Kansas State Championships

I waited too long to give a detailed lift by lift commentary of Kansas State…  but a few of the things which stood out to me are as follows:

Rose went 6 for 6 with big PR’s.  She looked better on the platform than I have ever seen her.  Trey is back, and started his comeback with a really nice 135kg snatch.  Our two first meet lifters both really looked good.  James Zotz and Scotty Beauchamp both lifted extremely well in their first meet.  Neiman continues to look SO MUCH better than an 8 year old should.

Overall the team did well.  I think that out of 15 lifters who went to the meet, 14 of them set new personal records, and the one who didnt is right in the middle of football season and had a good excuse.  Over half our lifters went 6 for 6, and not with little conservative weights, but 6 for 6 while beating old PR’s.

I couldn’t be happier.

Training lately

Its been a wild couple of days. Caleb powerjerked 160kg, huge PR. Also a 155 clean, 115 powersnatch, 115 snatch for a double… the list seems to go on and on. Rose snatched 61 and it was a pretty lift. Many, many squat PR’s. Neiman snatched 27kg, not bad for an 8 year old girl! William clean and jerked 15kg, not bad for a 5 year old boy! Rose cleaned 82 two times Monday… locked the jerk both times but couldnt hold them. She also squatted 100kg for 5 sets of 5… pretty good squat for a tall skinny girl!
