Bodyweight rose to a hefty 52.5kg, followed my macros for 2days 115g Protein, 225g Carbs, 48g fat and bodyweight is back down to 51.3kg:rolleyes::rolleyes: Looking forward to checking in with the nutritionist person next week and seeing if they give me even MOAR carbs :pac::pac:...that or I lost a heap load of muscle:eek::eek:

Its been a while:eek:

Snapshot of the last year:

Nationals 2017- Feb
46kg/ 49kgx/ 49kgx/ 63kg/65kg/68kgx
Feet just got stuck on the Snatches and got called on a pressout for my last jerk. 2nd place finish but very disappointed.

Munsters- April
48kg/ 50kg/ 52kgx 52kg was very close
65kg/ 68kg/ 70kg
Lifting felt great

Mullingar Open- June
48kg/ 50kgx/ 51kg
65kg/ 68kg/ 71kg
Lifting felt great

Leinster Open - July
48kg/ 50kg/ 52kg
66kg/ 69kg/ 71kgx

Club Championships -Sept
48kg/50kg/ 52kg
63kg/ 66kg/ 69kg
Wasn't feeling great so we opened light. Got 6 for 6 and my team placed 3rd.

Also competed in 3 crossfit competitions

Capital games Aug- partner crossfit comp
Great craic but we were out of our depth skills wise.
One of my workouts was a 6min AMRAP of
6 chest to bar pullups
40 double unders
Got 4 rounds, 6 chest to bars and 36 double unders...hilarious cos I didn't know how to do kipping chest to bars:pac::pac::pac: so just did all singles...turns out slow and steady is pretty good though and finished pretty good in that workout.

also had a 6min max snatch + 2OHS
Worked up to 52.5kg

Filthy 150- Oct
4 weeks before the Filthy 150 I got a team ticket and assembled a team of non crossfitters:pac::pac::pac:

We had an amazing time and finished 13th out of 75 in the intermediate category!! No idea how!! Definitely caught the crossfit bug.

Inhouse Comp- Nov
Came 2nd in the Weightlifting Comp
Tied 2nd in the Crossfit Comp..so we had a tiebreaker of 1min max cals on the assault bike and I won that.
Overall came 2nd
