What a great day out for our club. Videos to follow but the headlines are:
Rose and Yasmin got p b s in both lifts and totals.
Ben got close.
Adanna put on a technical masterclass in her preparation for the British Weight Lifting Age group championships (6/6).
Yasmin qualified for the European Masters next year, with an heroic last clean and jerk.
Daisy Marshall did a great job preparing the lifters in the week beforehand and helping Rose in the first group. Trainee coach helped out all day: big thanks to both.
Well done to everyone for supporting each other.
Thanks to Craig Spicer and all the volunteers at Crazy Strength for running another great competition.

Coach James is working with at the clinic in Orlando.
He's also got the world masters championships in Athens in 9 days time.
Being a masters athlete isn't a game of perfect. It's about managing training around life, work, family commitments.
Training before dawn isn't ideal, but it's better than sitting on the couch critiquing others!
Thanks to for the t-shirt!

'nuff said. Jack is the most experienced athlete at our club. His athleticism isn't an accident. He's trained with us, every week, for 12 years!
If you want to be faster, stronger and fitter, why not train with him?
