Lifting Results from Today's Invitational

With the minimum amount of lifters in the meet (and coach sweating bullets he would be lifting!), had some good performances today. Dave and Ben both lifted in their first meet ever and both went 6 for 6. The bug has a firm grasp on both of them.
Eric hit PR in snatch and PR total earning 2 stickers today.
With this in mind, here are the results:

Dave, 45/60/105 6 for 6 with loads of room for improvement!
Ben, 45/60/105 6 for 6 with loads of room for improvement!
Eric, 63/75/138 PR SN and Total
Frank, 50/65/115 who withdrew due to painful shoulders.
Chad, 0/90/0
Steve, 85/108/193

Thanks for the help goes to: Ed and his son Adam, Josh (not lifting due to injury), and Andrew. Rick for driving out and then thanks to the spectators!

First Reward Level, PR in CJ

Eric, after a titanic struggle, figures out pin cleans and nails it. He hits the first reward level for stickers!
Steve, after struggling a bit in the snatch, hits a PR CJ. His clean was a bit rough and he worked hard, but the jerk was the best of the night.
Nice work!

Hopefully, this translates into PR for both on Sunday.

What a day for the lifters today!

Jake, lifting at the Spartan Open in Michigan, went 3 for 3 in snatch, hit 115/145/260, won his weight class, and was best lifter. Not a bad Saturday! Congratulations, Jake.
A full house on Saturday morning had new lifters in there as well as "old" lifters looking for PR lifts.
Steve: ties CJ PR and hits clean PR.
Eric: breaks PR in snatch and CJ for a two sticker day.
Josh earned another sticker for his performance.

The race to the 5 sticker reward level is tight with Eric, Garrett, and Keith with 4 stickers each. Steve is on his way to the 3rd reward level with 12 stickers now.

Fantastic work all around!

Personal Record: Broken

At the end of the second and last cycle of squat program, Steve exceeds his previous PR in squat. His snatch has increased 3 kg, clean has gone up 3 kg, squat has increased 6 kg. Bodyweight is the same. Sticker earned. He has upped his intensity. Now, up yours.
Ben 1, a strong fellow, is getting the hang of the lifts.
Ben 2 , also a strong fellow, is reacquainting his hamstrings with weightlifting.
Frank is getting to know the flex, extend, flex feeling.

What a night...Wow

Ben returns after about a month and finds out what "through the heels" and "pulling Ben under the bar" means. Frank feels "high on the hips" and pulling him under the bar. Eric ditto. Josh ditto. Garrett feels it in his legs. Chad finds 65 boring and 70 a bit of a challenge.
Steve hits a PR snatch, gets 10 stickers, and hits the next reward level.
Excellent progress being made by all! Nice work!

Sticker Day

Steve blasts through his snatches and squats to earn himself sticker number 8. Two away from the next reward.
Keith has 4, Garrett has 3, and a bunch are clustered around the 2 mark. This cycle should lead to the demolition of a number PRs and many stickers being awarded.
