Great weekend spent running seminars @liverpool_wlc & @uolsc.

Thanks for having us! It was a great opportunity for us to help spread some knowledge giving in depth breakdowns of the snatch & CJ technical model. Was good to see some big lifts being hit, thanks to all who attended.

Thanks @slow_mcsnail @lilp_lifts @pr_house_wlc for helping us to get this sorted it's greatly appreciated🫶🏾 by @mrbigfriday

Full comp recap - lift by lift
Snatch #1

Had planned to open at 55kg, but missed my last warm up (53) in the backroom. So I had about a minute to compose myself mentally and to make sure I made it count on the platform.
Definitely let nerves get to me on snatches but made the lift.

Full comp recap - lift by lift
Snatch #2

Went up to 56 for my second attempt - moved much better than the first one.

Full comp recap - lift by lift
Snatch #3

Decided to go to 59kg to try and get a competition PB. Probably the best pull of the day, but couldn’t hold onto it. Think I was a bit surprised to have it over head. The look on my face says it all, gutted to have missed it, but so close I can’t be that mad about it.

Shame you can’t see @s.h.performance and @team.silverback reaction to this miss.

Full comp recap - lift by lift
Clean & jerk #1

Jerks felt really good in warm ups, they’ve come such a long way in the last few months. Anyway, first attempt at 65kg moved fast and looked very easy. Total made, time to have fun.

Clean & jerk #2

Second attempt moved really well too. Bombed out on this weight in April, now moves like a very solid second. Goal is to make this an opening weight next year.

Full comp recap - lift by lift
Clean & jerk #3

Didn’t come all the way to Athens not to attempt PBs, so loaded 71kg for my final attempt. Messed up the clean, and then narrowly missed the jerk. Fully believe I’m capable of the is, just need to make sure I nail the clean.

Not my best total, but took some good attempts at PBs on the platform. I’ll be back for them soon.
