The Weight Pit

First CANPL Central Canadian Championship done for Georgette

Squats were not going well prep, despite going much better on meet day they were still way under her potential. We opened with 90kg to safely get on the board then jump to 105kg for an easy second, but unfortunately missed the third 120kg on depth.

Bench went really well 3/3 with an easy third 85kg (2.5kg pr).

Deadlifts also went 3/3 with 170kg (5kg pr).

Very strong end to the meet! Well keep building the momentum heading into provincials!

🥉 place finish for Chris Smith CANPL Central Canadian Championship

After breaking his foot 3 weeks out rock climbing the plan was just show up and get a total.

Originally the squat opener was 75kg but after things were feeling good we upped it to 100kg and the plan of taking a big jump on 2nd 🥈 if there was no pain. Went for 165kg on the second (matching his comp pr). For the 3rd we went 180 but got called on depth 2-1. Definitely a lot more there for next time.

Bench was 2/3 also. After moving 110kg for an easy second he got a bit too hyped up and missed the press command with 117.5kg.

Deadlifts were a battle for the podium. We had the advantage of pulling after Yassir. For Chris 3rd deadlift he needed 222.5kg for the win, Yassirs coach changed their 3rd pull to tie on total but they would win on bodyweight. I waited to see he made the lift and after he was successful I upped our deadlift to 225kg (5kg pr) for the 🥉 place spot. Chris stepped up and smoked it!

Very fun day of coaching! I’m excited to see what he can total without a foot injury (the exact same thing happens 3 weeks out from his last meet but on the other foot 🤦🏻‍♂️).

Thanks to the volunteers and refs for making this meet happen!

CANPL Central Canadian Championship done, time to prep for provincials in a couple months.

Very proud of for going 8/9 in her first international meet.

The first time I handled Sonia about a year ago (right before I starts working with her) she went 1/3 ⚪️⚪️🔴. Since then she has worked very hard not complained. Today it paid off. She hit 128.5kg going 3/3 for a 11kg meet pr and a record!

Bench was also 3/3 78kg (2kg pr). This was a record till the next lifter broke it.

Deadlift are her lift. After pulling an unofficial world record at nationals she got the chance to make it official today. After missing her opener because of foot movement she got it on her second and went for 182.5kg getting the record and record total 389kg (15kg pr).

Next up is the commonwealths championship in September!

Great effort from .marie.f today at her first provincials. Time for an off season to get more familiar with the sport and keep building!
