Danish Nationals Powerlifting 2009
At 11 AM i took a check weigh in at the competition scale and it said 109.85 kg. After walking around a little bit and drinking some milk, i weighed in safely at 109.5 kg.

Squat
310 kg (683 lb) - Good lift 3-0
325 kg (716 lb) - Good lift 3-0
340 kg (749 lb) - No lift 1-2
I pushed the 749 lb up, but got redlighted on depth. On of the coaches wrapped me on the last lift and i got ironhard wraps on. I lacked the very last determination to squeeze it down the last centimeter, but judge for yourself on the videoclips.


Benchpress
240 kg (529 lb) - good lift 3-0
252.5 kg (556 lb) - good lift 3-0 (Danish record with 2.5 kg)
257.5 kg (567lb) - good lift 2-1 (Danish record with 7.5 kg)
Benchpress went awesome. I felt great with pecpower from hell and i got very good liftouts and my setup was good.



Deadlift
285 kg (628 lb) - good lift 3-0
300 kg (661lb) - good lift 3-0
305 kg (672 lb) - no lift 0-3 (lost grip)
I almost dropped the 661 on the floor, but got the down signal just in time. As it was a marginal lift i tryed with a slight personal best in last, but lost the grip. This is one focus area to spend time on for sure.


Total 882.5 kg (1944 lb) - 520 wilks points.

I am overly pleased with my performance at danish nationals. My conditioning was better than i could possibly hope for and i even got a few personal best in the bench. I am certainly back after the surgery in december.

I won all discipline medals and the on the total in the 242 lb class and i won the champion of champion title across all weight classes with the 520 wilks points.

A little more training in the bench and it really starts to look like something on the international level. One can start smelling the medals in the 580-600 lb range, so not too far to go.

Next big meet will be European Championsships in Finland in May..stay tuned.

Strong totall Eclipse. Why do you need surgery?

Nice work mate! Impressive lifts all round but especially on the bench!

Thanks Freako My deadlift is not very good looking at my competitors. I blame it on my short arms...as my training is - of cause - perfect lol

 

[Eclipse]

Strong totall Eclipse. Why do you need surgery?

Txs....could be even stronger of cause

I had surgery in december. I got appendicidice from one day to the other, and had to recover with no training for 3 weeks. It took me some time to get back...

Ok, I misinterpreted it I see. I thought you needed surgery but you already had it. Appendicidice bleh always nasty and dangerous as well if you dont notice it quick.

I hear you on the short arms, there's definitely no gorilla in my ancestry. Great for benching though.
