I just wanted to break the andy bolton junior weltrecord at the -140kg class at the european cup in may. unfotunately had been ill (gastro-enteritis) 6 weeks before. I lost about 12kg in 6 days, so I skip the competition, cause there were no chance to lift it.
after the illness I focused my training for strongman and just did lighter sets with more reps. 3 weeks ago I started lifting heavy again and 2 weeks ago I did 5x726lbs RAW and also 3x770lbs RAW.
and last week I did 400kg (880lbs). I hitched the weight at the lockout and I used straps, but for strongman is ok.
my aim for this year is to lift 900lbs and 880lbs in a powerlifting legal style.
so remember befor you watch the video: I am strongman and not a powerlifter and the lift is legal in strongman.
video of 400kg (880lbs):
video of 380kg (836lbs) at the ipf competion in march:
Jesus. lol. we got the next andy bolton right here. Great lift. You made your openers in that video,which were 2x times what most people max at, look very easy. amazing.
Stay HEALTHY and injury free and you will do very well in any strength sport you choose. I’m looking forward to seeing you in big meets, like the arnold or wsm ext.
