So many new things

It's been about two years since I posted anything. It's been a life changing two years I can tell you that much. Let's try to summarize it.
Career: I have been an Electrican for about 2.5years give or take? Still new to many things but learning new things everyday. Making more than I did last year so I am happy about that. I am trying to venture out a little more out of my comfort zone so we will see where that will land me!
Olympic Weightlifting: Due to me leaving my previous job I changed gyms. BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE! Amazing environment and a really tough regime on strength.
Best lifts went from:
Snatch: 102kg to 110kg
Clean and Jerk: 128kg 132kg
I have caught 137kg on a clean but didn't stand up all the way.
Jerk: 142kg.
Front squat: 315lbs up 30lbs
Back squat: has went up 60lbs to 375lbs
Deadlift up by 90lbs 475lbs Max
Alot of changes on my technique. I will try and post videos on here. This will be a good archive of my progress! I will try to write more on my laptop. This is a short post for now. Thanks for reading!

Sacrifices for your sport...

Anyone who has been in a sport knows what it feels like to Sacrifice things for your sport. It sucks... the only thing that makes it worth it is knowing you have improved and all of your hard work paying off. It's hard to stay on track especially if there are more negative. For those who are still going through that now. Keep your head up and stick to your training. It WILL pay off in the long run.

How far i have come.

If I think back about almost 6 months ago I just started Olympic Weightlifting. Ever since then with the help of my coaches i have been making leaps and bounds in the sport! I am very excited and anxious to see where this will take me.
Although i do have bad days its what you do after those bad days that make a difference. I am thankful for all of the opportunity's i have been given.
