I think I heard that at the Ipf exec I sat on in 2011. Something like 400,000 through RPF the rest are school kids through schools etc- something like that

What do you think would be a competitive total in the 83's mate??? and a competitive deadlfit? It looks like Alex tertitski will be there with his WR deadlift

Depends what you mean by competitive. Top 5 is a massive achievement. Medalling is mindblowing. With total you'd be in the running for a medal with a high 600s and deadlift over 280. Nominations have started coming in: www.powerlifting-ipf.com/Nominations.47.0.html

Last year you would have needed 707.5 for bronze total medal and 287.5 for deadlift bronze

Webby, you can't control who is going to turn up and what they'll total. Do your best and if you medal then well done. Pritchard noted that he didn't notice where he was standing until the comp was over last year. Aim for your numbers, which I think should include taking the Australian 83 deadlift record. Having said all that it would be great to see you or any Aussie medal.

Totally agree, but the evil ruskies provide great motivation while you are training. Last year I had the nomination list on my gym wall and a red line marking 3rd place. Every set I was working to get over the line. But when the training is done its time to just focus on your own performance. If you put up the best numbers you can the rest falls into place.

I love that SP! Once nominations are in I will be printing out the list. How close were the actual placings (each lift and total wise) vs the lifts/totals that were nominated?

They ended up pretty close. I think I was nominated 3rd in squat, bench and total and that's where I ended up- but ahead of the Russian who dropped from 2nd to 4th and the swede went from 4th to 2nd.

Typically the Russians do worse at the worlds than they do at their nats- but then again this time the worlds is in Russia!!

For me Julz i don't care who turns up i just want my training to put me in a position where i have the potential to achieve the goals i set. In order to set those goals i want to know how heavy i need to lift and i can't do that without knowing what a competitive total is. I'll be following SP and printing out the list too i think. MT doesn't want me to set an actual number goal this time cause he wants me to follow the RTS process properly so i'm just going to find out what total is competitive and push as hard as i can to get there. no excuses to wimp out on a set then

As my sister says- if you want to be the champ you have to train like a champ. Champs don't say that will do, or that's enough. If you don't have a coach telling you to get under the weight and harden up, to believe you can do it, then you have to become that coach as well as the lifter. You have to tell yourself to do what you need to do.
