What are you going to open with? 110/140? Cheers Mish considering the lack of reasonable build up to this, i'll be opening with a conservative 105/135 and aim for six out of six with 5k jumps, all being well. Not expecting great things but if i can get six lifts in i'll be happy. Question is have i got enough time to grow a Mish-esque beard??? | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14379 posts | f**ked it off as a stupid idea. Opted for the shaven look which seems to suit, probably as I have a splendidly shaped head. I will however by sporting a 'Pizz' for the first night of the Amsterdam trip, as I hope, will everyone else on the trip | ||

pink french superstar beard Member 26, 4030 posts SQ 190, BP 0, DL 205395.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | LOL! A "Pizz" would be awesome! I dont expect anyone to know about this guy as he cant possibly be known outside of france, but believe me he was awesome, your kind of humour maybe! Professor Choron!

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 22.11.2009 @ 09:37 AM by Wigan b]Saturday 21 November 2009Northern Open Weighed in at 111.0k 34 Lifters today, so a busy one. Find out I'm up against the current British Masters 2, 105+ Champion (my age and my weight). Bring it on!! Snatch Warm up goes well, no aches no pains, moving reasonably well. Britsh Champ (BC) opens at 95 1st attempt - 100 easy, tactics are being played already. Littler is in charge of this side of things so no problems BC takes 102 - nice lift 2nd attempt - 107 a beauty BC takes 110 - just a pull with it 3rd attempt - 112 flew up but came down in front. Lack of concentration!! Finish the snatch 5k ahead and the light man. Going into the clean and jerk, he needs to outlift me by 6k Clean and Jerk BC comes out at 130 1st attempt - 135 comfy humphrie 2nd attempt - 140 lovely BC comes out for 141, not that it will change the standings - fails 3rd attempt - 145 Fail easy clean, lost concentration and failed jerk!! BC tries 146 for the win - gutsy attempt but FAIL Result - 1st Place Bonus to then find out that I've also placed 3rd overall based on Sinclair points and get a cheque for 50 notes!!!!! WTF???? Really enjoyed it. Second time back on an competitive platform since 1992, and got into a bit of a battle, excellent. A lot of postives to take from today. Only decided to do this comp 3 weeks ago, so not had much of a build up, and what sessions i've spqueezed in havent been the greatest. All came good on the day, and although didnt get the weights I would've liked, I came out on top in a bit of a head to head, and the lifts i failed were due to lack of concentration/discipline and not 'cos they were too heavy. Onwards and upwards... Shame of the whole thing is that a fat 41 year old can win the Supers class in the Northern Open with a paultry 140 clean and jerk, and worse still place third over all. This isnt a good reflection of our beautiful sport, but I enjoyed it and walked away with some pound notes, go figure!!! | ||
