweight, which is surprising. Yeah, and she doesn't look at all Be interesting when she does her way out. She's got to be right on the edge. Yeah in the next weight class under This is 260 for her No problem Nice control white lights nice job That's the end of the first flight. We had a very successful first flight And they're gonna start the second flight right away I'm actually gonna hand Nikki the mic primarily. I'm gonna go coach Harry a little bit and let you jump on Angelica is starting us off here at 231 pounds as an opener and that is a strong opener opening lift here 231 pounds. How's that for a deep? Moli I Couldn't do that when I was to All right, here comes Madison Madison is opening up 107 kilos that's 236 pounds She's in a high bar squat position should be a little more upright The competitive advantage of the low bar is it places the weight closer to your hips Shortening the distance between that really big point of rotation and powerhouse of the hips and Good leverage but squat is a squad We welcome all kinds of squats except for front squats or searcher squats those are not allowed here Here comes Colleen this is her opener at 115 kilos 253 pounds another lifter representing the strength parlor See that bar has given everybody some trouble. I do think it's a little bit shorter between the collars good focus buried it Why lights from the judges? Coming up next is James James is with team branch and his opener is 125 kilos which is 275 freedom units James is ready to get some work done High bar low bar hybrid there, but you could see he was very upright powerful in his legs very well balanced I'm gonna jump in and out just a little bit As one of my lifters are they're gonna start warming up for the third flight Harry Fapputis But I'll hang here for a few minutes. All right Here comes one of our barbell logic clients who is coached by the amazing Alexis Wolfer.

It's great. I Am very honored that Katie is wearing my singlet today. I Think if she decides to give it back to me, it's gonna be Very poems with strength. That's right You got to make a decision whether you want to stay with that one or the velveteen silver Which is my personal Nikki Sims singlet favorite my velveteen Silver singlet onesie is my favorite outfit Unfortunately, it does go below the knees. Oh, I could not wear it in opposition got it And I have to keep an eye on that one because I think Matt's gonna steal it. I tried to pay her money I told her that I would let me wear it at the blog party. I would just buy her a new one Here's Dylan Dylan's opening at 132 kilos, which is 291 pounds He's a teenager. So he's 19. He's in the junior class Nice squad make it work out of that Nice job for him Great hair Jealous. Oh, I'm so excited for our next lifter. This is Cherise Boba who was coached by the amazing Rebecca free Becca really coaches some strong strong lifters makes people strong and Cherise is such an example of that she's gonna open us up at 297 pounds, which is 135 kilos super fun to watch her left Great lifter across the board strong dead lifter Super leggy. Yep. It's nearly 300 pounds here for Cherise Smoked as we knew it would be Lots of way to go today She's looking ready to compete. She's looking ready Ben this is Ben's first meet coached by Patrick Yeoman who is also competing today Yeah, it's quite an ability to handle a lifter and compete yourself because you're nervous for both of you Yeah, yeah, Pat's gonna start warming up here and he's probably gonna start warming up as soon as Ben completes his first attempt So that makes it even more difficult because he's gonna be warming up has been so many things to watch and Patrick is standing to my right Ben is a fellow Springfieldian from my hometown Nice job looks fine deplet good good position Held his held it. He's fine first squad ever in competition. Very well done. Nice job Say it's the course. Yeah, he's fine. Yep. Looks great I I'm gonna go coach Harry. I'll see you guys here in just a little bit. We're good back to just a Nikki solo for a little bit Jacob Jacob's here at 140 kilos nice and deep Love to start with a weight for your opener that you're very confident about something you've been training before Really don't want to be thrown off by your opener. So that's why We'll see everybody hit some pretty smooth starts here for the first Attempts and then we like to see you get a little more spicy in the second and some people will game it differently They might want to only plan for two attempts with open a little bit heavier Again something you know, they they can hit and then maybe they'll go for a PR and for the number They really want to hit on their second attempt so that if they need to repeat it for the third They have the opportunity to do so All right come up next Anthony 162 kilos He's a master competitor Judges give it away And everybody is really easy to judge today so far In depth everyone's controlling the bar very well Here comes another strength parlor lifter his name is Alexander first competition for him His opener is at a hundred and sixty five kilos that's three hundred and sixty his belt is amazing Well done Alex Super intense so important to have your upper back really tight for these squats You can see people have varying degrees Shoulder extension, which is how much their elbows are raised to create a good shelf for the bar Some people will have their thumbs wrapped some people will keep the thumb outside Both are allowed in this competition as long as your palm is touching the bar All right, this is Jeff he is a client of Andrew Jackson. This is Jeff's first Meet Tina's wife who here from Washington, DC She's here in attendance as well. I hope he makes Andrew proud Andrew's giving it the serious lean down super smooth That's a great looking opener lots of room in the tank gets the nerves out That's all awesome Andrew is relieved Okay, here's Josh Joshua Truex, he's here at 170 kilos All right, Jalak has taken us back To the top here for the second attempts Her first attempt was 105. She's jumped all the way up to 113, which is 249 pounds And she's in the lightweight division, which is 140 pounds and under Oh, here we go. She's fiery what you got to do to get yourself in the zone Really good at timing that bounce hitting the depth and not letting the bounce draw her out of position She uses its driver up above depth and then she can really power it through the top very nice All right, here comes Madison Madison's here at 115. Her first attempt was 107. Good depth, good control. Super solid All right, I can see Colleen now Here she comes to a bar. Her bar is loaded to 122 kilos 268 pounds She gets a nice and low. There's a little bit to how low you can put it. It can't be Any more than three centimeters below your posterior deltoid. People are pretty darn low Can see her knees stayed in a consistent location. Maybe the slidiest slidiest bit of wanting to cave, but she stood in control the whole time It's it's definitely an art with singles to maintain your position even when it gets slow So It takes practice not to get panicked And just to hold your presence trust in your practice and keep pushing the bar up towards the ceiling. That was a good demonstration All right, here comes Sonia again. She's now at 286 pounds She must I think she's saving it up for a PR for her third attempt She opened at 128 and this is month 30 It's about the same speed as the opener which Sometimes I could wig you out, but sometimes it's good to know that if it felt a little slow in your opener And if the same speed for your second attempt, that's still great All right, Katie's next she's taken us over the 300 mark at 304, which is 138 kilos Here she comes a little bit. She was patient with it drove it to the top Judges give it whites Excellent for her 304 second attempt.

He's going to come in and do 145 kilos junior lifter 319 He looks like he's ready to get some work done Curly hair. Why would you not wear your hair like that?

This is going to be 148 You've got whites That's a strong second one. We're going to go for a third Here comes Charisse. Charisse is at 330 150 kilos per opener was 135 kilos. This is a 15 kilo jump How you doing out there Becca? Watching your lifter They're yelling for her. You're giving her some love Beast ridden across your singlet.

She's got she's got that walk about her focused Okay, here comes Ben second attempt same weight 330 pounds Ben opened up 138 Here we are at 150. Fast on the descent there.

He's in trouble He was ready for the challenge He got white he got white. All right. He's happy about that Like maybe he wasn't sure for a minute there Spotters and loaders are crushing it The loaders are the real heroes of these meats. They move so much weight throughout the whole day For every single lifter they're probably changing the bar height Weight's coming on weight's coming off. They've got a big job big round of applause for these guys Okay, here comes joshua We're again at 175 kilos up five kilos from his first attempt. Looks like it was crushed What do the judges say? The judges approve Really good lifters in terms of following all the rules All right, we got alexander coming up. He's taken the weight up by three kilos Working our way towards 300. We're at 300. I'm sorry. It's 400. We're at 392 pounds right now 178 kilos alexander is a middle weight which is 200 pounds and under All right, jeffrey who's going to take us up above 400. He's taken us to 407 pounds just 185 kilos I think this is going to be a pr for him His quad pr was 375, which I think he might have crushed his opener. So this will definitely be a nice pr for him. Have fun pr on your second attempt He's got to get his bearings gorgeous Gorgeous control. Andrew is relieved Big pr big pr Here we are. We're going back to the top of the flight Angelica's waiting.

This is a great meet so far Shake it off nice There's gonna be a lot of strategizing here for the third attempt some people want to come into a meet and know For sure they want to get nine out of nine They want to get every single attempt until the plate a little more conservatively Others will decide to really go for something special and they'll be ready to miss it, but they're going to give it their heart Here comes james.
