My plan for this year is to qualify for Nationals, which is in December. Qualifiers are mid-July to mid-November, so I’ll start my competition prep next month (12 week build-up).
Competing in the 69kg class, need 230kg to total, probably going for a 105/125…
Best total to date: 200, so I have some work to do.
Is anybody going to be at the Collegiate Nationals? I will be competing in the 77kg class.
23rd May, Spring Open at Crystal Palace. I’ll be competiting there, along with Team Woking and Team Koing

Yesterday was my first comp at the Colorado St. Open/Championships and I’m hooked. Met a lot of super friendly people.
totaled 165 (70/95) the 95 c&j was a 3kg pr.
Lifted in the Irish Senior Champs on 24/4 @ 97.2kg and did 79/115.
Next comp’s the Ulster open on 29/5. Hoping to do 100/125+ @ 96kg.
I’ve snatched 95kg in training so far, and power cleaned 130kg.

Going to aim for the Northen Open in november, hopefully get a 90/110 by then…hopefully. You ever drift up north Koing?
After the British in July I’ll do the Russian Squat routine for 6/7 weeks so then it’ll be the 2nd/ 3rd week of September so I could do the November comp up North. How far up North are you talkinga bout? Halifax/ Birmingham?
I always do the London Open in the 1st or 2nd week of December.

Thanks! Planning on doing the Rocky Mountain State Games in Colorado Springs 7/31. Shooting for 80/110 - I know its a big jump but what the hell. Hopefully technique work on the full lifts should help add a bunch of kilos - my lifts last weekend were all power snatches and cleans.

It’s not out of the question if your lifts were power versions!
2 guys I’m coaching, beginners to OLifts
Ones gone from 55 to 67kg in about 7-8 weeks in his Snatch, not sure of his C&J but it’s now up to 87kg
Other dude from no Snatch to 65kg and no C&J to 95kg!
You just have to put down the hrs and to be least be strong enough e.g. you won’t C&J your 2RM or 3RM yet, probably more close to your 4-5RM front squat. So shoot for those numbers!

I got Canadian Nationals coming up on May 22nd, so long as I don’t shit the bed I should have a real shot at top 5, maybe top 3 in the 105s.

Somewhere called Mytholmroyd, think it’s near Bradford. Bit of a distance from you though.
