Really great to see such enthusiasm, determination, improved fitness and improved technique from everyone. Annie and I are both very proud of what you have all achieved and are excited about what you are still capable of achieving in the future.
Great technique shown by Charlotte and a real hopeful for the comp in Ireland in August. Charlotte narrowly missed out on her grade 1 pass but we know she has it in her and will destroy these numbers next time.
Also great determination and effort from Ange and Katie. neither of them have done a lot of high rep long cycle work and i think the look on their faces said it all when they achieved what they did. I'm sure with some technique work they will easily achieve more.
Even with the remnants of a cold, Nicki still smashed her 8kg grading. Long cycle was smooth and consistent and she also showed her strength in the snatch with 100 reps each hand!!
Annie pretty much repeated her result at the English open comp but this time made it look easy and followed it with ten minutes of snatches. 16kg next!
Wayne, Dave, Jason and Neil all passed their 12kg grading comfortably which shows their level of fitness and technique. The 16kg will start to test them and cause them to iron out a few technique issues but we are very confident that they all have the strength of character to progress much higher. Good work boys.
The lightweight men, Jamie and David showed their worth with the 16's. Jamie fresh back from an MMA win dug in and got the work done. A solid technique and bags of determination gives him a great base to take forward to Ireland and future gradings. David also looked comfortable with the 16's and this is even after probably a monstrous run the weekend before.
Toby Backed up the 16's with a grade 3 pass. Even though a little disappointed his preparation was lacking and a strength programme over the last few months has sapped his endurance a bit. He has plenty of strength there and combined with technique and breathing work he will breeze it next time.
Last but by no means least was Tom and Nick. Tom fresh back from a stomach bug and several kg lighter really gave it his all and displayed a much improved technique from the England comp. We are looking forward to seeing what he can do in Ireland. Nick gave us the drama for the night with an impressive result in the long cycle, showing strength and determination and an amazing improvement on his breathing and overall technique. Im sure everyone will agree how gutted they felt for him when he fell one rep short of a grade 1 pass on his snatch set! I have never seen anyone snatch until the bell comes out of their hand before but that is exactly what Nick did. This shows his determination and with some work with his Snatch technique he will easily achieve a grade 1 pass next time.
Overall a great grading and we hope everyone will go from strength to strength for the next one scheduled for September.
Good work and keep lifting!
