McNamara & Guillaume Take GPC Powerlifting Worlds

Ger Mc must have been injured something must have not gone right for him. that squat is 50kgs off his best and about 70kgs off his potential!

fingers crossed for the win!

ADMIN:

THat link does not work for the complete results. could u direct me to the original point of origin

It was changed from xlsx to xls. Don't know if that will make any difference for you.

nope. where are the results coming from?

From Powerlifting Watch. Both open fine here.

not on my mac dude. sorry. thanks anyway

Looks like Andras Csiszar was holding back for the WPC Worlds his capable of a lot more than he did on those results i train with him and seen him go over 300kg on both squat and dl still well done Andy

Works fine on my Mac, running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and MS Excel 2008 v 12.2.1

Will it ever be here in the good old USA

i spoke to gerry and watched him lift gerry was not off form they had gerry squat on rubber mats for a platform that kids play on and gerry along with every one else could not set the weight up
also the squat bar was spenning at one end and welded at the other the mono lift was a metal front loader the jack was too high and gerry had to get on his toes to try get it off the bloody racks so he walked away from squat for safety reasons
on bench they dropped the bar on his head as he was not in position to hold it
this was the worst worldchampionship ever in my opinion no dead lift bar on platform for deadlift
gerry was just trying to adjust to these conditions and told me that it is the same for every one else and he was just trying to get the best he could done jamie bourke had same problems as gerry the loaders young guys could not even get 450kg on bar for tom kelly 10 minutes ittook to get weights on bar
tom said enough and also walked off for safety reasons

Then why do ya'll compete in these world championships or this powerlifting league at all?Go to the WPC...it's in England so you wouldn't have far to travel.They always had great equipment when I competed there.JK

Shame that Worlds didnt go as it should, but next year everything will chance.
I dont have enything against France, but location of Worlds should be near to Capital or place where one can fly.. This fact kept many good lifters home.
GPC did chance benchshirt (after suggest of Finland, Slovakia and Russia) rule so now things are going to right direction and i think lifters who has been out, comes back.

You have a solid point, Toni. Let's hope that some changes are made cause otherwise it looks like gpc's future isn't looking bright.

what is the new bench press rule?

the meet in gpc was never like this jessie gpc always put on a great worlds unfortunatly not this time bench shirt rule changed to open back shirt legal now only it has to cover the front deltoid at all times

Open back shirts are allowed, but majority of back must be covered somehow.
Let´s wait and see how then write to rule book.

That's fucking hilareous...how do they come up with shit like that?!

That was the way it used to be, few years back.
I think it is good desision.
