World Bench Press Championships

The IPF World Bench Press Championships were held in Thisted, a small town on the west coast of Jylland. I had a friend lifting and another coaching, and this coincidence of time and space meant that I was obligated to go watch. I had a fantastic time catching up with my old friends and meeting new ones during the "banquet" held after the competition. ("Banquet" hardly describes the scene when you have a room full of drooling powerlifters, many coming off of painfully strict pre-meet diets)

I arrived at the tail end of the event, just in time to see the big guys push 300+ kg off their chests. Impressive.
