The Bomber

December 5th 2009 - London & SE Open

There were 16 lifters in the 94kg catagory and they decided to run the competition on 2 platforms. Suffice it top say this didn't work too well. My normal competition coach had 3 other lifters to take care of so my warm up was screwed:

Snatch
20kgx5 (5)
60x2 (3)
80x2 (2)
90
100
110 - was told at this point I had 7 lifts to wait
110
120
120 - told 12 lifts to go!
110
120
120

Platform
130 - Not quite pulled high enough and right arm unlocked
130 - Ditto
130 - Pull was good but swung slightly and rotated behind
