Teabagger for hire Member 54, 237 posts | Congratulations. Valerie Ritchie from the NW has also been picked for the 4 nations. Next time someone asks youwhat team you lift for you can say England. The 4 nations is a great forum for new PL talent. They will keep an eye on you for future outings for the British squad. Stay healthy. | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Thanks Joni Aye 15kg from 85 to 100 was tough but good to get 100kg because it makes my more confident about getting at the comp... still not so confident about 15kg jump on the ohter hand I think 100kg is definitely there! Hmmmmmm sooo hard to know! | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Thanks Rob - was a relief to get 100kg up - it is only the second time I have managed 100kg squat and the first time was nowhere as deep as yesterday. I really want 100kg at the comp so this was a good confidence booster. | ||
