I went over to the Adlington Barbell Club today to watch the overhead challenge, and there was some great lifting. Mark Clegg became the first person in the 51 year history of the club to lift 200 kilos overhead - and he did it with a Behind The Neck Press! And then followed it up with 210, before failing very narrowly with 215 and 217.5. Andy Littler did a great 187.5 BTN Press, and Mark Felix did 182.5 - truly sensational for a lifter with no Olympic Lifting background to put so much overhead. He's got to have a great chance at this year's BSM next month.
Last but not least, Aaron Lohan got his first ever 400 pound bench press today - and made it look worryingly easy!
Here's a few photos taken on the day. No action shots, because I was doing a bit of helping out, but a few memento photos taken with a few of the guys. The one with Fat Pete is a bit blurred, but it's not every day you get your picture taken with Fat Pete, so in it goes!
