Wigan said:Not posted in here for a while. Training has been sporadic at best. Had a month off when we had a new arrival in the family, training has been once or twice a week at best, unfortunately. Wrist is knackered, have got an appointment at hospital next week to see if they will operate on it again.

Despite all this, I have been convinced to enter the British Masters in six weeks Grin


Good old Alan, eh? Wink

Good luck matey and congrats on the new arrival.

Will be following with interest...

Can you just turn p and enter or do you need to qualify?

Cheers Jon, Al was having none of it when I said I would probably give it a miss this year, especially as we have two others lifting as well.

New arrival is 4 months old now so not quite so new anymore.

You have to qualify for the British, posting a qualifying total at least 6 weeks in advance. Luckily I did a mate a favour and lifted in a low key comp a few weeks ago and posted a token total that qualified, plus as a defending champion I think I qualify anyway.

If you had lifted at the Northern Masters at weekend you would have a title under your belt mate, shame you didn't do it.

You've got to love Alan. Grin

I would have been embarrassed competing in my present condition, think I managed a 190 total last weekend, which, even if I had won, would have left me feeling nothing but disappointed.

I will get stuck in some time this year though.

I know of a low key friendly that will be held in July, at a Crossfit gym in Stockport. If you fancy it to get some platform experience, I'm sure you would be welcome to lift!!! Wink

637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq		Busy week this week due to various things.

Good news is that a visit to the hospital that operated on my bad wrist two years ago, which is now as bad as ever, has led them to agree to do th op again.

Just have to grin and bear the pain for the time being and hopefully manage a snatch or two at the British in March.
