The BCPA(british columbia powerlifting association) is having a Fall open in September or October so im hoping to enter and destroy some Canadian Records! at the 66kg class!

Deadlifts - just for the heck of it, gotta start deadlifting again for the power meet.
All easy pulls no belt.
105kg X 5
125kg X 5
145kg X 3

nice PR, I hope you get some PRs with the Smolov cycle

Hey Jacob,

Great video, thanks for posting. Your form looks pretty good from what I can see, but I do have one question for you. It was hard to tell since the music was playing pretty loudly, but I couldn't hear the bar rattling when it reaches your hips... do you hit the bar with your hips/thighs at the top of position 1? If you watch and listen closely in the highlight videos of the team practices, you can hear the bar rattling when the guys hit it with their hips/thighs because they are hitting the bar so hard in order to propel it up to the top where the catch occurs. This is what helps them move so much weight. If you aren't hitting, I would recommend that you try it because it will help you increase your lifts. If you ARE hitting, try to listen for the rattling sound - that is the best indicator that you are making sufficient contact, and not just brushing the bar and pulling with your arms, which will limit the amount of weight you can pull. Do you have a coach or trainer who helps you with your Olympic Lifting? Your jerk looks really solid, and the form (other than the hitting) looks great on the rest of the lift as well from what I can see.

Pretty cool that you can deadlift twice your body weight and more!
Let's put Canada back on the map for powerlifting!  (QC,Montreal based here)

Thanks for the support guys!
Vincent - I'm 100% on board with putting Canada back on the international scene for powerlifting/weightlifting.
Weightlifting is defiantly more popular over there in Quebec eh? Most of the people that represented Canada in olympic level weightlifting were/are from Quebec.
Jen - The squats were easier than then looked in the video lol. You better slow down before you catch up with me!
Also i had nothing to do after my squats so i practiced some light snatches because i was waiting for my friend to finish up.

Anyway, todays workout went well -- even tho i have a nasty cold.
