Weightlifting Problems

Somehow power snatched 105kg from the blocks. Still having troubles with snatching 100kg from the ground

Somehow able to power snatch 105kg from blocks. Still have issues snatching this from the floor. Need to work on my third pull/pull under.

I need to step up my game more

I am become doge. The wow of worlds.

Finally, a snatch PR from the ground of 100kg. Yes I know it's an illegal lift. But a PR is a PR.

So happy.

Absolutely brutal elbow.

Empty gym today, so filmed another training session! Today is working on the top part of my pull and working the shoulders. Clean grip snatch, power clean and jerk, snatch grip behind the neck press, Romanian deadlift, and other shoulder accessory work.

Finally in the triple digits now!!!

Considering the weightlifter in the video was a professional and got to 73, I’m pretty happy with my results.

These have been to the Pan Am Games, Junior World Championships, and Commonwealth games, never mind the countless number of Nationals.

Coach made me squat the following scheme: 20kg x 15 30kg x 14 40kg x 13 Etc... I failed at 130kg x 5 And carried on with 140kg x 2 and 150kg x 1 There is no god.

Alright guys, gonna be narcissistic and post a shameless selfie. Looking surprisingly shredded as I was trying to make weight for nationals last week.

All you Olympic Weightlifters out there knows how awesome this feels.

Oh well :\

Also, having competed against an Olympian, Francis Luna-Grenier, and ranking 8 below him is also an exciting and humbling experience.
