Sagee Devanantham
Dylan Grant
SANW Club Championships
Sagee joined Smith Strength and Power in October 2023 looking to enter his first competition in early February 2024.
​
​
When we started his PB's were:
​
- 145kg Squat
- 110kg Paused Bench Press
- 180kg Deadlift
​
4 months later in his first competition he completed a 8/9 day with:
​
- 162.5kg Squat
- 117.5kg Paused Bench Press
- 207.5kg Deadlift
​
487.5kg Total @ U93kg Junior.
​
A brilliant first outing for Sagee managing a 52.5kg total increase in competition.
​
The only miss from. the day came from his third Deadlift where we went for a risky pull of 217.5kg to see how close he could get to the 500kg total but it wouldn't budge. That aside it was a perfect day and he enjoyed it a lot.
​
We go again in 6 weeks time to push for that 500kg total.
DSM 2024
7/9
S: 165kg (+2.5kg)
B: 120kg (+2.5kg)
D: 205kg (-2.5kg)
490kg (+2.5kg)
Just a few weeks after his first competition Sagee took to the platform again in back to back peaks. Our goal was to reach the 500kg total but unfortunately we just fell short on the second bench and on there final Deadlift.
We could have easily played things more conservative on Deadlifts and secured an easy enough PB but that wasn’t the goal, and with Sagee hitting 210kg pretty well in the peak we were confident but it wasn’t to be.
Whilst he wasn’t happy I’m still happy and proud of him, amounting roughly 55kg on his gym training total before his first competition to now.
We are already working to improve and with more time away from the platform 500kg + will be no problem with his dedication and consistency.
Thank you to Swiss Powerlifting and @outcast.strength.system for a great competition and @isaiahthepotatoexplorer for being an excellent handler once again.
Onto the next.
