Posted on

Flexis – The most flexible and have a lot of give in them. Still 7mm but made for comfort as well as performance. These sleeves are great if you want warmth at the knee and not to worry about any discomfort. I would be wearing these for accessory days or if I have a session where there isn’t much load. Somthing like a high bar, cleans, leg press and anything that requires a bit of freedom. Flexible by name, flexible by nature. Stiff – Similar to the flexis but they have that...
Lumière sur la fratrie A7

Comment avons- nous commencé le powerlifting ? "Nicolas a d'abord commencé par la préparation physique qu'il faisait pour le rugby. Ses performances n'étaient pas si mauvaises alors notre père a fait quelques recherches et a trouvé le site de la Fédération Française de Force. Puis Nicolas a trouvé un club et a commencé sa carrière de powerlifter à l'âge de 16 ans. Pendant les vacances de Noël, il m'a défié sur un deadlift. J'ai soulevé une barre à 100kg alors que j'avais 14 ans. Et j’ai donc commencé à faire de la compétition la saison suivante. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes tous deux membres de l'équipe de France et Nicolas me coache depuis mes débuts. Nos parents nous soutiennent et nous suivent...

Our parents support and follow us everywhere, for both national and international competitions. They are our biggest fans. It’s our father who built our...
