lifts looked great, especially since the SQ and BP were his 4th attempts!

Needs a longer beard, though. :)

Hid DL looked like your Tim, slight hitch and unlocked knees!

Other than that he is stronger than me!

Awesome lifting!

Congrats on your awesome lifting. Darren was bumped out of the second flight and was thrown in with the giants. I wasn't able to see your lifts so I'm glad these videos were posted. Ingibjorg Oladottir squats were strong and I belive she would have had a huge total. I look forward to seeing her lift in Las Vegas. Also, thank you to team Iceland for helping USA's Bill Bradley warm up and shirt up!

Aloha,
