Best night of lifting ever:)
So last week was a real heavy week of lifting which included:
heavy snatches (which felt great doing working sets at 55kg) and max Jerks from the rack (which although I was still finishing way out infront atleast I was finally getting power from my legs) on Tuesday
heavy clean and jerks (plan was to do working setsat 75kg but had to bump it down to 72kg because 75 was a little too ugly for dans liking) and heavy high hang power snachtes on Wednesday
Heavy snatches (3 sets at 55kg and then 1 at 57kg-which counted but was very ugly) and heavy clean and jerks (plan was to do 3 sets at 75kg and then 1 at 78kg, but they were too ugly and I couldnt even do a 75kg clean so we bumped it down to 3 ugly sets at 72kg) so not a good night at all.
I went home and spent 10 hours over the next 2 days watching olifting on the internet and then tonight… had the best night ever not missing a single lift on my way to a pretty max snatch and max clean and jerk (jerks felt better than they have ever felt before-I was even going in straight lines 
.
Now the rest of the week and next week will be nice and light to give my body a chance to recover for the competition in surrey on the 23rd.
Hope you’ve all been enjoying watching the olympics. I have another late night planned watching Christine Girard lift from 12:30-2am this morning!
did you watch the 63kg women’s B class Kel? It was touching to watch the woman from Bolivia lift first with all her targets below anyone else’s start weight … oh she looked so upset when she missed her 3rd snatch!
was not so cool watching the British girl fuck up her back though … gah … it’s just sport … you only get one spine that you will have to live with forever … take care of it!
Ya, I’m watching it right now.
I hate seeing people get inured. I hope for her she’s able to stretch it out and do the Clean and jerks, but I think she’s lowered her clean and jerk opening lift to just try and get a total in, because I can lift what she is opening with.(nbc.com/olympics has live results with the opening lifts).
-Natalie wolfolk did real well though-she’s engaged to Casey Burgener. And I like how she is so smile
I would have a good head to head battle with the bolivia girl. Even though she looked disappointed with her missed snatch and her missed clean and jerk going 4 for 7 isnt to shabby at all. Means she was around her PB for both,
I couldnt believe the british girl attempted a second clean and jerk. you could see the pain all over her face after the first one. As much as it is the olympics, she’s no where near meddle contention and needs to make sure she doesnt screw herself up for good. Something about throwing 200lbs over your head can’t be to smart on a screwed up back.
Kelly’s last blog post..Best night of lifting ever:)
ack … that was fuked up … why are those people cheering … I hope she is able to recover and still compete again … but watching that I have my doubts. thumbs down. That is one of many things that I really dislike about the Olympics … that people push (or are pushed) through injuries that could leave them crippled. Sports in general do not come with disability plans.
Natalie is doing great and looking so cheerful it is infectious … who wouldn’t want to Olift watching her do it?
