    The GPC/WPC Bench Nationals are taking place this Saturday 25th August in St. Brigids Boxing Club, Melitta Road, Kildare Town.

    Should be a great day of lifting with some big weights moved.

    Double, it's easy to use but not as much pop as the katana

    What sort of support does it give if not pop then? It's it more support all the way thru the range?

    Any other vids of your successful earlier lifts? That one didn't look too far off.

    I dunno what you put in the Youtube tags here dude but I'm seeing a vid of me squatting.

    I look awesome.

    Hard luck on that bench. My girl arms would snap under that weight.

    Exactly, gives nice support throughout but just not that zip the katana gives me.

    Sent you a vid earlier.

    Sorry bout my linking, I link the vids from my list of vids and sometimes it goes array.

    Cheers guys, hopefully hit a bigger one at worlds.
