Great job! I wish I could have your shoulder mobility to grip the bar like you do on squats. Is this a natural gift or do spend a lot of time on shoulder mobility. If it is mobility work please do a vid on it. cheers
Hi mate, just working on improving my squat and bench - I think with my levers I have more potential to increase these massively and then just going to play catch up with the rest of the field in Deadlift. There are some absolute beasty pullers in the 93s but I have the potential to be a big squatter and bencher. Just recently benched 200kg so will be looking to keep gains going in that!
Superb really good to look back on and see what you are capable of. Could you answer a question for me please Ste? What method did you use to lose the weight and how did you make sure your strength was maintained?
Damn.. This is what hard working ass to the wall is all about... Keep up the intensity and congratulations for placing 2nd overall... I would love to train with you...
What hype? I was very pleased with my total and the fact I placed 2nd at my first Open Worlds. Keep following my progress and we'll see if you're saying the same thing next year :)
Hey buddy, thanks for the kind words. I did still deadlift but deficits with no more than 60% load purely for floor speed. All the deadlift muscles got stronger from all the squatting - the deficits helped with floor speed and familiarity of the movement pattern. Hope that answers your question.

screamermanuel Thanks ! Not need to ask I am subscribed for a long time haha, you are a big source of motivation continuous has to make videos ! And sorry for my english of shit, I'm french haha
Lol my man Freddy seems pretty salty bout the way u lift. I feel like I have more intensity when I scream. Whether I'm warmin up or goin for a pr. Screamin gets me goin
Come on brad, that was my very first competition total!!! Just cause you haven't made gains in 3 years doesn't mean no one else have... Maybe you spent too many hours on youtube and not enough time in the gym "bro".
Congrats... There are so many federations in powerlifting, everybody is a world champion. I know 3 of them in my home town and they can't even total 700 to save their life so... Numbers don't lie though. I put up better ones then yours without the hype, and there are a lot of people just as strong or stronger, a lot! Look at pete rubish, david troutt, jay nera etc... Just saying, no need to tape yourself everyday, jump and down, acting all crazy. But whatever, to each their own.
This video really motivated me back in 2013 when i was doing powerlifting - I still watch it sometimes to this day :)
Thanks everybody for your kind words! Hope your training is going well
Outstanding performance Stephen, great job!

It's the IPF. If you're the world champion, you're THE world champion.
Also, I wouldn't worry so much about what other people are doing.
Awesome achievement !!! Next goal? Other than getting stronger
Best bit is Freddy's best comp total (untested?) is 760kg at 110kg. Love to see that 700 raw squat Fred!!!
Damn.. This is what hard working ass to the wall is all about... Keep up the intensity and congratulations for placing 2nd overall...
I would love to train with you...

Freddy B you used to put up a ton of hype video's back in the day....video yourself touching a rim every 5 minutes.
All this hype for this total? Chill man, it's ok, but not all that.
