Tom Martin meet recap

tommartinpl- Quick recap of the comp yesterday and my successful lifts. Weighed in at 99.3kg, the lightest I've been in some time. Pretty stressful cut to be doing during a 20 hour door to door journey to California, landing less than 2 days before I lifted... Squat - 382.5kg, 22.5kg up on my best in this weight class and 12.5kg up on my best ever at 110. So glad to put this on the platform after falling 380 my last 4 attempts in comp! Tiny bit conservative with attempt selection, but pleased with this. Bench - 200kg, 5kg down on my best in this class, and just a tiny bit too optimistic with attempt selection after the squats. Deadlift - 402.5kg, most I've done in this class and matches my best at 110. Total 985kg at 99.3kg bw, biggest total in Britain bettering my own set at 982.5 in the 110s last year. 2nd highest total ever in the 100kg class worldwide, and no.1 this year :) 601 wilks points, first in Britain to hit 600+, 8th highest across all weight classes and federations worldwide. Decent result! Big thankyou to Dan and Sparkle Green @bossbarbellclub for having me over at such an amazing competition amongst a handful of the best lifters in the world, and to anyone going out of their way to help me on the day!
