Brandi - Oly lifting/Strongwoman training log
I'm going to start posting my training log on here instead of just in random spiral-bound notebooks. Given that I compete, I figured this was the place to put it, even if the term competitive doesn't necessarily describe my lifts yet.
First things first, background:
5'4"
153lbs - compete at 69kg
35 years old
History as a competitive oly lifter:
I've been oly lifting seriously since mid-June (yes, this year) and did my first competition on July 30th (PA State Championships in York). I was the top (and only) master in my weight class.
I already signed up for American Masters in November and I'm probably doing another meet in NJ in October. I have also signed up for a Strongwoman competition on October 9th.
Prior athletic background: 1 year of Crossfit from June 2010 - June 2011, but I'm strictly an oly/strength girl now, with conditioning as prescribed by my coach.
Current PRs:
30kg snatch (set July 9th and matched in competition)
43kg c&j (pressed it out July 2nd; PR set in competition)
50kg FS (had been 54kg prior to quad pull in March 2011)
65kg BS (had been 75kg prior to quad pull)
Goals (2-3 months out):
- 110lb axle press(/push press/jerk - however I can get it overhead) by the Strongwoman meet Oct 9th.
- 40kg snatch by my next oly meet Oct 22/23rd.
I just ordered Starting Strength last week but haven't been able to read it yet. I hope to start this weekend.
Feel free to read, comment, ask questions or whatever once I start posting.
Thanks!
Brandi
