The Saskatchewan Powerlifting Provincials were held on October 25 in Esterhazy.
It was a well organized meet with over 20 lifters competing.
Here is a brief rundown of my day.
Weighed in at a slim 136.6 kg ( 301 lbs )
Squat - 285, 295, 302.5
Each squat got a little easier. This is the lift I feel I really need to work on and improve.
Bench - 215, 227.5, 230(miss)
Nothing spectacular.
DL - 285, 305, 315
Used a DL suit for the first time in competition ( Inzer Fusion ) It is awesome. Lifts were very fast. I had a tough decision to make on last lift. A lot of people wanted me to go for the provincial record of 322.5 but I wanted to play it safe and insure a good Total. Next time.
Total 845
Wilks - 473
Pretty happy with performance but I know there is still lots of room to improve.
There were several other strongmen there:
Quinton Falk set a Sask recod in the 110Kg class for DL with a pull of 295 kg.
Travis Bloomer set a Manitoba record in the 125+ category with a DL of 310 kg ( just missed 320 )
Travis Krushelnicki did not have his best day but still put up decent numbers.
