I realized today that since I haven’t been able to get into the site from anything but my phone, I have a whole bunch of videos from the AO that still need posting. The easy choice for the first post is our lifter with the highest total. Marco Coppola didn’t PR, or hit a crazy number like Mr. Estrada, but he did put up the highest total by an Outlaw lifter, and finished 8th overall in the 94kg weight class.
Here’s Marco’s 130kg Snatch, and 165kg Clean & Jerk. Yes, they do look easy. Yes, Marco had leaned out a lot since he broke the Outlaw camp records. And yes, he did a great job of matching his hair accessories to his shoes.
130kg Snatch:
165kg Clean & Jerk:

Fran: 2:23 – 17 sec PR
Thrusters super fast, broke PU’s into 10+5 and 3+3+3 because grip failed med.
Wait a sec! You mean to tell me you broke up your PUs and got 2.23 while I did everything unbroken and got a 2.44?!?! I’m having emotions that include taking my monitor and throwing it across the office whilst yelling every curse word I know and curling up under my desk and crying all at the same time.

Strength
3X5 Tempo Front Squats-245 felt loose in bottom position
Conditioning: 2:22, (8 sec pr from July). Still felt like crap today, thrusters/pu’s all UB, rest/transition time was putting fingertips into gymnastic wraps. On another note-tune into the Big Ten network to watch Penn St. v. Iowa in wrestling dual. ON NOW!

BBG: light snatch and C&J work with Liza
Strength: 175
Fran- 3:53 Rx (1:12 PR!!)
*Third time doing Fran (1st- 9:58, 2nd- 5:09). Lungs/Conditioning was on point and better than what my grip and forearms could handle. UB Thrusters and rough time with Pullups. But happy after stepping out of the car from a 10 hour drive.
