Not too bad, wrist is a complete f**ker on the snatches so looks like the operation i had on it last year was a waste of time, although it is only massively painful when i drop the weight from overhead?? Small mercies..

Not sure how long my enthusiasm for posting my training will last.
How is your training going? Closing in on that 100 snatch yet? You planning on lifting in the British Masters next year?


Snatched 92.5kg the other week. I train in half the garage with a bent bar and a power rack approx 2 foot behind and a hyperextension bench then wall a couple of feet infront - I'd like to think in better conditions I might get near to 100kg although an embarasing lack of strength (115kg is about the max I can stand up with on clean) will hold me back.

Would like to do the masters but it costs me approx £500 to get off the Islands for a weekend so I'll need to see whether the dates fit in with other things

Northern Open - 26 November

Weighed in at 9:30. Found out there was 50+ names down to lift, six groups.

Far too many lifters for a one platform one day comp. By 3pm everyone still left to lift, referees, MC and loaders all look like they have lost interest.

Knew i had to leave by 19:15 in time to pick up my boy from his mates as previously agreed..

My group finally started lifting at gone 6. I've lost interest by this stage and know it is unlikely I'll have time to do both snatch and jerk as there are 14 in my group Unhappy

Snatch
Warm up went ok, but i have one eye on the clock..
Attempts:
1 - 95 very easy as it should be.
2 - 100 F, very light flew up but slightly behind it.
3 - 100 F, as above Angry
Idiot

Quick check of the clock and realise i'm not going to be able to stay to lift in the C&J. Check scoreboard and reduce my C&J opener to be one of the first on to get a token lift in to make a total and go home.

Clean and Jerk
Warm consisted of a couple of power cleans and split jerks with 80k.
Attempts:
1- 100 - ooh it was really easy

Home!!!

All in all the most frustrating and disapointing day I have had in a while. Not in any way knocking the organisation or the running of the comp as Ed and Paul did a splendid job as ever, it's just that they ended up with a massive amount of entries. What they perhaps should have done is let people know of the numbers, and offered two weigh-ins so the heavier lads could have turned up mid-afternoon. And the likes of me made arrangements to allow for not getting home till getting on for 9pm..

There was also a lot of novice lifters. The day could have been split into an A and B standard am and pm..

50+ lifters on one platform sounds a tad too many, they should have thought of rooms and prossies at least!Wink

Problem is they let far too many foreigners lift, some of them killed the €! Should have been left open for "proper europeans" me thinks!Grin

You're probably right mate, the place has never been the same since they had a bearded Frenchman lifting there!!! Wink
