For time.
Will be interesting to see how much the qualifying standards are raised for the 2015 AO.
*Edit: 2014 AO.
They have already been released and the numbers didn’t go up much. 3 kilos more for my weight class (69kg). But they may revise them now. Who knows.
I turned 19 last week and am also a 69.. I will clean and jerk 306 by the time I’m 20.
