Squat: Steve Mann was there to help me with the squat portion, fit into the 44 Centurion with no problem, and he wrapped me on 285 and 292.5. Plenty of room in the tank to go up to over 300 as long as I hit depth on my 2nd.

If anyone interested in seeing this old bag of Sherdog shit lift at IPF World Masters, here is some information. I don't have any blurry pictures of cheap copy paper, but I do have a link and some specifics.

Saturday October 15th, 1:30pm Eastern (3:00 Newfoundland Daylight Time)

Goodlift Live - this link should get you there, should be live a little before 1:30 on the 15th.

For those with that work from home or office life, one of my lifters will be competing on the 12th at 1:00pm Eastern in the female classic division, that morning will feature some very good lifters including Kimberly Wofford, LS McClain and Layne Norton, all former IPF Raw Open world champions or medalists. Those sessions will be accessible through the same link.

Complete Schedule

Nominations List

Lucky for me about half the guys in my weight class have backed out or are competing at Open Worlds in 5 weeks, so I have a pretty good shot at gold or silver.
Some friends, big IPF names and me below.

Linette Bogdan - Oct 12th, 1:00 Eastern
Wilson Martinez - Oct 14th - Oct 14th, 2:30 Eastern
Ryan Donnelly & Steve Mann - Oct 15th, 1:30 Eastern

If anyone is super interested, check out the Classic (Raw) men's 105-120+ session on the 12th. I was too late in my request to also lift raw (it filled up 2 weeks prior, they were not aware that I wanted to lift raw also, and nobody dropped out). We figure I was in the ballpark of 272.5-280/195-197.5/277.5-285 range for either 105 or 120, we think that would be bronze overall territory for either class.
