Ryan joined Smith Strength & Power after a bad coaching experience combined with a period of regression in his training. Finding himself constantly beaten up, under recovered, not progressing and picking up bad technical habits that weren't to competition standard.

​

After entering his first competition he needed to change so we got stuck in to an 11 week prep. 

​

The comp was a success hitting:

​

S 202.5kg 

B: 130kg

D: 235kg

​

8/9, 567.5kg Total @ U93kg, 6th place out of 25 in his class. 

​

We came out with with +5kg on his on squat, matched his best on Bench and +5kg on Deadlift compared to what he hit in the meet prep.

​

Another goal we had was to see how close he could get to the Belgium Nationals QT which is 580kg. We came very close with a bit more left the tank on his Deadlift, so we know we will qualify for that with more training in early 2023.

​

Overall a great first outing that couldn't have gone much better, especially considering where Ryan started.

 

On to the next one.
