Nationals Done for Another Year

Well the dust has finally settled on a quite amazing meet. The stats alone speak to the quality of this meet, 83 women lifters, 4 days of competition, 240+ lifters in total. With that volume of Australia's best the results didn't disappoint.

Personally I still have chills watching Jackson Murrie in the 100's squat down and stand up with with 350+kg's...just an amazing demonstration of old school strength. The kicker is that this kid is only 20 and if he stays fit and healthy my go 900kg,s at 100 bodyweight in the future. Unbelievable squat and I just keep watching it and laugh my ass off at how good he his. This is no fat superheavyweight, this kid looks strong and damn he is strong!



Also watched the human ant Chris Stamtiou become the first Australian to total 10x bodyweight raw and doing it in  67.5 kg class. Check out this 257kg squat!



Then he follows it up with a 266kg deadlift. This is lifting of the highest calibre and damn I am going to start growing a beard to see if this helps my lifting!!



I was pretty honoured to watch some of these lifts let alone compete at the same meet.

Stay Strong
