Who is your coach?
Kirisome looks a big unit. Should be a great SHeavy event, along watching other guns of Aust powerlifting.
Is it common for people to have coaches now in the non-elite ranks?
I just heard there are over 130 lifters nominated for the PA raw nats powerlifting and another 30 in bench only. That's awesome!!!
Considering its the 3rd year it has run and that it's run separately from equipped nats it looks like a clear sign the sport has taken off!!
Spartacus-
Not serious. In fact, the issues are pretty much fixed now, but the challenge I face is that I had to take time off with no training. So I'm going in to lift seriously detrained. Pretty much competing after only a couple of weeks of training.
I think my squat and deadlift are about 30kg or so off what they normally are. I had been thinking I should just sit it out as a bad performance won't do me any favours- but it turns out I have to lift to qualify for worlds anyway.
Good luck to Anna. That is all you should do, go for a pb and grading. What anyone else does is out of your control. Achieve your own goals and you always win.
If its not too personal spritcha, what was the injury?
