Competition 1.5

So due to a time clash with my competition and my 21st birthday dinner, I was forced to withdraw from the QWA League Round #2. It was slightly disappointing but it's not that important (there are several throughout the year). To make up for it I did a singles session anyway on Saturday with my cousin who came up and another friend, then Monday too, with E. I ended up getting 55/72.5. I missed 70 CJ the first time then smashed it the second. Also missed 60 SN and 75 SN. On Monday I missed 55 SN the first time, too slow, then smashed 55 (power) and missed 57. I then got 70 CJ, missed 73 down too early, quite sure I got 74, and missed 75 elbow rebend.

For the time being I will use the numbers 55/75 for training as my PBs. I am still not yet able to get into an optimal catch position for snatch and jerk, when I go near max I end up just doing powers instead. Hopefully by the end of the year I will have got the rough technique down enough to only need slight refinining, so my training can be optimal.

As a side note, I also did some mucking around on Saturday. Got 65 push press 80 bench, 100x2 FS, 130 deadlift. To recap on current PBs:

SN       55
CJ        75
BSx5    96
FSx5    89
SSx5    42
PP        65
BP        80
DL      130

Anyway, June 1st will be my next competition hopefully. Starting my program from week 1 on new numbers. Hopefully see you then. In the mean time, check out my youtube for video updates and other random stuff.

Follow my journey and watch me grow. I'll be back.

P.S. Sorry for not writing this post very well. Just had training and am very tired and rushed. Uni calls.
