The official olympic weightlifter of SB (juniors) Member 495, 3531 posts SQ 201, BP 137.5, DL 200538.5 kgs @ 69kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 01.05.2012 @ 04:43 AM by shaunclegg its late but i've had no time to put anything up n my arse has been busy also my body-clock is all wrong after the celebratory "drink" afterwards so anyway here's my write up try your best to ignore spelling mistakes as im not much of a "proof-read" guy snatch warm up 20/5 20/5 40/3 60/1 60/1 60/1 60/1 60/1 70/1 80/1 90/1 100/1 105/1 110/1 all perfect ^^ 1st Attmept 115 came out overly confident maybe the warm up went to well, found my grip on the bar waited for the 30 second buzzer, as it went of i resumed to take my 6-12 deep breathes before looking up and pulling looked up i saw a nut at maybe 60 degrees pulled bent armed short pulled to death was out in front dropped it down to the floor, it felt light i just did EVERYTHING wrong.. nerves? maybe... under-confident? doubtful. http://www.dartfish.tv/Presenter.aspx?CR=p10150c25329m1064011#... 2nd attempt 115 came out ALOT more aggressive maybe TOO aggressive had abit of a slap before i came out i really just wanted to get it boxed off so i could get 120-122 on the bar a weight that is actually a legitimate challenge the barbell felt so light but i just could do what i wanted with it again waited for the 30 sec buzzer pulled with bent f**king arms hit it too low not at hips went under too fast put it behind my head stood with it way forward and well... watch the video... nearly had a criminal record for killing 2 refs..... 3rd attempt 115 at this point i was absolutely s**tting myself i had in my own way lost my head i WANTED to lift it but it was in my head that i couldn't no matter what i did i kept bent arming it last second which made it go forward i couldn't f**king control myself and it was infuriating i knew if i didn't get it my olympic dreams WERE OVER! this was my last chance to qualify my last chance to get to the british. i already knew what it was worth and i thought "i probably wont be able to do the B-standard anyways lets just do this so you dont look like a complete worthless t**t" i knew my arms were gonna bend with the pressure and well.... http://www.dartfish.tv/Presenter.aspx?CR=p10150c25329m1064011#... some how it just lands in the perfect place and i stand out easily hold it DONE.. walk off not even on the same planet.. i was happy.. beleive me I WAS HAPPY i just couldn't pull any kind of emotion together at the time... was... weird. after standing outside smoking 3 fags at my nerves end i returned back into the warm up for clean and jerk 70/1 70/1 70/1 110/1 120/1 130/1 140/1 1st attempt 145kg after the snatch i knew i had a long way to go now i was expecting ATLEAST 122 to help me go out for the 145kg cj which would give me a B standard at 69kg i knew i was having a f**kING MARE most i'de done in training prior to this was 150kg and it was a good while ago i'de jerked massive but legs were GONE plus this comp was only 1 hour after i weighed in i was still dehydrated still hungry n was passing out in the warm up but i came out collected knew i needed this to first n foremost get me to the olympic qualifier (british seniors) and secondly hopefully put me on track for the B standard that i DESPERATELY need! so came out desperate... http://www.dartfish.tv/Presenter.aspx?CR=p10150c25329m1064011#... my hips went backward abit on standing up with the clean but still stood up easy n the jerk... well... the jerk was "okay" to say the VERY LEAST haha 2nd attempt 152kg this weight held many a significance it was worth 4 British records under 20 and under 23 british CJ records and under 20 and under 23 total records at the same time it was also what i needed for the B standard... i KNEW this was going to be VERY HARD i knew the clean would crush me i knew people in the crowd would doubt it even in my own head i though "this is gonna be a BIG ask for how i'm feeling" but i NEEDED it desperately... so... i gave it my all.... http://www.dartfish.tv/Presenter.aspx?CR=p10150c25329m1064011#... the 12 second video does not give it justice... i pulled it felt like i was pulling a bull from riding a cow it was so heavy i clipped my hip with it it floated for what like felt for an inch and a half i racked in my back rounded, i stood as fast as i could back rounded to f**k holding on for dear life stood up finally flicked the bar up and my grip out slightly to make the jerk 1% easy getting my breath was like blood from a stone dipped it was heavy drove back up it was heavy grunted at my feet slammed behinde and infront of it core was on fire wrist felt like it was going to explode elbows flickering in and out of being locked out how i got it f**k KNOWS refs were kind thats fair to say but i got it left it there i was SPENT! bw 68.5kg sn 115kg cj 152kg total 267kg olympic B standard 1st place best lifter jobs a good un.. hope you enjoyed the read and vids soz for grammar and spelling.. clegg junior. xx | ||
