Not a massive turn out, about a dozen lifters but a good little do, and the first time I've set foot on a competitive platform in 17 years. Had to borrow a lifting suit which was a bit snug, but felt lovely and I'm sure looked even better. Venue was very very hot... Snatch 1st attempt: 110 FAIL - pathetic 2nd attempt: 110 - silly it was so easy 3rd attempt: 120 - FAIL - should never have missed it Clean and Jerk 1st: 140 - took a step forward on the clean recovery??? Easy jerk 2nd: 145 - easy clean, slightly ropey jerk 3rd: 150 - nicest lift i've done in a while, was good for 5-10k more Snatches were s**t, as confirmed in Alan's own words. If i had done the 110 first time i'm fairly sure the 115 and 120 that would have followed would have gone. Clean and jerks got better as they went on, the last one was by far the best of the three. Ignoring the silliness of the snatch, a lot to be pleased about. Knees felt fine throughout, and considering the limited training i've had (3 sessions on each lift) i've got to be happy with the performance. Lifting was followed by a curry, and then after a quick shower it was out on the town. Highlights of the night: LittleA pissing in a doorway as 3 riot vans screech to a halt 10 yards away and 20 copper pile out for a fracas at the pub across the road. Me Alan and Nat nonchalantly stand in front of him to shield him from view and save him an 80 quid fine, as a stream of piss flowed across the pavement.. Getting in a nightclub, wandering over to the bar and looking round to see Alan being escorted off the premises by one of the bouncers. Turned out to be a misunderstanding as Alan hadnt realised he had to pay to get in  All in all a very enjoyable weekend!!! Conversations were had with Alan regarding the possibility of me getting on the competitive platform again perhaps!?!?!!?..... | ||

How did the other lifters do? What kind of rowdy bunch was this? It was a fairly low key affair to be honest mate. A few relatively novice lifters, a couple of current decent junior lifters and a few of us old crocks From memory: Mr Littler (Masters 1)95k 140 - 172.5 Nat Cooper (Masters 2) 120k 130 Power Snatch - 155 power clean and jerk Richard Williams (Junior) 85k 125 - 145 Paul Supple (Masters 1) 90k - 130 - 140 power clean + power jerk Enjoyed it | ||

Snatch bar x loads 50 x3 50 x3 70 x3 90 x3 100 x3 110 x3 Three beauties they were too, the last being especially sexy!!!  These had me sweating like a bas***d, almost felt like cardio!!! Power Snatch from blocks 50 x3 70 x3 90 x3 Incline Smith machine up to 90 x5, x5, x5, then 80 x10 Joe squatted extremely well tonight, had a good chin wag with him and DrRick then off home, stopping for a bottle or wine for Mrs W on the way, i think she has plans.... more f**kin cardio!!!! | ||
