Gillian's Journey

[Rob Israel]

Are you going to be doing the split snatch again?

Looking forward to seeing you progress in the Oly lifts-- pretty awesome.

My back is pretty healthy these days. I'm planing to squat under it when it gets heavy unless my body chooses to split. For whatever reason I always shoot my left leg forward a tad and right leg back a tad when I power anything heavy. Maybe that is my body telling me something? Too soon to tell yet. I should know in a week or so.
Thanks for the support guys.

She's probably too strong for olympic weightlifting.

I agree. Her only chance to make up for it is to start with the bar over her toes and sweep it in. She probably needs to switch to high-bar, too if she wants to deal with the excessive strength. And stop with the heavy pulls of course.

I am amazed by your funky dancing! Awesome meet.

I'm speechless. Your strength. Your willpower. Your single-mindedness. Your sportsmanship. Your maturity. Your chicken dance. It's all wonderful and inspiring.

The fact that you already can hit your qualifying numbers for the American Open on your first day of training, less than a week after competing in a powerlifting meet, is pretty incredible. Perfect example of how strength translates to the olympic lifts, even with less than perfect technique. Nice job, Gillian. Looking forward to seeing you in Texas!

No kidding. That is remarkable and jaw dropping.

This. All of this.
