Today I made a 60kg catapult. Took all the weight off one side of the bar while it was on the squat stands and the bar and plates went flying. Managed not to hit anyone luckily.

Bah! I was ramping up to 165kg squat (85, 105, 125, 145, 165) and I couldn't walk out the 165. I was squatting 180 last week. I don't know what happen this week. I was dripping water, grip was all over the place, I couldn't get position correctly for low bar and felt like blood sugar dropped on last rep of 145.

Also I think I hate my gym. I need to see can I buy a day pass of Raw to check it out next week.

I'm so happy to see Tash selected, I lifted with her at the Eleiko's and a more lovely (and madder!!) woman you couldn't meet. Very interested to see how Zoe Smith fares too.

I had to laugh at the state of the people slagging off the bodybuilders looks but I guess they were scripted to do it.

Report on the GPC Ireland Teen Junior and Masters Irish National 2012 Date 16 June 2012

Sad are the homes 'round Garryowen, Since they lost their giant pride, And the banshee wail rings every vale, Around the Shannon side. Well on the 16 June 2012 the banshees wail was well and truly silenced when one of limericks sons destroyed all previous squat records by squatting 400kg at 72.9kg bodyweight and at 48 years of age. Ger McNamara, who has won more world titles and who holds more world and Irish records than any one else, destroyed the world squat record at the Irish GPC Teen, Juniors and Masters Irish nationals last Saturday with a 400kg squat. The absolute power out of the bottom of the squat was unbelievable to watch. He then went on and destroyed the world total record with a 815kg total. He also coached and mentored the Patrickswell Powerlifting team at the same competition. Part of that team was Jen o Neil who also annihilated world sub master and Irish open records. She did the biggest squat by an Irish woman with a 257.5kg effort then benched the heaviest bench ever done by a Irish woman in a full power meet, then she did the same with her deadlift and total to become the greatest total power female lifter of all time in Ireland.
The sun was shining down on the market in limerick as close by the best Teen, Junior and Master lifters in Ireland competed in the Irish Nationals. We had a high quality turnout with a lot of records of high quality been set. There were a lot of new teen and junior lifters who are the future of the sport. Young Cian Keogh from the patrickswell club won the best teen equipped lifter and his performance was outstanding for a first time competitor. From the Brutal Gym in Dublin we had three teens all of whom lifted brilliantly especially young Steven McDonnell who in his first competition set world records in all three principles. To say his squats were deep would be an understatement.
One of the most impressive lifts of the day were the deadlifts of Sean Donelon whose Sumo technique must be second to none. He pulled 260kg to his knees and full lock out with ease. He has this lift down to a fine art with the range of movement the shortest I ever saw refereeing.
It was great to see all the master lifter showing the younger lifters how its done. We in the Irish GPC were delighted to see Sammy Graham from Northern Ireland lifting again after a serious illness last year, Sammy has lifted for Ireland for decades and has won numerous world and European titles. He holds an open competition each year up the north which is the best run competition I have ever been to. Last year it attracted the strongest lifter in the world Andy Bolton. His training partner Kyle Vauls was down helping Sammy. Kyle is one of the best bench pressers (and full power) lifters in the world and this year came second in the highly prestigious Bullfarm competition in Finland where some of the best benchers in the world competed.
Bill Healy the old man himself was to me anyway the person who best demonstrates what powerlifting is all about. I trained with Bill back in the 80’s and he was strong back then but now at 62 years of age he is lifting weights most people only dream about. Bill set world and Irish records with every one of his lifts and at the end of each one had the biggest smile of anyone who lifted. He is a true credit to Ireland and has the real spirit of an Irish Warrior.
Benny Darmody is only lifting a few years but this day he came into his own. He had moved up to 90kg and he did some huge lifting with a 645kg raw total. His squat of 252.5 is the eight biggest in the records for raw total power and any bigger ones were in general done by men a lot younger and a lot heaver than Benny and his squat was as low a squat as anyone has ever done. And so everyone did really well and the standard was top class. The patrickswell powerlifting club is looking better than ever with a huge brand new extension. The warm up area was excellent and as usual the atmosphere was electric. For anyone who is really into lifting in a hardcore environment there is no better place to lift. The GPC board would like to thank Lee Marshall and his wife Marie who came over for the weekend to the competition. Lee is the technical Officer of the International GPC board and he spent the whole competition as centre ref. We all learned from him while he was here and he was a great addition to the profile of the Irish GPC Nationals. Also a big thanks to all the Patrickswell team who worked so hard during the competition. Jamie and Darragh McNamara Bob Kiely and Ger Ba spent the whole day loading and did a brilliant job. They are all big strong lifters and it helps the competitors knowing they are behind them. Next week is the Open Irish Nationals, we are looking forward to it and wish everyone the best of luck
