first full week of training

First full week of training in like forever.speed bench on Tuesday and squats on Thursday nothing to exciting. Shirted bench on Saturday Barry and I worked technique with 455 but the story of the day was Mary benching 225 for two singles and 230 for a single her previous best was 175 and misses at 185 in her last meet. Just an amazing day. Today we pulled some deads Barry was working with a new suit and had trouble setting up conv doing a couple of singles with 405 then pulled an easy 405 455 sumo Mary pulled in the video 315 x2 raw then put on a loose suit and did 320 and two more singles at 315. I pulled 455 x1 and dropped 495 at the top using a over hand hook grip finished the day with 3 sets of tire flips Mary did 4 and last we did some log lifting, the cleans were a challenge with all the other work we did earlier. all in all a fun day. the you tube site has the log presses

2010 bc championships

So first cpu meet in 5 years It went ok I got a 230kg opener and lifted 240 second but got a technical call, on the third attempt I lifted my head on the way down and didn't even try to press it as I wasn't going to get whites anyway. Barry in this video got a national record with his opener then just went big for his second and third. It was good to see Jeremy coatea sorry Jeremy I'm not sure how to spell your name. He competed in his first meet and struggled with the bench. I'm sure he'll be back stronger than ever with what he learned at this meet
