Day #43-45 Competition, Goals, Challenge!

Competition went pretty well. Considering I missed a couple of lifts, weird thing Is I felt a little tired because I think I didn't eat enough before hand. Oh well live and learn I suppose. New goals are to increase my lean body mass and get stronger. I NEED to have my numbers go up. My weight is fine and everything I just need to stay clean in my eating. Goals are to get my back squat up and keep my form and back strong. Those are huge in order to lift more efficiently.

Better training day, Snatches and Clean And Jerks.

Today was a great day for training although it was pouring out side. My back arch is getting better and I am no longer rounding my back on the catch *for the most part*. I just need to push a little bit longer on the Snatch and Cleans and it will look better. So far so good though as i am training for multiple Personal Records this next Competition. 100kg Snatch and 125kg Clean and Jerk. Only time will tell!

Olympic Weightlifting Training

Just doing some lifts in training, Snatches at 67kg, Cleans at 90kg, Clean pulls at about 105kg. Working hard on the technique and back arch which is the areas I need to cover in order to make improvements on my lifts.

Snatching 95kg over 200lbs!!!

Here is one of the action shots of one of the comps i was in. I love it! It's all of my months of training broken down into one simple picture. This is why i love this sport. Raw power, explosiveness, and determination all in one picture. :D

Two a day training.

Well today i started my two a day training. Its not like its body building but its more for purpose.
For Olympic lifting you have to have strong lats, core, shoulders, and back. Those are the other main factors besides the obvious leg strength needed. So my coach wrote a workout for me to strengthen those areas i need to be stronger at. Feels good to be in the gym twice a day.
