More Competitions

Crystal Palace weightlifting spring open is this weekend and with the championships only 10 days ago I will certainly not be training hard for it - more treating it as a training session. Still looking for a good total and an increase in the last one to keep things moving.

Secret mission underway

Oooohh the suspense!

In all seriousness I have undertaken one of the toughest challenges of mind and body there is. I had a test run earlier today and nearly died, but did finish with a score that I am very satisfied with as a starting point. My aim is to have stage one of this completed by summer and the ultimate goal by the end of the year. The deadlines are not important, but they do motivate me to keep progress in check.

Don't worry, you will soon know what it is when I have done it - and yes, I will do it!

 

Training updates

Another British Masters weightlifting championship at the weekend and I won my group in the 85kg class with a 190kg total and some very close attempts on 2 PBs for what would have been a 210 total. Kettlebells will feature in a big way over the next several months as I climb the ranks and see what I am made of. Weightlifting will continue with new goals and a solid progressive program for my aim of a 230-250kg total at the end of this year.

Grip training to be resurrected as well as it is always good fun and does carryover to many sports - especially the endurance side of kettlebell sport.

Looking forward to the new website shortly and then letting the business grow.
