march 26, 2016 - midwest open

Meet at Force Weightlifting in Bloomington (this time coached by Dan German of Liftlab)

75 kg class, weighed in at 74.1 kg

Snatch
attempt 1 - 52 kg 114.4 lb
attempt 2 - 55 kg 121 lb
attempt 3 - 60 kg (1 kg/2 lb all-time PR) 132 lb

Clean and jerk
attempt 1 - 72 kg 158.4 lb
attempt 2 - 77 kg 169.4 lb
attempt 3 - 85 kg (would have been a 1 kg clean PR. missed the clean, caught it barely too far forward.) 187 lb

Meet total 137 kg - 6 kg meet PR and both lifts were meet PRs.

A few good things happened here, not the least of which was feeling how close 187 was for the clean. Need to focus on bringing my elbows back so that the bar stays closer to my body. Still looking to qualify for Univ. Nationals, and for that I'll need a 150 kg total in the 69 kg weight class, or a 155 kg total in the 75 kg weight class. If I really buckle down on the diet, I think 69 is possible for me. The lifts at that weight class seem much more achievable as well - 64 kg snatch and 86 kg clean and jerk.

Indiana State Weightlifting Meet

Weigh in 67.7kg @ 4 pm

Snatch attempts (3/3)

1 - 50kg (110#) power snatch

2 - 53kg (116#) power snatch

3 - 55kg (121#) power snatch, PR

Clean and jerk attempts (2/3)

1 - 72kg (158#) squat clean, split jerk

2 - 76kg (167#) squat clean, missed the split jerk to the side.. hips not equal

3 - 76kg (167#) power clean PR, split jerk

Total - 131kg (7kg PR) 

2nd place in 69kg weight division. 1st place got 131kg total as well, but weighed 67.5kg.

Split jerks were ugly, really off balance because I was compensating for some shoulder pain. Didn't plan on power snatching any, but that's what it ended up being. Goals were 56kg snatch, 80kg C&J, so I missed that mark a bit. Overall pleased.
