Ballsy, ballsy showing yesterday mate.

As you said, a few things didnt go to plan, but that was probably more down to the conditions and pace of the comp than anything else!

One things for sure, you'll be back Grin

Basic strength helps me most rather than crazy event focus.

Just an idea buddy, train like an oly lifter 4 times a week, covers your fun and not feeling f**ked all the time wants for your next few weeks.
Snatch, clean, jerk, squat, pull every sess!

nice one man Grin I knew you were ready though, your base strength is through the roof and everything else is just details.

When you fix your technical issues with overhead you will be laughing mate! And they are technical - pressing strength is beastly!

Yes, and it didn't work Wink

You've done plenty of tests of strength to take advantage of basic weights as well as powerful Olympic lifts of power snatches etc

Just dont miss out the actual basic strength training that will transfer well to sm

Cgbp front squats some arm work presses sldl

Joni .. Can I just say that I think you gave a brave performance on Sunday mate and I think you should be proud of yourself just for entering alone ., if I think in caparison of a comp with maybe a 160kg log and 200kg Stone for reps (equal P.B,s) then I don't think I'd have the balls to put the entry form in.

But despite Sunday I do think you are extremely capable of qualifying for ESM u105 kg at Lancaster ... Just keep going and training hard like you do and I'm positive you'll do really well in this one ..

Sure I'll see you down the gym soon ..

thanks for the support Mark! I want to make sure I dont have to skip comps, or struggle in them like on sunday just because of some elementary weights. 130 log and 280 deadlift are pretty much minimal in 105 scene if you want to do any damage, so those are the ones i want to focus on.

And squatting.

And explosiveness.

And...

But luckily its seems like I have my panel of scientific advisors ready already Grin

Focus on squat deadlift and jerk and all the rest will fall into place Im sure of it.
280dl and 130 log for YOU would put you in a great position in comps, better than most with that level of strength through your intangibles and experience.

I personally dont think there is much wrong with what you do now

There is no shame in getting beat by 9 beasts IMO

I think year on year you are progressing, and thats all that matters
