Updated: Nov 30, 2021
The guys competed last at our 4th May competition, putting on a show with some big lifts and loud celebrations.
Connor took the win, narrowly missing a 92 snatch and 115 clean and jerk (comp PB attempts).
Coach Dan came in second and performed some brilliant victory dances!!
Sam hit third place with a 5kg snatch comp PB!
Richard had an awesome improvement on his March comp total with a 7kg increase and big jump in Meltzer Faber score.
Tom made the biggest improvement, starting his snatch attempts on 61kg which was previously his comp PB, finishing on 70kg - a 9 kilo comp PB, but also 70kg being a massive snatch PB that he has been working towards for a while now! Seeing him hit it on the platform was amazing! For clean and jerks he also started 4kg above his previous comp PB, an hit another 9kg comp PB, with a 23.69 increase on his Sinclair.
Matt decided to compete last minute and still hit a 7kg comp total PB, with very narrow misses on some heavier attempts too.
Our second Masters lifter, David, also hit some really good numbers, before pulling out of his final C&J attempt with a pull in his leg.

It's incredible to read about so many personal bests and big improvements at the May 4th competition! Tom's 9kg snatch PB is particularly impressive, really showing that hard work pays off. It sounds like everyone truly gave their all, creating an atmosphere where reaching new heights felt like a slope unblocked for many of the lifters. 💪
Wow, what an incredible day of lifts! Tom's achievement of hitting a 70kg snatch, a massive 9kg personal best, really stands out – it's fantastic to see years of hard work culminate in such a strong performance on the platform. It sounds like everyone pushed their limits, and it's clear the team's efforts are really chained together to create a supportive and competitive environment. Did David's leg pull turn out to be anything serious, or was it just a minor strain? 💪
It's awesome to read about everyone's performance, especially Tom's incredible 9kg snatch PB! Hitting a long-term goal like 70kg on the platform is truly something to celebrate 💪. It really shows how dedication pays off, reminding me of the strategic thinking sometimes needed in games like the town of salem.
