February 2008 Winterlift, Toronto

Here I am preparing to go on the platform. My snatch attempts were 70, 75 and 78kg. The second photo is my pull in the snatch. The 3rd photo is me gettting my grip for the clean and jerk. My attempts at the C & J were 85, 90 and 91. My total was 160 with my 75kg and 85kg C & J. Mid season, I was happy with my result. Still hoping for better. Will work on it!!!

December 2007 Montreal continued

So my attempts were 65, 70 and 70kg at the snatch and 78, 82 and 83kg at the clean & jerk. I missed both of my 2nd an 3rd attempts. That gave me a total of 143kg with my 65kg snatch and 78kg C&J. The videos are in order of attempts (I think).

December 2007 Montreal, Québec

Coming back from a back injury this competition was my deciding factor. I can still lift. I took a month off of lifting in September/October. Absolutly no lifting for a whole month. Lost a few pounds, got a little depressed and dealt with a few issues but I came back. My performance was far from my best but it was a good start. It was encouraging. I came 2nd in the 58kg category.

August 2007

A little history from 2007. Here I am in Colorado at the State Games trying to gain some international experience. The competition took place at the USA training center in Colorado Springs. Not like ours: like 25 platforms in the weightlifting room and 16 platforms with squat rack in the weight room. All bumper plates...

Not my best perfomance but a good early start to the season training.
