Meet Recap

We did Greenwood Athletic Club's "PR Frenzy" this last Saturday the 26th. It was a very loose, training meet, but I think it was good for the kids and fellas.

Matt Barrack put on an easy-going meet and the comraderie was very good.

Some competitors hit: J
ohn (220): 295-155-385
Jim (220/242): 405-315-455
Cody (275): 525-400-505

We lifted as Team Anytime Fitness thanks to the sponsorship by Jeffery Parr out of our home gym.

 So, here it goes.

Christan: looked nervous going in.
Squats: looked awkward
205 opener was solid. In the meet! Video: here.
225 second attempt was a grind.
235 third attempt was SOOOO close

Bench: Warmups looked great
125 opener was easy.
135 second was tough: Video shows
140 third was a no go.

She was pretty upset about everything at this point, so I just left her alone and told her she had to keep at it.

Deadlift: Training had been rough, so I was worried.
Warmups looked great.
Opener: I called for 280, but they loaded to 285. I let it stand WTF? Right? She killed it.
Second: I called a 305 PR. She double clutched. It would have been a red-light in a real meet, but she did it so easily. this was a learning experience.
Third: 320. Three wheels and a two-pence! Here is what happened

Total: 680! Only twenty pounds off of goal. The main thing for this meet was to get her confidence up and I think it was a bog deal for her to shake off her rough squat and bench and pull HUGE. I am so proud of her.

 Goals for July: 275/170/365/800
