I’m not mad at you, just disappointed.

Objective : Olympic Weightlifting

Warm-up : triples, Snatch, 40K, 50K, 55K

Training : singles, Snatch, 60k, 65k, 70K(f)


Snatch, 65K


Snatch, 70K, fail
The first pull (from the ground to the knee) and second pull (from the knee to full extension) were okay. I was a pansy at the 3rd pull (pulling yourself under the bar) and missed the lift.

Notes : The weightlifting class is shifting into the next gear, full movements with weight! I need to get the right shoes. Chuck Taylors are holding me back. My technique is acceptable if I focus very hard. The moment my focus wavers, I revert to my old ways. Like climbing, Olympic Weightlifting continuously provides an opportunity to do your best.
