New lifter to Golift is Mr Steven Hyde, an 18 year old monster. He is a 90kg rugby player but is putting in his fair share of lifting session in the off-season. Currently a 92/120 lifter but he has plenty more in the tank, as he his getting stronger at present with each session. Last night he was knackered but still hit 90/110. He was easily throwing up 120 cleans but his back not strong enough in the catch. The importance of squats is emphasised again for all athletes.
Neil had another session heading towards an 80kg snatch before his season kicks in fully. He hit 77kg which is a PB, and had an easy 102kg CJ before he had to head off for a coaching session. He has the strength and technique to hit 80/110 at the moment but his mind takes over on too many occasions. His strength work gives him a lot of confidence, so he'll keep squatting and pulling for next few weeks and the scores will come.
Robbie hit 80/110 with many misses on 85 snatch. With a new PB snatch of 84kg on Saturday, the weights will continue to go up with refining technique and postural control. 115kg CJ was a step too far last night after lifting for over 2 hours, so maybe not be 100% conditioned for big lifting sessions. More work required on strength but good to see the weights continuing to grow for all 3 of us.
