[Timo Lauttamus]

Thanks guys!!

Hopefully one day i can repeat this officially, everything needs to be there.. ..strength, mind, pleasant barbell etc.. ..one bonus is belt, i’ll wear it next time for sure I wanted to hit my personal goal as raw deadlift, only lifter, chalk and barbell.

I really liked how you ended it with the slow-mo.

WOW TIMO!!

That is one of the most impressive lifts I have ever seen with the fingers. Congrats on this great accomplishment, as I know you have worked hard on achieving it.

I sure hope you can make it to Kansas next fall for the IAWA Gold Cup. If you can make it you have an invite to stay at my place. I’ll even pick you up at the airport and since I’m in the US you don’t have to worry about me driving the wrong direction around round abouts (like when you were riding with me in England haha)!

Again – GREAT JOB! I would love to see you pull on my 28mm Okie DL bar which has better knurling than the Eleiko bars.

Thanks Ruth!

I wanted to see what happened in the lowering part because my index finger was sore after it and it’s still sore, i figured out after seeing that impact

Thanks Al!

We have once again african holiday from mid-july to mid august, which will be my biggest adventure so far. If everything will be okay afterwards, we’ll book tickets to US, my wife has EU passport these days.
I don’t know yet how’s my deadlift strength after the mountains (last year it was great) but fingers will be there If it’s there i will try your Okie barbell for sure.
Anyway i’m satisfied after reaching my personal goal, years of work finally paid off, but still feeling there is things to do and after few years i’ll be senior class lifter.
