Club Test Day(s)

An interesting test day!
Brigid sets the standard by setting a PR in squat. 6 weeks of hard work pay off in a 7 k increase. Excellent work! Next up: more weight!
The number of participants for Saturday's test day was low, but it was enthusiastic. With the flu, sinus infections, and cold feet hitting a couple of people, lifters could concentrate on their own lifts.
Garrett, despite having a cold of some sort, did not disappoint and made a valiant go at a PR triple in the squat. One excellent squat and good information on the classic lifts was gained.
Megan, the only one participating in singlet Saturday, was a little out in front on her snatch and CJ PR attempts. Her one rep squat was solid and took about the same amount of time as a triple!
Keith went after it in the snatch, but was a bit slow in the second pull and could not get much more than usual. A 95% snatch is nothing to sneeze at.
He nailed his first CJ PR attempt. Then a sneaky misload led to a miss. Loading the bar correctly had him set a new PR in the clean, but was not able to drive the bar up for the jerk. He nailed a double bodyweight squat to set a new PR.
Ben had great form on his two openers and then left his PR snatch a bit out in front for a miss. He had to bag the CJ due to a nagging injury.
He then attempted to set a new absolute club record in squat. 190 was a toothpick, but 210 made him into a smashed cat.
Dave looks to be setting his own PR at the meet this weekend!
