Tried a new exercise today, the JM press. Basically it's a close grip bench press, except the bar comes down on to your shoulders and your elbows stay tucked in. Last workout before North Islands. Gonna eat heaps and sleep heaps so should hopefully smash some weights there.

Got the 1000 pound total! Yeah buddy! Would've gone for setting some NZ powerlifting U74kg SubJunior records but unfortunately I've only been registered for 4 months and you need to be registered for at least 6 months to set records

Squats were awesome, I was a bit apprehensive at the start of the day about getting 180kg. 150 was a warmup, easy as. 165kgs wasn't as fast, a little pause halfway up but still no problem. I was pretty nervous about 180kgs but I needn't have worried. It was easier than the 165kgs, in fact! 190kgs was definitely there, but that's for next time.

Bench was quite disappointing. No PB on the bench today First attempt with 90kgs was slow too and got a red light for moving my foot around. The attempts with 95kgs stopped 2 inches off the chest. Bench is really lagging so am thinking of doing an intense bench program to bring it up to par.

Opened on 170kgs for deadlifts which was really a warmup. Jumped 20kgs to 190kgs, which was a 10kg PB. This was a battle. Goal coming into this comp was 200kg deadlift so I really hyped myself up for my last lift of the day. It came off the floor okay, with speed and got it past my knees. My hamstrings weren't strong enough to carry it through though so I had to drop it back on the floor.

I think (?) I came 2nd in the U74kg weight class after Ben Haughey who had an easy 500kg total, he's done 600kgs before. He just wanted to set the U74kg Open record in the deadlift but unfortunately he couldn't quite get 251kgs. Some nice lifting by the Red Machine today and good spotting by tinytraps. Neil Lauaki nearly squatted 380kgs but the bar ended up on the ground as it proved too heavy for the 5 spotters! Great squats and deadlifts by BarBrother too, 280kgs and 270kgs respectively I think?

Looking forward to the next comp, probably the WBOP champs in April. If I hit 200kg squat, 110kg bench and 220kg deadlift raw there, I'll look into getting some suits and shirts to start handling some really heavy weights!

Good lifting Tom well done

Good lifting Tom. Congrats on the PBs

Hey Tom it was good to see you lift yesterday....your gain on your total is phenomenal. A great way to end the years lifting and good things coming for next year

Awesome lifting Tom, you've come so far in such a short amount of time, really impressive mate

Serious, that 200/110/220 total must be damn close, and that would be completely epic for an unequipped sub-junior... at 70-odd kg too

Stick at it bro, you could do some really great things if you keep heading in this direction

Deadlift

Tried to do 165kgs x8 but it was way too slow, even on the first one. Shutupandsquat is strong! Mirin...

Just did 140kg x8 with no belt to console myself

140 is still good money. How long have you been training for, bro?

Since January 2011 so 11 months.

Shit man. I've had like a year on you, so don't be gutted or anything. That's some strong lifts for one year and your age. AND AN ASIAN! That's more of a compliment than racism.

Arms were pumped today, used stricter form so I had to use a lower weight than before. Lower back was still a bit sore from last weeks deadlifts so skipped them today.
