Aw that's a huge pity, but hopefully you's will get to do it. Next year you's will probably have the biggest teamYep! It's a BIG comp!
Problem is, its the National Club Championship and you need to have a minimum of 3 girls max of 4 on a team.
RWC has always only had 2 female lifters..so we've persuaded a beginner to compete so that we can enter a team....BUT if its oversubscribed teams will get selected based on previous performance and because our beginner has never competed her score will be a 0...so we're at a huge disadvantage....so we have to wait and find out if we get an entry or not!
We're only doing it for the craic anyway! We havent a hope of winning.0 -

Saturday 4th of October-National Club Champs!
Really mixed day! Was UBER impressed with my snatches and then mind got totally ****ed for my cleans
Snatches
43kg/46kgx/47kg
First time ever making a 3kg jump in comp and really proud that I was confident enough to do it! Missed 2nd attempt but coach kept telling me that it was cos I'd put too much power into the bar..so we decided to go up another kg. REALLY REALLY proud that I was confident enough to do that.
Normally what happens is that my coach suggests we go for something in the snatches and I always chicken out and go lower but today was the first day that I said yeh!! Chuffed
Clean and Jerks
Complete and utter mess! I powercleaned my last warmup and it completely ****ed with my head and I didn't have time to retake it and clean it properly.
58/61/63x
Powered the first two and then I went to clean the 3rd and decided half way thru the pull to power instead Just disappointed cos I KNOW I could have cleaned more. Was sooooo confident with the cleans for the last month...dunno what happened:(

Reading that, there are a lot more positives than negatived. A lot lot more. Confidence and learning when not to deviate from the norm, to name just two things. The final result didn't go they way you wanted but you learned a lot that will make a lot of future results go how you want 0

Ah yeh, Just really disappointed with the cleans though. Had an excellent run up to the comp and then ended up powering:( Probs doing heavy singles the week of comp didn't help this time0 -

New programme starts next week so halfheartedly following the old one/doing a bit of messing....I'm thinking of deadlifting tomorrow:eek:0 -
Tuesday 7th of October
Was supposed to get my bodyfat tested on Thursday but got called in to get it done today:( Was devastated...cos I wanted that 3day headstart to get a teeny bit leaner:pac::pac:
Sarah and I have a bodyfat challenge going on and The Edge gym kindly offered to do biosignature bf testing on us now and in 6 weeks to determine the winner.
Was pretty surprised at the results..came out at 18.65%...and Im pretty chuffed cos I thought it was gonna be muuuuuuuch worse!There was only a 0.1% difference in mine and Sarahs readings so it makes it all the more competitive:D:D
We were both given different advice too. I was told that I don't tolerate carbs well and that I need to sweat more at the end of workouts and should add a small amount of conditioning in at least 3times a week....which is funny cos it is exactly what I had intended on doing.

Woke up really sore tho My poor hamstrings:o All my own fault..one of the lads told me TWO months ago that I needed to start doing isolated hamstring work...and I didn't. Will definitely do those GHRs once a week going forward.
PM- All the mobility stuff
Rolled, stretched and did bar warm ups.....was really hard to resist the urge not to do some conditioning work.,,,but I know I should start off easy and not go full throttle or I'll never recover.0 -
