Club Test Day: Results

What a day! Goal was to set PR in a lift or lifts and then finish off with a "fun" contest. Dave (all the way from Lexington), Ron, Keith, Steve, Ben, and Josh were lifting.
Dave set a PR in the snatch with 64 and hit 89 in the CJ decisively, but did not break his PR in that lift.
Ron was a PR machine. He hit PR in the snatch 4 times, finishing off with a strong 70. His CJ was near PR, just not quite there.
Steve made valiant attempts at the snatch and CJ, but did not have the strength today for them. He will soon. He did earn a sticker by winning the thick bar dead lift and hold by 2 seconds.
Keith finished up his 4 week conditioning program with a strong CJ performance. He struggled mightily with his clean, was able to stand up, but just could not lock out the jerk. He is ready for more.
Josh made valiant attempts in his snatch and CJ, too. He ended up winning the thin plate pinch grip contest for his sticker.
Ben came in with the goal of a 200+ squat. He was successful. He hit a 202 for an absolute club record in the gym. Prior to this lift, he missed his PR snatch, but came back to nail two PR in the CJ. Finally leaving his handshake partner in the dust.
The results from the event will allow for adjustments to the next few weeks of lifting prior to the ETSU open. That should be a great time, too.
Excellent work by all lifters.

Keith: First Reward Level

After time away from lifting, Keith has been working very hard on conditioning. Today, he hit 9 clean and jerks in 9:30 at 120% bodyweight. Earned him an OSU sticker and 6 cupcakes!

Reward Level Updates

Ron was able to earn his first sticker for a good performance the other night.
Josh went all out and after being stuck at 3 for some time, earned 2 stickers in two consecutive workouts. He now receives his half dozen delicious cupcakes.
Steve was the winner of a club wager on Saturday and gets to enjoy 3 cupcakes on his way to the 94 kilo class.
With a club test date scheduled for August 21, there should be plenty more stickers earned!
