POWER CUT - ALL BACK ON. COME ON IN.

Competition report from the GPCGB Cornish Powerlifting Qualifier in St Ives Sunday 16th June 2019
For the first time in our history at Oxygen we took a team of 8 members to compete in a Powerlifting competition. 6 of the team were complete novices and ages ranged from 15-50 somethings with 3 female and 5 male competitors.
I am pleased to say that each and every one did themselves proud by lifting weights that they have never attempted before in the gym and thus achieving some... personal bests in the three lifts of Squat, Bench and Deadlift.
For John K Tucker it meant setting an all federation record on the Bench Press and a total record for his body weight of 75kg and Masters 5 class. Inspiring!
Lift of the day has to go to Gillian Silverthorn for her gutsy 105kg Deadlift that sealed her invite to the British.
In all this has meant that some of our team have now been invited to the GPCGB British Finals in Bristol on the 16th August 2019.
So look out Bristol here come team Oxygen!
Here are the results:
Marie Ridge Squat Bench 35kg/ Deadlift 110kg 212.5kg Total Gillian Silverthorn Squat 72.5kg/ Bench 42.5kg/ Deadlift 105kg 220kg Total Michelle Humphreys Squat 110kg/Bench 60kg/Deadlift 132.5kg 302kg Total Danny Cartwright Squat 120kg/Bench 80kg/ Deadlift 135kg 335kg total Tyrone Burman Bench Press 120kg/ Deadlift 195kg/ 315kg total Lee Chapple Squat 225kg/ Bench 140kg/ Deadlift 275kg 640kg total Mark Gilmour Bench Press 142kg /Deadlift 180kg John Tucker Squat 160kg/ Bench Press 120kg/Deadlift 185kg
Final mention must go to Kevin Silverthorn who did a sterling job at supporting me get everyone ready to lift on the platform and was awesome at being a camera man on the day. Could not have managed without him. So now he is my Assistant Coach at all competitions
