First Olympic lifting meet
I entetred my first Olympic lifting meet with NWL (part of BWLA) yesterday.
Really enjoyed my day although I placed last in my class.
I planned to get 2 PB's in my lifts and got both. I opened with a 45kg Snatch which I knew I could do with good deep technique. For lifts 2 and 3 I reverted to power snatches and managed 50kg and 55kg. I felt I could have pushed for 60kg but there is always next time.
In the clean and jerk again I used my training pb of 75kg as my opener. I managed that with ease then moved onto 80kg and 85kg for lifts 2 and 3. Again, i feel I could have pushed for 90kg but didnt want to fall on my ass in my first meet.
I have had a quick look of a vid of my lifts and realise my technique needs lots of work. I will work hard to improve for next time
