Competed for the first time in a couple years this weekend, bodyweight at 103kg
Snatch 116, 123x(tiiiny press out), 126x
Clean and Jerk 140, 147, 155

All things considered, I'm extremely happy with how things went, mostly in the clean and jerk. I haven't even front squatted 155 in recent memory so I'm still not sure how I pulled that off but I'm back over 90% of my all time best and have some hope that I might return to national level competition again this year. Training has mostly sucked for the past couple years, lifting by myself in my backyard in the snow, rain, and heat with an uncooperative body at best so it was extremely cathartic to finally throw some decent weight overhead.

I saw the lifts. C&J was really cool. Second snatch was just unlucky, I saw the press-out, but still pretty strict from the judges. Still, if you want to compete on the national level again, then it's probably good to stay sharp.

Really hope you can get back to where you were! As far as this forum is concerned, you are still the man

Tell me about uncooperative bodies, my shoulder/biceps tendon is a real asshole. I manage, but fun is different.

Ate too much white flour bread, got sore throat from celiac gluten intolerance. Be careful not to overindulge that stuff! If you're like me probably don't have any.

Whenever I see you posting here, I feel young again. So 2011.
