I was doing chinups with the bar as I spotted Lauren, Kelvin and all those tall buggers from behind, thats why they didn't squat very well. Kelvin did another Kelvin. Glad he's ok this time too. Still, a pretty funny faceplant.

The pacific invite was great, very exciting comp. I had a couple friends come and watch, they had no idea about powerlifting and had a good time. Robot did a great job. It was great meeting a lot of people from around Australia. Best Deadlift Fail Sequence goes to Mike Censori, who did a Kelvin by facepalming after failing his 3rd attempt, crying "Oh no!!!", fainting and falling through the PA Banner. Kelvin did another Kelvin too, that one was a bit scary the way he fell though. Tudor just totalled 605, which I think is a PB despite being down on his best squat and deadlift numbers. Big bench pb. Well done mate. Now sort out your deadlift :q Yeah the bench went well and saved my total. I lost my mind on the squats and the deadlift. I missed an opener on the deadlift at 220, got it on my second and missed 222.5 on the floor. Pretty woeful, that will probably be my last ever conventional deadlift in comp. Will we see you on the platform gp?

I reckon Linda Palsen (?) the 72kg class woman from PNG should've been in the invitational. She totalled 450kg which is 90kg above our Elite 1 mark for Raw, and almost got Elite 1 for Equipped (460kg). Opened at 170kg on the squat, 2.5x BW. Very strong!

It was an awesome comp, congrats to Robot and everyone who spotted, loaded plates, setup, lifted, spectated and helped out in the back. It was great to put some faces to names and weights too. Stripping in from of an old man so he could watch me pee would have to be the high light though lol

When I asked Florian I got the same reply as Pritchard.
Congrats to everyone who lifted, supported and ran the comp.
I have now experienced first hand Wilksy's blunt and brutal appraisal. I laughed.
