On Saturday I went to Mytholmroyd in Yorkshire to compete in the Yorkshire and North East Counties Open Weightlifting Championships<\/strong>, officiated by BWLA (the British Weight Lifting Association). There were 6 of us in total from Crossfit<\/a>, including 2 others who were lifting in their debut competition too.<\/p>\n

If you’re read my last post on Olympic Weightlifting warmups<\/a>, you’ll know that I was hoping to qualify for the BWLA British Championships. I needed a total of 175kg to qualify, well I won’t spoil it, here’s the video so you can see what happened.<\/p>\n

I have to say, I’m slightly disappointed, but it goes to show I’m getting close to the 75 and 100kg I need, and I still have the Northern Masters in Feb 2009 to qualify, which is at Mytholmroyd again. Things I need to work on:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Keeping the bar much closer to my legs on the first pull.<\/li>\n
  • Hopefully that will fix my erroneous forward jump.<\/li>\n
  • Keeping my bum down and shoulders up on the first pull, so they both rise together.<\/li>\n
  • Catching both the Snatch and Clean lower in the squat.<\/li>\n
  • Not dipping so far on the jerk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    That lot should keep me going for a few months!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
