I had a good day of lifting, despite being an injury-laden slug for the past month! I am very happy with how I did. Here are my results:
3rd place locally, Movement Minneapolis
4th place, 82.5kg weight class Worldwide
27th place, Open Class, Worldwide
EVENTS
Vulcan @ 20mm Level 14 (PR) 29th Worldwide
Two Hands Pinch 172.95# 40th Worldwide
GripTopz Shallow Hub 44.26# (PR) 29th Worldwide
GripTopz Stub 40.30# 18th Worldwide
I think I got lucky in Leg 2 in that my final weights were perfect picks for my strength that day. My strategy was sound for this Leg, but not surprising the polished strength was not there. So I believe I did as well as I possible could have. Very happy. Missed L15 on the Vulcan, but I've never closed anything higher than L12 on my Wasp spring. 2HP was a huge PR last leg and to get over 170 again was encouraging. I got 179 off the ground twice. Shallow Hub was a huge surprise. I had done a little training on a plate at home and was INCREDIBLY happy with an over 20k lift. I got 47# off the ground. Stub was just under my PR from Leg 2 which was 41# and change. I got 43# off the ground twice and couldn't hold. Still a great finish in this event.
Adam ran a smooth contest as usual. My hands fared pretty well and actually feel better today than going into the contest. Hmm... This my have been just what I needed to get my butt moving again. It's invigorating to compete and the guys and gals who show up for the Minneapolis location are fun and motivating.
