It happens occasionally on max attempts. Probably the 4th or 5th time it has happened to me this year. I've a issue with my right medial glute which causes my knee to come in (I also flaired the legs a touch too much). I doubt it will be a problem on Saturday because I'll be fully recovered and I'll have spent the week stretching and rolling which goes a good portion of the way of fixing it.

Eternity = waiting for you to come out of the bottom of a squat.

Did your knee do that thing that it does?

nah, I didn't make a balls of the cut this time and I felt great in the warmups and felt it was the day for 80kg snatch. A couple of things went wrong first was an external factor of there was about a 10 minute wait between my last snatch warmup and my opener. I was meant to be lifting after Frogdog so when he did his 3rd lift I went down to lift but a guy dropped his opener below mine last second and ended up having all 3 lifts below my opener then. Then when i got on to platform I rushed the lifts.

I'm making out a gmail doc for myself now on a list of things I'd do differently on the day, prep beforehand was all good. Main thing is coming up with a routine for going for max's in the gym and then to replicate that when it comes to competition. I don't have one at the moment and I ended up rushing things with comp adrenalin/nerves. Dead Ed told me to stop rushing during the break for C&J and I lifted better then. I let out a few obscenities when I missed the 103kg powerclean because my jerks are absolute piss now and I would have stuck it

I'm not that bothered really I just like to moan /emo in my log. The margin of error for making and missing a snatch is pretty small and **** like this is going to happen. I'm doing the hercs supertotal now on Saturday and hopefully can make up for it then.

Well done on the comp man, you always learn way more competing on the Platform then in the gym.

Hercs Supertotal?? Do tell. You a hercs member?

Cheers, you are dead right on that one. Learned a lot for the next one.

The Hercs club championships are on this weekend. There is powerlifting, weightlifting competition, and some bodybuilding thing as well I think. I'm not a member but Supposedly is a member and signed me up for it. L is doing it as well I think. Dead Ed is injured but I think he's doing whatever lifts he can get away with.

I think the order of events is light powerlifting, weightlifting, heavy powerlifting. Under and over is 82.5kg is the distinction between light and heavier classes. I'd much prefer to weightlift first then powerlift so I might do the opposite of what I did last week. More carbs as the week goes on and water load instead of cut water the day before and morning of weigh-in
