  1. We party like we bench , together!

     

    GGs , all countries, very tough CC this year, in more ways than normal.

     

    Tough time getting the right hardware, post was a PITA and bloody slow. Some things couldn't be found for love or money .

    South Australian government lifted border controls end of November, giving most of us barely a week or two to book flights.

    Never worn a mask outside of a hospital so flying with one on was bizzare, very odd feeling.

     

    Karma as usual went out of his way to organise a trip to Barossa Valley wineries, and then invite us back to his house.

     

    Unity went that extra yard in organising, ensuring all areas were being covered.

    Was great fun again, even though we felt we were being pushed harder than previous years by our opposing OCers.

     

    Oh , and just to top it off, one of our boys became a dad second time round mid meet. Thankfully it didnt stop him from joining the road trip :)

     

    Now that we've gotten rid of 2020, all of us in Oz wish the best of health and luck for 2021 to you all!

     

    Peace out to all.

  2. I understand your point Alex, and it would be unfair to some if deliveries are unavailable, but thats life man.

    Some of us will need a focus to take us away from the outside stress.

    I still have a business to run during this time, but may need a distraction to give me something to do.

    It is what it is, some can some can't, ces't la vie.

    On another note, I beg you all take the best precautions, stay well and safe , and see you on the other side of this phenomenon.

    This competition was hard, and intense, in Italy we built a strong group, we learned a lot, we laughed a lot and we also pushed a lot to keep the bar raising, I can't be more happy and proud for being part of this great team.

    I want to thank the Germans, for their hard work and for battling with us since the beginning, this is for me the real spirit of competitions, do your best and get surpassed, set up the hardware again and push harder, trying to squeeze more points over and over again, until the end. Well done!

    I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed by the "last minute win", we all knew that it was coming, but honestly,  what's the point of staying in the shadows until the last hours of a competition? Especially when you have great clockers, join the game, have fun with us, or the perception is that you are just interested to grab the gold medal and run away, when the main goal here should be to actually challenge each others for a couple of months.

    Congratulations for your first place,  but I would have preferred to congratulate you for having fun with us and winning the comp.

    Last but not least, a big thanks to the organizers, this is an enormous amount of work on your shoulders, and not an easy job to do to make this works, so again, thanks!

    I wish you all a Happy New Year, full of good benching sessions and success ?

    Max

    Dude, some of us were still benching on the last day.

    i finished at 5am my time or 6 hours before the comp ended, but couldnt hold back sleep.

    We had concerns that some of our scores werent good enough :)

  4. I think we can all agree that was one of the toughest CC comps ever, worthy of being 10th anniversary.

    Well done all who participated, and thanks to all the organisers.

     

    Shout out to the Aussie boys, another great Adelaide get together, and well done on all the time , effort and expense put in by all.

     

    Shout out to Asus for the support in Adelaide too.

     

    Now we can all catch up with our sleep and normal lives haha.

     

    Happy New Year to all for 2020.
