Just returned from the British nationals, I had the misfortune of bombing on the bench. You win some you lose some I guess (lol).. I was good for 340-350kg's on the deadlift but I couldnt finish the show. So I'm going back down to 82.5kg's from 90 as I feel I lift better at that weight. I was 2 light at 90kg's... The Best part of the day was meeting Ano, Minna and other members of team Metal. Ano is massive in person, I have a picture of me with him and you can just imagine the vikings from years ago

Next show for me now is the Europa powerlifting show. I'm going down to 82.5kg's and I'm hoping to pull 340kg's.. I would like to take a pop at the all time record in Miami at the end of the year in the world's. I think its currently 360kg. I have a new King pro deadlifter suit to train with and I think it will help my lockout.

I would like to thank Ano and Minna for the support with my training gear and I have the next few months to practice. I'm back training tomorrow ready for the Europa so I will be posting regular for anybody that is interested in keeping up with my log.

It was also great to meet you. You had bad luck in bench, but this is sport. I believe, you lift big next time and we will give all support for you.

See you in Florida.

Finished my last deadlift session friday, Just went up to 180kg raw and fast for 3 sets of doubles. No assistance, just worked on my speed.


I'm competing next saturday at the Europa Super show. I'm on a high at the moment as my best bro Flex Lewis took 2nd place in the Tampa pro show in the 202 class lat night. He is competing again next week at the Europa so we will be helping each other out. This bit of good news is what I needed before I lift.

My grip feels strong, my deadlift feels fast and I have no injuries at present (touch wood).. I have been watching clips of Benni, Ano, Jon Paul and Kaz and I feel this is the calm before the storm. I got fire in my belly and an iron grip so the rest is up to me!!! I will speak to you all when I get back. Leaving for Texas in the morning.
