Now I'm kicking myself

Earlier this month was the Sydney power lifting competition. I had seriously considered entering it, but decided in the end that I wasn't ready. But seeing the results, there was a big hole in the 82.5kg weight divsion, where I would of entered. Perhaps I would of been the first cyclist to win a power lifting division.

My opening safe lifts would of been;
80kg bench press
100kg swat
140kg deadlift

A total of 320kg, 5kg more than the winner.

You get 3 lifts in each category and I would of gone up by 10kg in each, so my end total would of been somewhere between 320kg and 380kg, lets assume 350kg.

This post doesn't deserve a signature.

Mate, some of us dead lift more than that just standing up to get another choccy donut

A bit like Tuco's D grade race where only 2 turned up and he won.

Ruddy weightlifting. I've done a little bit and it confirmed everything I'd thought about how technical it is. Love watching it on the telebox (except with turbomouth Eastlake is commentating).

Sounds good to me - I am guessing that if it had been me in that situation I would have come second ...

There were competitors, but their totals were well below my capabilities. There wern't any really really strong dudes in my category. ha ha.

Mate, with your workload, there wouldn't be many bods in your category to worry about.
