COMP RECAP - FIEN BONAVENTURE 🌍

470 KG TOTAL | +27.5 KG TOTAL PB 🚀

A massive 470 kg total for Fien in her weight class, adding 27.5 kg to her previous competition best! And with a strong final deadlift, we managed to secure our spot at Europeans! 🇪🇺

SQUAT - 170 KG

Squats were generally moving really well throughout prep. We hit multiple volume PRs during the block, including a massive 172.5 kg double in the previous training block.

On meet day, we secured 170 kg and came incredibly close to 175 kg. Unfortunately, the bar started rolling forward on her back, something Fien hadn’t experienced in training before.

Since then, we’ve slightly adjusted her bar placement to create a tighter, more stable position and reduce the chance of this happening again.

BENCH - 95 KG

Bench was absolutely flying after Nationals. We hit an easy 100 kg and followed that up with a pretty smooth 101 kg in the next block.

A big part of this progress came from increasing Fien’s exposure to heavier loads. However, over time, this approach started to come at a cost. Small aches and pains began popping up, and her confidence under the bar gradually decreased.

Despite having lifted more in training, 95 kg was still a big win considering how bench was moving in the final weeks leading into Worlds.

DEADLIFT - 205 KG 😈

And finally, Fien’s favourite lift… DEADLIFTS!

Deadlift progress has been incredible since Europeans last year, and interestingly, we haven’t made any drastic changes to the programming.

The biggest adjustment was how we approached our back-down work.

Instead of using traditional lower-intensity back-down sets on the primary day, I decided to push the intensity higher while increasing the number of sets and keeping reps relatively low.

This allowed us to accumulate enough relative training volume while maintaining a higher specificity to the heavier loads we wanted to move on the platform.

And it seems this approach has paid off massively, showing in a comfortable 5kg comp pr!

Overall a great comp for Fien
Onto the next 😈🇪🇺

Failed sooo many heavy pulls the last year so happy to hit one for a new flemish record 🙂‍↕️. Don’t really care about regional records but i guess it’s my first record and my first international medal.

205kg x 3. Echt insane, zeker na vorige blok mijn comp PR te hebben gefaald en de blok daarvoor ook 200kg x 3 te hebben gefaald. Nooit meer deadliften zonder slaap en eten 😭
