ANNA SUSEL - URBAN BARBELL CLASSIC 2

Not the start we planned. Pretty much everything after it was. 👊

Anna missed her opening squat, came straight back and made it on her second, then didn’t miss another lift all day.

Finished with:

112.5kg squat
50kg bench PB
135kg deadlift PB
297.5kg total PB

8/9 and a 10kg improvement on her total since April.

Anna journey to the platform has been huge and she only continues to get better and stronger.

Exactly what it’s all about. ⚫️⚪️

RACHAEL O’SULLIVAN - URBAN BARBELL CLASSIC 2 🥈

Sometimes you have to stay in the fight and make the day work and that’s exactly Rachael Molly Ó Sullivan did.

Rachael opened strongly with 132.5kg on squat, but 140kg wasn’t there on the day. Bench followed a similar pattern, finishing on 50kg after narrowly missing 52.5kg.

Then she absolutely nailed deadlifts.

⚪ 132.5kg Squat
⚪ 50kg Bench
⚪ 155kg Deadlift — PB
⚪ 337.5kg Total
🥈 2nd place

That 155kg deadlift was the biggest pull Rachael has ever put on the board and it secured a podium position for her.

That’s a pretty good example of comp lifting: stay composed, keep collecting kilos and finish the day properly.

Plenty more to come.

SEAN WALKER - URBAN BARBELL CLASSIC 2 🥈

Another big step forward for Shon at the Urban Barbell Classic.

⚪ 227.5kg Squat — PB
⚪ 152.5kg Bench — PB
⚪ 250kg Deadlift
⚪ 630kg Total — PB
🥈 2nd place

A year ago Sean totalled 607.5kg at the August Open. Earlier this year he moved that to 620kg. This time around, 630kg.

He took a swing at 155kg on bench and 255kg on deadlift as well, so there’s already more sitting there.

Consistent work, consistent progress. With another year left as a junior we’re excited to see what Sean can bring in 2027.

227.5 / 152.5 / 250 — 630kg.

Onwards. 🏴‍☠️

TARA MAGUIRE — URBAN BARBELL CLASSIC 2 🥇

Another step toward building Tara Maguire Murray towards the top after a hiatus.

Missed 140kg on her second squat. Came back out, took it again and nailed it on the third.

Then went 6/6 on bench and deadlift.

140kg squat
67.5kg bench
140kg deadlift
347.5kg total

8/9 and 1st place. 🥇

That ability to reset after a missed lift and get straight back to business is exactly what you’d expect from a lifter of Tara’s experience.

Another one for Team Urban. ⚫️⚪️

Just a really well executed day from start to finish. Every attempt built on the last and Alan finished the weekend with nine white lights on the board.

9/9. Job done. ⚪⚪⚪
