bw: 61.5kg
Snatch: 50kg, 54kg, 57kg (pr+1)
Clean and jerk: 65kg, 70kg (f), 70kg (pr+5kg)
I came 2nd in my weightclass and held a national record for 2 seconds (until it was broken again!)
This is 12kg onto both my competition lifts (45/58 at the Cork Open last October).
The plan for now is to chill out for a few days and be happy with where I am and then get angry and start preparing for the Cork open on October 15th. I reckon I could well do 60 odd kilos in the snatch by then and maybe 80kg in the clean and jerk if my jerk continues to behave. The cleans are fairly easy now so I don't imagine they will be much of a problem.
Some things I'm going to concentrate on are pressing, stretching my hips and ab work. These are things I already do but not very consistently. I'm also going to go back to focusing on volume for awhile rather than intensity. Until about 6 weeks ago, I had been doing 6 doubles at 80% for snatch, clean and jerk and squat and while I found it rather boring and monotonous, it seems to be like money in the bank. When I went on to singles after a few months on the doubles programme, my lifts took a massive jump and I had endless energy.
Below is a photo of my trophy and videos of the lifts. I can't wait until next max week! :)
