Competitions to date

My memory is pretty poor on some of these but I will do my best to try and remember numbers.

I had my first competition at 6 months training.

October 2007 110kg weight class - NIPF Raw Power 180/125/250 TOTAL 555kg

January 2008 100kg weight class - IDFPA Nationals (Raw) 200/137.5/273 TOTAL 610kg

As these were records and I took 4th attempts on each which broke down as 205/140/280

2008 IDFPA Single Lifts Raw 125kg weight class
Squat 215kg
Bench 145kg
Deadlift 280kg

2008 WDFPF European Championships Raw 110kg weight class. I was a wee shit here and just did openers. 195/125/240 TOTAL 560kg

It was around these competitions that my poor form caught up with me and lower back injuries started to accumulate and really slow/stop my training.

2009 IDFPA National Championships Raw 110kg weight class 210/130/232.5 TOTAL 572.5kg

2009 WDFPF World Championships Raw 110kg weight class 232.5/145/265 TOTAL 642.5kg

After this competition I took a step back and had a look at where I was going wrong and addressed a lot of technical deficiencies. I also decided to make the move into equipped powerlifting

February/March 2010 GPC Northern Ireland Equipped 310/210/280 TOTAL 800kg

August 2010 GPC World Championships Equipped 370/250/300 TOTAL 920kg

February/March 2011 GPC Northern Ireland Equipped BOMB

July 2011 125kg weight class - GPC Equipped Nationals 430/300/320 TOTAL 1050kg

November 2011 125kg weight class - GPC World Championships BOMB



I now hope to compete sometime in 2013. As you can see I've made a bit of a habit of bombing my last few competitions. Doing my best to adjust my training this time round to address these issues after now being about a year out of the sport
