Title: DISCUSSION: Powerlifting, 5-10 July 2011 (and the Gathering) Post by: kris on July 05, 2011, 11:47:45 am This is the place to discuss the 5-10 July 2011 Powerlifting meet and the Gathering held on the weekend at Toffe's Gym.
Sign-up to lift or judge here! (http://virtualmeet.net/community/forum/meet-talk/415/0/) Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Powerlifting, 5-10 July 2011 (and the Gathering) Post by: burgerc on July 10, 2011, 05:09:33 pm Another great Gathering went by. Thanks Kris for organizing everything.
Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Powerlifting, 5-10 July 2011 (and the Gathering) Post by: kris on July 10, 2011, 06:48:55 pm I think the biggest thanks goes to Christian for flying in and making this happen again. This was a smaller event than the epic first one two years ago (http://virtualmeet.net/community/forum/meet-talk/313/0/) but we had a great time! The weather was also warmer this year, no long pants between (or in!) attempts this time. Christian also beat the forecasted rain by finishing his deadlifts just moments before the rack got its first shower.
Meet video and results are obviously to follow, but here's a shot that I think sums up the spirit of this years' Gathering quite well. Lifter, camera man and serious weight underneath the spruces.

Ryan Rigdon kindly volunteered to judge and I hopped on board too (just finished my judging).
So: who wants to be the last judge? :) Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Powerlifting, 5-10 July 2011 (and the Gathering) Post by: Weeflerunner on July 30, 2011, 05:59:48 pm I'll take that third judging spot if you're still looking for someone

Ginger: strong benching, but if possible try to get a clearer angle next time so we can actually see the bar touch (though we do know how strictly you lift!). Nikki: your shorts length is slightly borderline as they cross the knees. Otherwise strong lifting and third place on the women's overall rankings. Well done! Christian: can't thank you enough for flying in to Finland, it was a pleasure as usual. :) Ryan and Jeff: thanks for judging, you made this meet cross the finish line!

..................... Nice work everyone! Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Powerlifting, 5-10 July 2011 (and the Gathering) Post by: burgerc on August 03, 2011, 07:23:48 am Well thanks for organizing everything in Finland. My goal was to get over 500kg and it worked out. :-)
Once I can restart my training I will focus once again on squat depth. Ginger: Awesome squatting. Easy to call that they are low enough. Great benching from Nikki. |
