Sun, 11/12/2017 - 19:41 -- admin
Tom weighed in at 239.19 (108.5kg) and made lifts of 815 lbs (370kg) - Comp PB + British Record, he benched - 462.96 (210kg) - Equal Comp PB and then he pulled an 887.35 lb (402.5kg) Comp PB + British Record. This gave him a new British Record + Biggest British raw total across all weight classes and federations with 2,166 982.5kg / 580 wilks) . This places Tom 5th on Michael Soong's Alltime Raw 242 rankings!
(Belkin's record isnt up yet on Soong's list but when it is Tom's will be 5th)

"So, 4 months ago (Jesus has it been that long?!) I had surgery to reattach my bicep after ripping it off in my last competition. I had a goal to finish the year back on the platform again, but there were days up until maybe 8 weeks ago I was too frightened to pick up an empty bar, and I never imagined I would actually be lifting at my best ever, with a 25kg increase to my total. Big thanks to everyone who has helped me get back to doing the only thing I really know how to. Penny Clark for the monumental task of basically taking care of everything in my life that I often take for granted so I can just get on with doing what I inexplicably need to. I'm useless and would have starved to death by now without you
