Competition Report: EYKC Press Competition


Well this weekend was the EYKC Press competition, the event was the first Press only competition I've ever done (or organized) and I think it went pretty well. The results have been posted and I think that everyone did outstanding. Personally I've achieved the goals I've set for myself earlier and achieved 60reps in the Standing Press event with the 16kg bells.

Fast forward to about 1:30 and the event starts. 60reps in 5min.

55reps in the chair press.

I personally participated in both the Standing and the Chair press events. I did what I planned on when it comes to the lifts. I got 60reps in the Standing Press and I was pooped afterwards, that was a lot of lifting. The press seems simple but doing it for such high repetitions is not easy at all. About a half hour later I took a seat for the Chair Press and completed 55 reps with the 16kg bells in 5minutes. Over all I am very happy with the results of the competition, I did what I planned on. Now hopefully I can improve the next time and upgrade to either 20kg or 24kg bells.

Great job Boris! I'm so intrigued by competition! I'm really thinking about taking that road! Love the chair lifting-I've never done that, time to give it a try!
Any suggestions for someone who's trying to knock on the door of competition to get started??

Thanks guys.

Diana - best advice is seek out someone local who's in the scene and just get started training!
