Open Cup of Belarus in power sports started in Minsk

Today, on September 20, the Open Cup of Belarus of the NAP Federation in power sports started in the capital sports complex “Dynamo”. The tournament gathered about 200 participants from three countries: in addition to the hosts, athletes from Russia and Israel argued for the awards.

- The first platform is classic powerlifting: squat, bench press, deadlift. The second includes about seven nominations for bicep climbing: extreme, classic, strict biceps and double-athlon. On the third - streetlifting: pull-up, push-up, double-athlete.

The most important task is not to set new national records, but to instill in the younger generation a love for a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, power sports are available to everyone: the youngest participant of the competition is only 12 years old, and the oldest - 83.

- At the last competitions, she fulfilled the standard of a candidate for the master of sports in triathlon. This time I came for the master on the squat, the girl smiles. The first approach I plan 105 kg, in general I would like to sit 117.5. For the competition was prepared for about a month, the technique has already been developed. In power sports, I like that results come immediately. You train and you start lifting new weights. It's very motivating.

- In the bench press, the first approach is planned 80 kg. And in biceps I start with 40 kg, and there it goes. This is my fourth competition. I went to the gym all the time, but I only started working professionally this year. First and foremost, it's discipline. When you take a prize, it is a victory over yourself.
