amazing what a few mm of heel change can do!

Great session man, it looks from the vid that your cleans front squat part you are more upright now, instead of leaning strongly forwards?

STRONG!

Last proper session before the Classic

Clean and Jerk
bar x loads
60 x2
60 x2
60 x2
80 x2
80 x2
100 x1 + 2 jerks
110 x1 + 2 jerks
120 x1 + 2 jerks
130 x1 + 2 jerks
140 x1 + 2 jerks
145 x1
150 x1 nearly right says Alan, not too bad then
145 x1 drop down, more snap says Al, not bad is the verdict

Squat
70 x5
115 x3
160 x3
180 x3
205 x3
new heel on the shoes makes these a lot more comfortable, only wrapped the knees for the 205

And that's it. Might get a light one in on Wednesday, then again might rest up till weekend, see how i feel as the week goes on...

Thanks guys

Boar - you can be forgiven for being distracted by the 'fro, pretty damned impressive it is tooGrin

Joni - the 150 seems to be a dead cert now, still not 100% snappy but getting there. It will be my opener on Saturday so get that in then pull my finger out all being well Wink

Sugden Classic



An absolute brilliant day with lots of excellent lifting. The day was a true credit to Adlington and Sugden. Atmosphere second to none as usual. In fact one lifter who has competed at top international level reckoned the atmosphere was a match for any comp he's lifted in, including the World Champs, praise indeed.

My lifting didn't go according to plan so won't dwell on that, although i came away with a PB deadlift.

Clean and Jerk
150 Pass
160 Fail (missed clean WTF)
160 Fail (missed jerk, oh dear)

Deadlift
240 Pass
250 Pass PB

and left it at that

As i say could have and should have gone better, no excuses, better bext time!!!!!

Enjoyed the company of a good few of the lads after the comp, including our very own jet-setting international friend Mishima, a pleasure. Was driving so had the pleasure of watching Alan, Andy and Mish doign some serious damage to the local supply of Guinness. A good day all round!!!
