Thor joins the 1100 club at his first meet. Except kgs, not lbs.

2425 total pretty ridiculous.

And is he now the only one to ever have squatted and pulled 900+ in the same meet? Or has that been done raw before, can't remember. I know many are close.

Third squat looked fine to me. What a crazy performance.

On kirills story you can see the squat from the side and it looks high I think.

Where did u see his pulls? Haven't seen anything in IG yet.

He definitely did better than I thought he would, I did not think that recent 540 TnG bench PR would translate well to a comp bench.

Edit, found his pulls. Wow. Knees didn't look soft or anything and his grip seemed fine. That's awesome.

Looks like Eric Lilliebridge and Josh Morris have done it.

Right, there's something along those lines that I feel like I had heard hadn't been done before.

Maybe I was thinking of 1000 squat 600 bench, which as far as I know has only been done by JP price, in the same meet that is.

[NorthStrong]

Tenth highest total of all time raw w/wraps (with Rays raw raw total being 5kg above, included)

Gives perspective on how great of a day Thor had, and especially on how insane Ray's 1105 total is. That is just otherworldly for no wraps, IPF conditions lifting.

Looks like Robert Wilkerson did 100 squat and 600 bench in 2011. I don't know if you remember that squat or not lol.

Yes I do lol.

Must just be the 2 of them to have done 1000/600 then. I haven't looked at PL stats for a while, getting all rusty on it now.

Hit some small PRs this weekend. Benched 391 and pulled 705.

Only got my squat opener at 573. Couldn't walk out my second. By the time I was stable, I was pretty tired. Missed 617 on the second. Passed on the third. Totaled 1670 at 229 going 7/8. Not exactly what I wanted, but qualified for IPL drug tested worlds in Ireland next year. Plan is to compete there and then take a week vacation after.

Great stuff, Hope I get there one day as well.

My 1st meet was yesterday 152.5, 97.5, 145 (336, 215, 320) 90.5kg BW (failed 102.5 bench on butt lift, couldn't move 2nd dead at 150, which was weird and still haven't fully worked out).
Gf also had a real good 1st meet with 8/9, 55, 37.5, 70. Only just failing third bench 40kg not quite there yet. 60kg bw

[martin_mathers]

GJ on meet buddy, looks like you're doing good.

Thanks bro, pretty good all things considered.

I know I'm late to the party but I was very impressed with Thor's performance. I figured he'd squat high as chit and ramp a deadlift. I know there's no money in it compared to strongman but I hope he keeps doing some meets. Especially bigger meets like big dogs or something.

Big time. I still think that 460 was good, in which case he'd be sharing the 2nd biggest raw total ever, with Petr Petras.

The chief referee doesn't even lift!!!!

Definitely can't say he was given any gifts.

During the Christmas season as well smh.

Anyone read Scientific principles of strength training? I bought it a while ago and I'm finally getting around to reading it. My only regret is not reading it sooner.

Yeah, definitely a good reference book.

I agree. I thought it was in as well.

Hey, Martin, finally figured out the insta video. Wet the chest plate. Also impressed you could press that without touching boards. To me its a *** ton harder to press without touching boards like that!

[NorthStrong]

How much did you just total?

[martin_mathers]

How much did you just total?

1879. But given my training history for the past 2 years, even a 21lb jump over a year is not guaranteed.

You got this buddy

[JohnnyRingo350]

Anybody have any good reading/videos on blending strongman and powerlifting training? I've been checking out a lot of Brian alsure stuff, and as always reading and watching Josh Bryant.

Happy new year homies.

Also, apparently if you quit lifting for 6 months and lose 30 pounds you get weak as fuuuuuuu
