Rich - APL Nationals 2022

LIFTING RESULTS FROM APL NATIONALs 2022

Rich competed in the open and masters 40-44 under 125 kg sleeved division.

Rich leading up to the 2022 nationals had multiple set backs with sickness. His most challenging part of prep was getting out of his own way, knowing that he had done a-lot of accumulated work over the year. All he needed to do was string together a few consecutive training blocks to make it all click, which he ended up doing. Well done Rich!

Comp day Rich finished 2nd place with:

Squat - 292.5 kg

Bench - 192.5 kg

Deadlift - 265 kg

Total - 750 kg

Since nationals in 2022, Rich has been building a big base prep towards 2023. Recently he competed in the 2023 APL nationals event and secured himself 2nd place with a 780kg total. Rich had been working really hard to bring up his lagging lift and at nationals he managed to pull off a 300kg squat and deadlift in the same comp. Rich has been working hard toward a 200kg bench press and is getting close with his best bench being 195 kg. This offseason he will look to put himself in a position to go well above 800kg total for his next comp.
