Competition snatch pb and total pb. Won the 69s :eek:. 246 sinclair. 250 is kind of a goal, so yeah that's good. But being in the 69s wasn't how I thought I'd reach it.

Felt Thursdays squats on the CJ, there was nothing left. Cleaned it, jerked it but with a bit of arm wobble for no lift. Confident enough of 105 for Cork.

Check this barpath yo!

Snatches were handy, could have done more sets. Good.

Jerk continues to be atrocious. It's not me, it just is. Bad.

Yeah you better. Swanning off, having holidays and sh1t. What kind of weightlifter are you? You're supposed to stay in the gym brooding over the bar.

All time and competition pbs. Got a medal too.

DCU came 5th as a club I think and all the lads hit pbs. Happy days.

I'm pretty happy overall. That's a 10kg improvement in my comp total at my lowest bodyweight. Pretty big jump in my sinclair over the last year too. 250 was the goal this year. I know I always say it but getting up 77kg is the goal now along with breaking 200kg.

Well done!!!
