Beautiful sunrise this morning to celebrate last night's PBs in barbell club. 110% cleans and 106% snatches were earned after getting over some mental barriers. . Hopefully that's unlocked a bunch more noob gains in tomorrow night's class. I'll get some footage of at least equalling these new bests. . #belfastbarbellclub #rcfni #snatches #cleans #cleanandjerk #olylifts #olympiclifting #maxout (at Reebok CrossFit Northern Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrkF0DBBPDF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ctlkmly7ds4m

A great Sunday at #rcfni getting some #belfastbarbellclub gains in. Power cleans, back squats, and quality technique practice time. . Lost focus for a split second and squished my beard. It's fine, just frightened. Also yes I'm very aware that the squats weren't below parallel but this was about an hour in and I was cooked. Also nobody corrected me 😝. . #barbell #olympiclifting #olylifts #cleanandjerk #squats #backsquat #beard #belfast #strongman (at Reebok CrossFit Northern Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXeFGhBexX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eeub3bcx3m5y

More snatches last night with a target of 95%. I'm not very good at math and put 101% on instead but it worked! A sneaky 1kg pb teaser ahead of next week's 1rm sessions. . Bench presses before the class and curls after. I'm feeling pretty good today though, must be the full moon 🌒 . #snatches #olylifts #olympiclifting #rcfni #belfastbarbellclub (at Reebok CrossFit Northern Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUSh-RFjyT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cxjfk1oispvh

Another great night at the barbell club with some 5x(1+3) clean and 3s jerk holds. Hard work but feeling good. My elbow much better tonight after a half hour stretch and warmup session purely for the armies. I think the Voodoo floss is working too, need to do more of that. . Think the boss would mind if we climbed up and changed the gym logo? Nah. . #belfastbarbellclub #cleanandjerk #cleanandjerknojerk #rcfni #tendonitis #tendinitis (at Belfast)

Awesome competition today from the @belfastbarbellclub crew at @rcfni. Lots of PBs were smashed, well done to everyone involved! 💪🏋️👌 . I even got a little medal 😎. Photos of my lifts coming later. . #belfastbarbellclub #rcfni #cleanandjerk #snatch #snatches #olympiclifting #olylifts #weightlifting #warm #inhouseweightliftingmeet (at Reebok CrossFit Northern Ireland)

Legitimately melting today, perhaps generating more heat was a bad idea? . #rcfni #snatch #snatches #cleanandjerk #olympiclifting #belfastbarbellclub (at Reebok CrossFit Northern Ireland)

Max out night before the competition! New PB on snatch and back squat, equaled my PB on clean and jerk. Arm was complaining the entire time but what does it know? . Bonus video of my car flower giving it stacks to cheer us on. . #olympiclifting #olylifts #squat #backsquat #squats #backsquats #snatch #snatches #cleanandpress #cleanandjerk #cleanandjerknojerk #pb #rcfni #belfastbarbellclub #carflower (at Reebok CrossFit Northern Ireland)

Z-Presses are strange; not having your lower half to stabilise and help you press weight makes one hell of a difference. It works the core, and let's you focus on your shoulder muscle development. If you don't brace, your going over backwards! . Here's a little video from last night. . #zpress #seatedpress #strongman #strongmanrevolution #rcfni
