A night for personal bests

Sometimes, the best PR attempts and makes just materialize in front of you. Tonight was one of those nights. Lifters were warned that when the temperature outside rose, the temperature inside would go through the roof and it did. 85 outside, 100 inside. Not much need to warm up. Keith, chasing a couple of personal records, asked, "Why am I so loose in the bottom (of the snatch)?" "It looks as if you are not spreading the bar and getting tight." "Ok, I am going to try 80." He smashed it and obliterated an old, old 56kg snatch record. Now, the goal is to do it in a meet. After hitting 95 in CJ in the BFB the other day, he attempted 100 tonight and attempted it twice. Solid clean, solid rack, popped off his shoulders, just a bit weak in the split despite the two attempts. His third attempts on Sunday will be to hit each of these lifts. Brieh, getting stronger each session, hit a PR in front squat and hit her first ever CJ. Nice work! Ron got the CJ he was after, hitting a 110 solidly the other night. Zach missed a 94 CJ on BFB day, but did make the rack quite happy with a 100 jerk. Great stuff and just in time for Sunday. One can only hope 3 days off will get everyone well rested.
