    Saturday 22nd of March- Womens Open :)

    Had a savage day at yesterdays competition. Surrounded by savage friends and the comp went in my favour :)

    Weighed in at 55.2kg

    Snatches
    41kg/43kg/44kg
    Stayed reserved in the snatches to get the confidence up in hitting all my lifts

    Clean and Jerks
    50kg/53kg/55kgx Was lazy on the 55kg jerk and didn't lock out the arms.

    Really happy with todays results. We changed the game plan a bit after the last competition and I actually hit my openers on the warmup platform before going onto the competition platform and repeating them. Going to do this for the next while until I feel confident enough to hit them first time around.

    Here's a few snippets of how it went..forgot to ask anyone to take videos. But peeps videoed 4 outta 6 of them :):)


    So unbelieveable happy!

    Saturday 26th of April
    Weighed in way heavier than usual but still made weight..phew! 57.4kg
    No more easter eggs from now on:o

    Snatches
    42, 45x, 45x
    Yanked the first 45 off the ground too quick and with the second I reverted to old habits of extending back instead of up.
    Not too disappointed..first time opening at 42, and first time trying 45kg on the platform.

    Clean and Jerks
    50kg/ 53kg/56kg :D:D
    That was my first time EVER, doing full cleans on the platform instead of accidental powers. So, so, SO proud of myself!! 56kg was a comp PB too and ridiculously easy.

    Really happy with the day. I'm attempting weights on the platform that I wouldnt have dreamt doing 6mths ago...I also got to be the announcer for the last 2 groups of the day :D:D
