Sick dude! That is awesome about the British record dude! Damn do you know anyone else that lifts that is your age?

I asked one of the chairmen type people and they said not to worry about it, nobody managed to qualify last year and there is (i think) less than 5 people in the 14-15 y/o catagory who are even members!

the hardest thing is the commands, when they lift the bar out for you you have to wait with it locked out until they say "start" then you have to rest it on your chest until they say "press" then when you have pressed it to fully locked out position you have to wait till they say "rack" then you can rack it. if you do any one of these too early then you fail the lift.

If I didnt have to do that I would go for 226

Welcome to powerlifting bro. My first contest I racked my opener early so it didn't count. Luckily I got the second lift in pretty easy.

Congrats on the meet too.

thanks man ill let all you guys know how it goes and get some pics maybe a video if im allowed

thanks gladiator too

I forgot to mension in this fed your feet have to be flat and your head has to stay on the bench, the head thing is annoying because I have always let my head come off the bench so if Im not concentrating I will fail a lift because of that. And the feet thing means its harder to get a good arch and again not how I have normally lifted.

Dude I always lift my head! That sucks

Dude I always lift my head! That sucks

yeah, its pointless it gives u no advantage and its just another little thing that makes it easier to fail a lift. I only get a 4th attempt if I can pass all of my first 3 lifts too, Ill have to see how it goes, either way im not benching again until the comp, I might do some dumbell work today though after shoulders...

 

[the.gladiator1987]

i would really fo cus on not letting your head get off the bench, start with lighter weight while keeping your head down and move up to heavy weight and keep ur head down the whole time
