Joni said:very impressed by your overhead tech mate! Nice to meet you and put a (familiar) face on a name on the forum  Cheers. I've been working at the technique, but there is still a long way to go with my overhead, especially on more awkward events. | |||

| Saturday 23rd January Adlington push and pull Arrived 10.45 feeling a little rushed and nervous. Overhead (p/clean and jerk) Warmed up to 110kg. Went for lower opener to calm nerves. 115kg*1 120kg*1 = PB 125kg*1 = PB Went far better than I had hoped. All lifts powercleaned successfully so didn't have to bring out the continentals (thank gooodness). Really pleased with this. Deadlift 250kg*1 270kg*1 285kg*1 = PB Warmed up to 240 inadvertently (didn't realise there were some 25s on the bar). 250 settled the nerves, 270 was ok. Considered 290 but figured 285 a safer bet (and still a PB). Don't want any injuries at this point in the season for the sake of a few KG. A great day. The venue was just about the right size and the equipment was spot on. Being able to use bars, weights and platforms like that really is a pleasure when you've been training at my gym. The organisation was also spot on. A good day. | |||

Boar said:well done james mate , your deadlifts flew up !! Cheers mate. The whole atmosphere and set-up was perfect which really helped. Do you know if anyone caught them on camera? Would love to see any footage or pictures. | |||

| Looking strong mate. Those power cleans were very impressive - brutal, even. The deadlift was also very quick off the floor. Best of luck with your training. | |||

| Good lifting today Joni. As Ben said, lifting next to guys doing 400lbs+ c&j can be daunting. But a PB is a PB, and there is a whole season ahead. And a season after that, and so on. Plenty of time to keep getting stronger. At least, that's how I rationalise it. | |||

| Fantastic day. Well run and a well set-up venue and atmosphere. Thanks again to all involved in running the event. Oh, and if anyone has any pictures/footage of my lifts I would more than appreciate seeing them. | |||

MrSmall said:Nice one James. Any comps coming up? I'm doing the push/pull next week, though getting there will be interesting (see post above about my car...). My buildup hasn't quite worked as planned but would still like to put in a reasonable performance. After that I want to do at least a couple of strongman comps this year. One will be Northwich, other than that I really don't know yet. | |||
