If you REALLY dont know what X23 is then you need to up your game! X23 was Wolverine’s mutant lab grown daughter – the ultimate war machine! It doesn’t get cooler than that. All competitors can use this as a qualifier for the A/BPU British Full Power Championships if you hit the qualifying total.
The SuperBomb Flight – Maximum 15 lifters
Your chance to add another 100kg to your total!
This is a straight flight of equipped lifters with all rules as per Multiply for Squat and Deadlift with the exception of bench where you are allowed to use an Unlimited shirt. All totals will be recorded as unlimited.
Best Lifter Award? Who knows, maybe a sword, a hatchet of maybe just relieved you made it through the day!
