First off thanks to the well wishes on the engagement guys! Olly, just outside of Eastbourne, going to move after the summer to who knows where!

Andy and Owen, I'll have to meet you guys somewhere in the middle Grin
Openers, depends how I feel really, could be 95/110, could be 100/120. We will see on the day what I think I can get.

Only goal at this one is to show clear progress as a lifter and try to qualify for British championships. I am pretty confident of both of these but you know how it goes. Completely new territory for me to actually be in with a good shot of hitting goals! Ironically I am competing as a guest lifter so even if I do well compared to others I am not ranked, it is just to get an official total in the good ol' North, visit new OSG and see some familiar faces. Also meet Frank Rothwell, YouTube royalty, I am pretty pleased about that, he will be at the comp. We've been talking on and off for a few years now through the video comments and it would be cool to meet the guy.

The main thing for me is that after roughly 18 months of trying and failing, since I started weightlifting properly, I have finally "fixed" my jerk and I can jerk whatever I clean properly (no rounded back nonsense) and I am very proud of that. It has been really demoralising and pretty much stalled my progress on everything else as I was totally unmotivated to do anything but learn to jerk properly so that's pretty much all I wanted to do, and as a result everything else has pretty much stayed the same for quite some time. Actually one of the reasons I stopped logging as it was basically the same old story week in week out for a long while and I didn't really have a good answer when people asked "why can't you jerk", plus it made me even more demoralised!

Trav helped me immensely from the summer until my last comp, but I knew something was going on technically on the jerk on a very basic level (I can't take side videos so couldn't see the problems) and I slowly lost confidence/faith in myself and, I'm ashamed to say, in what he was having me do. A lot of the stuff he told me and helped me out with I still apply and probably will always, he had a big influence on me as a lifter, can't say enough good things about the man, and he had a huge amount of faith in me and my crackpipe goals which meant a great deal to me. So hopefully I can show him (eventually) things have come together as we talked about!

Anyway, eventually I figured the jerk out through trial and error and various exercises experimenting, all kinds of stuff. Now it is the easiest/simplest of the 3 movements, just took me a little longer than most to "get" it.

I can say that now that chapter is over and after this comp I can move forward with consistent, efficient movements in all lifts without having to think "Am I doing this right, should I try this style, that style" and can plan my training and approach it like a proper lifter.

Tried to send you that picture on Facebook, only to find you'd f**ked off again!

Also tried to buy your ipod, bid a tenner, some s**tcan bid 10.50 and I thought he was going way up into the 20s so I left it, they won it for 10.50!
