Terrible performance at a meet but it was fun anyhow =D
Barely made weight because of the positioning of the moon
Because I was missing so many snatches this past couple of weeks I had no confidence and power snatched all my attempts and had a pressout on the last one (not a terrible powersnatch of 55kg though- I would have been happy with it in training). I missed a clean! I never miss a clean! I really need to practice lifting in front of people. My numbers in the end were okay, 4/6 with 52 snatch and 65 C&J, despite terrible lifts. My meet coach said I can snatch 65kg with my pull if I can get some confidence My jerks were better though!

It’s a learning process but yeah it sucks to underperform! Next comp and have faith in your technique!

Jumping back for lifters like Vanev is not inefficient. They still have an “S” pull but the “S” is tilted back a bit. This is very different from lifters who just overpull and have a bar path that looks like a “?”

That isn’t all he did!

Rushed for warm ups as they were running this comp round robin style…and the crossfit guys were smashing through their Sn so that didn’t leave much time for me to warm up!

70
90
105x
Sn
115x
-took 110 in the warm up, gotit
115x
115
CJ arm up
bar work
50
90
110
130x jerk
CJ
135x right arm press out, lowered my starter from 140 to 135…
140 I didn’t raise it up but it was 140 and I couldn’t be bothered to lower it so took it, made it, thank f0ck
153x jerk, should have taken 145…but went for glory, failed miserably on the Jerk, Clean felt crazy heavy…
115/140
poor total…
I think next time I’ll reign in the glory lifts as it wasn’t going to happen, it was early and cold, it just wasn’t going to happen…

I actually burst out laughing at “positioning of the moon” haha. Was this your first competition ever? And was there a short guy there in the 105s who clean and jerked 175? (I’ve got a guess as to what comp it was I think . . . )

Debra’s done at least one or two other competitions if I remember correctly.

No, I only lifted like it was my first one =D It was a bad day for lifting for me.
I can’t confirm that or you’ll be able to look me up
I live in a small village in Quebec and our meets are in the barn…C’est vrai!
Koing, yeah I was hoping to at least attempt 67 or 69 but I’m okay with 65kg this time

Ah, gotcha. Well, remember . . . ah shit, I was gonna put something motivating here about the measure of one’s resolve after a setback but my brain is fried haha. You know what I mean.
And I won’t pry, I can respect one’s need for privacy. Though I will say if you’re in Quebec you could be in a position to come watch nationals this year. And there’s nothing wrong with lifting in a barn. And that’s the last I’ll speak on the subject.

Bro did some jumps yesterday, Chi jump ~ 140cm - YouTube he jumped at least an inch or two higher as well afterwards. Crazy how springy he looks!
He has really come along this year.
71/91 to 88/111
He has set himself 110/130 for end of next year!
His first International in the Tri-Nations in February. He was called for it in Sweden in May/ June but he had exams and couldn’t make it. Really happy for him.
I have to try some jumps tonight! I did a 45 cm jump up my wall at home a little while ago. I measured by putting a post it at my highest reach and then slapped one as high as I could go.
My jerks were better though!
