January 14, 2012 BATTLE OF MONTREAL (CPF) Powerlifting Competition
Preliminary MEET RESULTS are here
&feature=share
The 2012 Battle of Montreal was a huge success once again. This time more than half the lifters were brand new lifters and many lifted raw. People, lifters and spectators drove from far away, from Amherst Nova Scotio, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Quebec City, Bellville Ontario, Ottawa, and Lake George New York. The roads were terrible with freezing rain and snow storms and it was Friday the 13th, and not one lifter cancelled because of weather, they all came in and they all impressed everyone with very strong and determined lifting. We had more volunteers spotting and loading, more top level judges and the best people announcing and runnning the front desk. The music was great, the lifting was incredible. Everyone that was here really enjoyed the atmosphere, the lifting and the whole experience. Congratulations to impressive showings by teams from Amhurst Powerlifting Club, Elite Experience, MOFO, GOON Squad, Quebec, Stittsville,
What's Happening At Montreal Barbell This Week...,Jan 23-29, 2012 - Ok, we have been so motivated by the 2012 Battle of Montreal last week that we are going back at it hard and heavy right away. Started with a heavy hard work bench night on Friday and Big Squat day on Sunday. Frank a fairly new member at Montreal Barbell and new to powerlifting at 175 lbs raw squatted three work sets with 505 some with 3 reps and then 555 lbs and then a downset of 415 x 7 reps all with great form. Cory, Chris's cousin from Toronto, at the same weight and first time squatting heavy went up to 325 for reps and 505 x 5 high box squat. We were also motivated by watching Joel Bouliane and Jay Nera squatting live from Texas at the Rum5, great job by both! Tuesday is light raw bench day, Wednesday big deadlift day and Friday back to Heavy Shirt Bench night. We have goals and we are motivated. Come join us and GO HEAVY OR GO HOME!
