Adlington Push and Pull 2010
Had a great day on saturday at the Adlington Barbell Push and Pull 2010. Made the trip over with HMGS's Pat Hodgson. Had the customary bacon butty in the A6 Storage facility in Chorley where the event was being held, also had to laugh at the 'Ass. Muffins' that were on sale (I believe they might have been assorted muffins!).
Well, the event was a great one with a great atmosphere and some great lifters.
It was a great day of lifting for me Overhead went 140, 150, 155kg and Deadlift 250, 260, 272.5kg (600lb)
Also, got to meet Jonnywildboar for the first time, the creator of the video below and owner of Boarvision Strength Productions
Adlington Barbell
Overall was well chuffed with my performance even if it was a litle rough around the edges. Will definitely be back next year stronger.
Check out The winner Karl Grant's video 200kg C&J and 330kg Deadlift
