The U93kg class is lifting at the moment. Worth a look, my mate Hayden just opened with a 250kg/550lb squat and nailed it!

The live stream is great, perfect quality and the score sheet is sat right alongside it and updates after each lift

Man he must be under a lot of pressure but he made his 2nd attempt with 572 look easy, moves him up into 2nd place behind Stephen Manuel from Great Britain.

Missed 267.5kg on his final lift, so he is in 4th place going into the bench. Looked like he stumbled a little on the walk up to his last lift so it might have screwed with his a little, bit of a shame. Still definately up there in the mix though.

5min break now while they get ready for the bench MF.

319 opening bench = EASY

American LS McLain III just powered out an EASY 423.5 bench opener :261:

Hayden just got 341 for his second lift but didn't look that happy with it for some reason.

Hayden going for 352 and his final lift... just missed it. For some reason the spotters didn't help him unrack the bar at the start?

Now we're waiting for the American's final lift ~ 467.5!

So at the end of the bench Stephen Manuel leads, the difference between 1st and 2nd place is less than 4 Wilks points:


1st: Stephen Manuel (GB) / 293.75 Wilks
2nd: LS McLain III (USA) / 289.44 Wilks
3rd: Krzysztof Wierzbicki (POL) / 285.9 Wilks

7th: Hayden Pritchard (NZ) / 262.9 Wilks


About 15-20mins until the deadlift kicks off.

One minute until the deadlifts...

Nice easy 594 opener from Hayden, if the meet were to stop right now he would win it haha. Looking good anyway, looks like he's put in 627 for his second attempt.

 

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

A world record opener from Krzysztof Wierzbicki if he can get it, 726...

VERY EASY.

 

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

Hayden going for the 627...

Got it after a slight struggle to make lockout. Good lift ~ and he looked pretty happy with it too. Attempt #3 will be a crack at 655

Krzysztof Wierzbicki (POL) took it out with a very impressive 781 final deadlift, ended up winning by a comfortable margin thanks to his strong pulling.

Huge congrats to Hayden, he missed his final lift but 7th in the world is a fantastic achievement and I'm sure he will be happy with that MF.
