What a weekend for my team! Everyone performed amazingly! Everyone hitting podium positions in their class, and smashing PBs throughout the day! Absolutely fantastic lifting, done me massively proud! 😁😁😁😁
First up we had big Al, qualified in his first year of competing for the British championships in push/pull! Benched a very very impressive 152.5kg raw, for a 10kg PB and 10kg up in 11 weeks from his last competition! Going 2/3 failing his opening lift due to jumping a command!
Then onto his deadlift later in the day, going 3/3 hitting a 230kg deadlift breaking that 500lb milestone! Giving himself a 5kg increase in 11 weeks from his last comp! Super proud of this guy, winning his class and being crowned under 125kg masters 2 GPC british champion! Next year he's in for full power so much more to come from the big man!
Secondly we had Carol "the deadlift queen" getting an impressive 8/9 lifts getting 24 white lights in the process and getting crowned GPC British masters 1 champion, giving Carol a first place in 2 different weight classes and 2 different federation's in her 2 years of competing!
Firstly her squat was outstanding smashing her previous lift from 11 weeks ago by an impressive 10kg, and left more in the tank! with an impressive 132.5kg! She'll be hitting double bodyweight squat easily next year!
Onto bench press where Carol went 2/3, just missing out on her 3rd bench press at lockout, which would have given her a 7.5kg increase in 11 weeks, but she managed to hit 60kg! Which was once a lifetime goal!
Then lastly her deadlifts were unbelievable, 11 weeks ago she managed to hit 152.5kg and this weekend completely smashed her all time PB by 17.5kg gaining a massive 170kg! 🙊🙊 absolutely outstanding lifting from Carol! Some massive numbers coming next year! 💪💪
Then we had my newest member of the team and youngest athlete Amy who massively outdone herself this weekend! From a previous post you might have seen this girl has been losing weight when she started with me, to help her boyfriend drop some kgs! Amy dropped an impressive 16kg in 12 weeks, and still managed to blow her old numbers out of the water!
Amy won her class, gaining GPC teen 3 British x2, European x4 and WORLD x4 records!
First her squat, Amy managed a massive 140kg squat, smashing her previous 1rm up 10kg in 11weeks!
Then onto her bench press where she managed a 75kg benchpress up 2.5kg in 11 weeks!
Deadlifts went amazing, went 3/3 with a 7.5kg PB of 130kg, then took a forth lift and tried to break it again, sadly just missing out after a long day!
All of this while dropping over 2 stone in body weight unbelievable achievement in itself! So very proud of this girl!
And lastly we had my little silent assassin! Mhairi! The competition prep didn't go great for mhairi picking up a shoulder injury at the beginning of the program, which lasted the rest of the program! However, she only went and pulled it out the bag and ran riot! Coming 3rd at her first British championships in her first year of competing in a pretty stacked weight class with 5 other girls!
Her squat was outstanding, being 2.5kg under a double body weight squat smashing a massive 150kg!!!! Going into this comp her best was 130kg! 20kg she's put onto her squat since April at the Scottish! Gaining herself the second biggest female squat in the gym!
Her bench went how I expected, she hit an impressive 70kg, sadly just missed out on a 72.5kg which would have equalled her previous PB, but considering she couldn't go above 60kg the whole program because of the shoulder injury it's bloody impressive!
Then her deadlift, her previously most hated lift! We switched her to sumo, as she felt too much pressure on her back in conventional and pulled an impressive 130kg, much more in the tank, but we played for the podium finish! She's now in love with her deadlift so much higher numbers will come next year!
Her very first year competing, and won the GPC Scottish championships and 3rd in the British championships is incredible!
Already working on their next plan, got the Scottish championships in April so time to blow these numbers out the water!
