How Things Went……
OK, the QWA let us Isa lifters hold the Qld U16 & Youth & Junior Championships up here, to help us because of the expense of travel to South East QLD.
Things went smoothly. This is how I went.
Bodyweight: 71.6kg
Snatch: 65kg
70kg X
72.5kg
Clean and Jerk: 85kg
90kg
95kg
My coach was one of the referees so I had very limited time with him to discuss weights and warm ups.
I was very anxious/nervous before we started. I felt like there was a lot on the line for me.
But, like always as soon as I started warm ups and my name was called for my first lift, it was all business.
I felt my technique was almost perfect. As good as I had ever lifted. All my lifts, except my missed 70kg snatch, were as I had invisioned them.
Talking to my coach, after all was done, he said if he had the oppourtunity to coach me properly, I would’ve attempted a 75kg snatch and a 97.5-100kg CJ. Which would’ve given me a total of 172.5-175kg.
Future comps? If I miss out on representing QLD at Nationals in October, I plan on competing at QWA League Round 4 & Masters League Round 4 on September 20.
Goal for Round 4:
Bodyweight: 68kg
Snatch: 80kg
Clean and jerk: 105kg
Total: 185kg
Goal for Nationals:
Bodyweight: 72kg
Snatch: 85kg-90kg
Clean and Jerk: 110kg-115kg
Total: 195kg-205kg
