Awesome lift!!! inspirational stuff! i was looking at getting into powerlifting at some stage but my numbers are MILES away from yours, you always had good strength levels?

that looked easy!! nice one, strong

Thank you very much... The hardest part is just entering the show... I say go along throw yourself in the deep end and you will enjoy it. Everybody has to start somewhere and it can be fun just trying to beat your own pb's. We had a few lads from our gym enter at the Welsh for the first time, they loved it.. You have nothing to lose, when you have finished your training atleast you will have something to show for it

Hey Chris - well done at the championship awesome lifts, with great form.

I'm interesting in having a go at PL - I'm quite strong for a bber (obviously not in your league) but I am not natural - do they drug test in the PL comps?

wow getting on for 4x your bodyweight

how come your deads look almost like stifflegs?
you must have the lower back of a tank!

benst · 21-04-2008, 08:12 PM

you make it look far to easy

chris jenkins · 22-04-2008, 09:06 AM

They have tested and non tested feds bro.. So you have a choice of what feds to lift with, give it a bash. A lot of bodybuilders are very strong, I think bodybuilding training helps powerlifters..

I deadlift with little legs but lately I have been using them a bit more to start the drive from the bottom. There is a vid of me in Texas with Flex floating around on youtube, check that out and I dip with my legs a lot more in that vid. I have taken my legs in a little as of late and this has helped my lockout.

Thank you Benst, nice one bud..

looked very easy Jenkins, havent you squatted 370kg plus in comp? Not sure whats your pb?

chris jenkins · 24-04-2008, 01:45 PM

Thank's bro, yes I have squated 372.5kg's. I will be competing this sunday and then have the British in june, I try not to max out before the bigger shows. I had a bad back injury after the 2006 British and it continued up until the 2007 British. I changed my squat day from mon to wed's and I have made a full recovery. I'm hoping to bump up the squat at the next British

Cool, Jenkins just a random question, Ive started to get into equipped lifting, squat with wraps and belt 200kg or so, in equipment 220kg, I feel the support from equipment, but want to squat more. You think heavy walkouts without belt will help, going up to 300kg walkouts, every other week training walkouts on top of squats, then after a while lighter weight will feel light on my back

you think this a good idea?
