IPF Raw Worlds 2014

Is on right now, who's watching?

You can stream it from here: http://goodlift.info/live.php

I've got lots of mates over there now and was meant to be lifting there myself but had to pull out. Sheiko student Stephen Pritchard will be lifting on Sunday in the 120s against US superman Mike Tuscherer (sp?).

Yes!! My virtual training mate Stephen will face a huge battle against one of the strongest lifter ever, Mike T

Our guy Michail Andrukhin is awesome!



44 years old and still getting stronger from year to year,
world record in squat - 240@66 RAW

When are Pritchard and Mike T lifting? (As in what time Sunday - Aus EST?)

Hours ago i saw a lot of chicks in the -72kg class that did not know how to spread their legs. That is UNACCEPTABLE!!

I think this kind of comment is unacceptable.

These women compete on the same platform as their male counterparts and demand exactly the same levels of respect. These women are athletes, not sex objects.

While watching the stream last night I too commented to a friend about how common knee valgus collapse seemed to be amongst the women, but turning such an observation into a debasing and belittling remark as you have done is something I don't think should be tolerated.

I kind of agree. Some light innuendo is ok as humor but overt sexism and lewdness will not be tolerated.

Sure I belittled them. They're nothing but sex objects and I only watched them lift to jerk off.


Seriously, it was a joke. relax.

RAW World Championships 2014 is not finished yet. But the absolute winner by Wilks is already known I guess.

A joke, yes. Acceptable, no.

Whether you meant it in harmless fun is besides the point. Jokes like this aren't funny precisely because they're insideous.

I'm not sure if this is just a cultural difference or something, but nobody would react like this in Denmark.

What about Ielja Strik from the Netherlands? )
You had to wait for Category 84 kg.

Jose Castillo (Ecuador) Powerlifting World Record Total RAW
282,5 -  182,5 -  315 total  770kg@83 kg

The New Zealand junior Brett Gibbs broke that record. He took 83 class junior and open records for squat (280kg) and total (770.5kg).

There has been some great lifting and many records have fallen.

It's hard to deny that the current crop of IPF lifters (equipped and unequipped) we have on the world stage now are the best we've ever seen.

I watched my own weight division last night.

Mind. Blown.

Was a really tight competition and made for a lot of excitement towards the end. Was literally cheering at my computer screen!

I thought the benchpressing in the -83s was pretty impressive. Connor Lutz has a youtube channel.

Beautiful squat records in the 120- and 120+.

Congrats to Stephen Pritchard for the world record. Again a significant improvement. Yes, the 500 wilks raw are close to you!

Also congrats to my friend Mike T, who is one of the more humble and powerful lifters I ever known

Thank you. I have dropped 23kg bodyweight so I am happy to post a reasonable total. Now I have settled around 120kg I hope to build better lifts. Coach Sheiko has been brilliant guiding through the difficulties of weight loss.

Steve, what has been your approach in loosing weight? What modifications have you made to your diet/training to make it happen? Are you counting macros/calories? Does Boris give guidance in this regard?

Sheiko guided me in a general sense- he told me what approach to take- which was reducing calories- made the appropriate adjustments to training- and gave me guidance on making weight for competition.
I found eating multiple meals per day was the best approach- I had a very low calorie diet and ate 5-6 meals per day. I ate a small amount of calories just before training- especially squats.
This took me from 143 to 123kg.
