CDPA Hawkes Bay Champs 2018Hawkes Bay Championships, Waipukurau
Weighed in at 119.1kg, so~ 120kg class and M1 of course (old and fat)
Meet was 30+ people, so split into three groups and it all ran as a single session so was a long day. I was in the third group, so had plenty of time to rehydrate did a slow long warmup, felt reasonable. Squats went ok
Attempt 1: 175x1 - easy, apparently to depth
Attempt 2: 190x1 - also comfortable, felt a little wobbly on the platform really (carpet?)
Attempt 3: 200x1 - also good, potentially 10kg more, but followed the plan
Bench felt good during early warmup, but felt sore across shoulders from about 100kg upwards. Liniment, pain killers and stuff onwards.
Attempt 1: 175x1 - easy
Attempt 2: 187.5x1 - comfortable
Attempt 3: 195x1 - more effort, but done, could feel butt moving but didn't raise (unofficial CDPA record)
Finally, deadlift, warmup felt good. Decided to up the loads slightly.
Attempt 1: 190x1 - easy
Attempt 2: 212.5x1 - a bit more work but easy enough
Attempt 3: 227.5x0 - my only miss for the day, was nervous about the hook grip, so got it up easily and then stumbled at the top. Most weight I have hook gripped. Only time I have competed doing sumo deadlifts.
Total: 607.5
Not my best total, but only M1 total to date. A good starting point. Now the local association is debating moving from the International Powerlifting Federation to the World Powerlifting NZ. A number of the top NZ lifters have gone across already. Never mind the fun lawsuit that has happened against the IPF, that appears to have some potentially significant outcomes still to happen.
