The ladies bench openers looked very well picked. Also Keeta Davis, holy hell. Opens at 275.
Keeta finished bench with 140. I think that puts her in a pretty small and select group. I think she has the highest squat too, so her lead is opening up quite a bit.
Nice little 270kg opener bench for Hicks. Dude is looking very strong.
Yep. Karascondi isnāt looking bad either, and Belkin has kept himself in the mix with his. Odell just needs to get his second and heās in a good spot too.
Fuark I woke up late and forgot about this.
Hicks 275 got red lighted, any ideas?? Bar dipped maybe ? Or did he miss the press call?
Iām trying to figure out why Odell keeps getting reds for his bench.
Who the fk sleeps in that late!!![]()
![]()
Someone who doesnāt have kids
I never slept that late even When I didnāt have kids. Always too much to do and too little time to do it.
Whatād I miss?
I see Hellreigel is off today.
Hicksy is under benching but looks to still have enough for the win.
Is Odell ok?
Odell leading the squat with 470 followed by Hicks with 440.
Odell just got a 260 bench
Hicks has 270.
Odell in the lead by 20kg after 2. Hicks in second
Deadlifts will be Interesting
Itās opening up a bit between one, two and then the rest. Belkin on 655 going into deadlifts needs an eye kept on him, and Odell with 730 likewise. Hicks as well, of course, with 700.
Just saw Odells 470kg on Insta. What an absolute unit. Was depth being judged strict?

Isnāt Hicks on 710
Mark better answer this than me. I dont really have a comparison. I would say fairly rather than strict.
He is, yes.
I will never comment on depth judging without a side judge view. Markos tolerates no fuckery though, so I know for sure depth is being judged correctly and consistently
Iāve felt like Wild Cats is pretty Oz lifter heavy. Maybe after this one word can get out so we can get some strong overseas females in. Right now itās just strongest middleweight in Australia pretty much lol. Iād love to see lifters like Chakera Ingram compete
If itās a success, guaranteed international lifters will be brought in.
What Iām surprised is Dakoda Plumridge pulling. She bombed on bench so why bother?
Because big as gold plates and shit.
On another note if I hear Markos go off about all females squatting 200+ again or using gold plates for womenās squat Iām gonna go steal dem gold plates
