Powerlifting!

You have the chance to set a record?!?!

Do it man.

Yeah Im fairly close to the national record in DL for my weightclass. If I focus my training on gaining strength rather than throwing, I think I can take it.

Hi guys. Need your  infinite wisdom.

Ive thrown the hammer for nearly 13 years now and even though I love to throw the hammer, its time for change. So either by the end of june or medio september, I want to mix things up.

I need your help, because I have a hard time deciding what to do now and a new view on things might help.

Ive considered the following:

1) Train for decathlon. Focus will be on sprinting and jumping. Ill need to loose ~20kg of bw and try to keep my strength as much as possible.

2) Change to powerlifting for a while and build more strength. Slowly cut fat and jump/spring on the side.

I really like to jump and would like to do the decathlon. To do this I really need to loose weight as its to damn hard on my joints to jump and run at my current bw.

I also really like to lift and I think I have a chance to set a danish record in powerlifting and maybe go to an international championship. But this would force me to remain heavy.

Whats you view on this. Do you see a solution I dont or have an amazing idea. Feel free to share it.

How much do you gain suited for the deadlift vs raw? Nicely done by the way, 220 squat raw is no joke

Depends. I think I get between 20-30kg from the suit on DL. I dont have an exact number though.

Thanks man. Its not quite raw though. The kneewraps certainly help to some extend. Again couldnt tell you how much.

Looked easy.
