what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400 940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq	dave_rogerson said: Yeah I'm on it, don't worry about that. Its all a work in progress. He will hit a clean and jerk pb soon. He seems to do this in a cycle of sorts. His snatch goes up. Clean and jerk stays static. Clean and jerk then goes up. And the cycle repeats itself with a snatch pb. He needs to be bigger and stronger. He knows it and is working on it. His walking weight is the same as what he weighed in today. He does not cut for competition. His leg strength actually looked good today. I suspect that the 154 cleans were pbs. I know he has caught 160 before but never stood up. His cleans looked pretty easy, I'm sure you'll get him sorted

Member 4046, 590 posts	sexymikehowarth said:175kg back squat is very low compared to the classic lifts... Which bolds well for the future Crazy isn't it? He can clean deadlift/pull 200 with solid back positioning, but his leg strength lacks in comparison. I think he will mature late as a lifter and as time goes on and he gets stronger, he will do really well.

Cut toe in half = bad day. Member 4359, 3581 posts SQ 270, BP 140, DL 310 720.0 kgs @ 137kgs UnEq	That female commentator is wank.

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220 547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Fantastic performance from Chris, such a big performance on such a big stage. Hope he uses that to really motivate him for the future! By the sounds of it, he's got an awful lot more potential to unlock

I'm really happy for him. To put all of this in perspective, we managed to get his squats up this past 8 weeks and he hit pbs all over the place. He front squated 160 x 2 and I think hit a 172.5, maybe 175 backsquat. Gives you an idea of how much of a technician he is. 2 years ago at the British, he bombed out on a 135 clean and jerk, having snatched 115/116 I think. The 130 was 5kg PB, the 150 was equal pb and the total = 12kg pb. Can't ask for more than that. Also, really, really gutted for Shaun. imagine if you can get him so a 500lbs back squat awesome potential

By the sounds of it, he's got an awful lot more potential to unlock Definitely. If we could his maximal strength and up and get him to be able to dominate his lifts like some of the others do I think his clean and jerk would rocket. He is really quick, mobile and has an unreal work capacity.

Member 4046, 590 posts	Benfrancis1993 said: imagine if you can get him so a 500lbs back squat awesome potential It would be insane. He is slowly getting stronger. 180 will go in the next few weeks. I will physically shackle him to the bar and make him do it if I have to. To be fair, his squats are some of the lowest I have ever seen and he lifts beltless, so that has something to do with it.

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Now the dust has settled after the big day yesterday, today's 63kg Women has 2 legit medal contenders for England. Sarah Davies and Emily Godley have the joint highest entry totals (not that those mean much as we have seen) but it seems like a tight class overall, a lot of women down on 195-200. Cyprus in the 77 A group at 730 tonight, a school friend of mine, son of our national coach (he isn't there, Viktor Mitrou is). He will be looking to at least hit our world's qualifying standard (also +2kg to Cyprus record) of 291, and if he gets top 6 that is a big plus. Jack Oliver also down to start and in my honest opinion has a shot at a medal if he has a good day.

Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Not sure what there is to 'lol' about Mike - he did a 140/172 at the British Championships in May, and the top 5 totals from last Games were 333, 308, 297, 293, 289. Glad you are enjoying the updates and I hope everyone else is too!

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Sarah 3rd attempt at 83. Nails it, thankfully! Much, much more measured attempt. Classic case of nerves making you want to overdo everything making a mess of things, I know I've certainly done it and then the 3rd time of asking comes out like an actual easy opener. So she is still in there. Looked good for much more. Onwards!

Member 4115, 1247 posts SQ 195, BP 140, DL 220 555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq	Just seen this thread. Wonder how many comments there have been on Smalls actually providing decent updates for a change? Not been following the totals etc placed up but what are tiler's chances of a medal looking like?
