Recent training

March 9, 2007

Recent training lifts at WFW include a 135kg double in the snatch by Trey Goodwin, a 105kg snatch by Grant Goodwin.  Many of our younger lifters have set personal records lately, in fact on one day immedietly prior to the Arnold, we had 15 personal records set in one training session on snatch and clean and jerk.   

Goodwin boys…

Trey and Grant Goodwin came in to train today. Trey did 120X2, 125X2, and 130X2 pm snatch, then followed with 140X2, 150X2, and 160X2 on the clean and jerk. One of the better workouts I have ever seen him do. His “little brother” Grant, who isnt so little anymore, started out with (more…)

Caleb Ward did a 120 double in the snatch, then hitting a 130 snatch at the Texas state championships. Rose hit an 85kg Jerk off the rack yesterday, and came VERY CLOSE with 90kg.

Training lately…

January 9, 2007

Its been a while since I updated this and I will probably leave some stuff out.  Best thing to happen in the last few days is Josh Robinett clean and jerking 50kg, a weight he has missed a few times lately.  He followed that up with (more…)

Donny and I got Moppy from DFW airport today, and went immedietly to train.  They both took some light lifts to rest and recuperate so that we could hit it hard in the morning.  Moppy snatched to 110 and clean and jerked to 120, Donny did 5 powersnatches with 130 then powercleaned and jerked 170kg.

Last night Neiman snatched a Personal Record of 30kg, not bad for a girl who just turned 9 years old. It was one of those lifts I wish I had a video of, absolutely perfect. Other noteworthy performances were Blaine Townsend clean and jerking 85kg for 10 singles that were all really solid, and Kyle Lauck clean and jerking 57.5kg for 8 singles that were very solid.

The highlight of the day was Sean Street cleaning 106kg weighing about 67kg. He locked the jerk but was a little off balance and couldnt reel it in. He still has some time left as a schoolage lifter so he COULD still get into the top 3 nationally. He is still chasing a spot on the WFW leader board, personally I think he will win a medal at nationals about the time get gets into our top 3. Taylor Huskisson holds the number 3 spot (more…)

I am writing this Saturday afternoon, Dec 16th on what has to be one of the nicest days I have seen in a LONG time. Summers here in Texas are miserable, but man November and December are SO much nicer than anywhere else I have lived!

Anyway, last night Dylan Hillard had the training hall to himself but made good use of it. He snatched a personal record 58 and squatted 100kg for 5. Tried a 78kg clean and jerk but missed it. (more…)

12/15/05 training

December 15, 2006

Had an early noon session for Sammi, Caleb and Rose. Caleb went light with 100 powersnatch and 130 power clean/power jerk in light of his hopefully big day tomorrow. Evidently training early agreed with Sammi and Rose, because Rose made a 65 personal record snatch, and Sammi squatted 100 for a 5kg PR.
