141020

Posted on by

This is a new era, boys and girls. An era where national records are unofficially broken at exercise competitions, and at bro-sessions around the globe.

On Saturday afternoon, in Melbourne Australia, Andrea Miller hit a 105kg/231# Clean and Jerk PR to win event two at Schwartz’s Challenge. Andy’s last exercise comp was the 2013 Aussie regionals, and she’s finally healthy after a long list of injuries and illnesses kept her out of the 2014 season. She spent about four months training with the New Zealand WL team (her home country), and was heartbreakingly close to making their Commonwealth Games squad.

I don’t think her heart is broken anymore – this is the new unofficial 69kg New Zealand National Record in the Clean & Jerk.

Also, I know I’ve already posted this, but my “bro-session” reference above was specific. Lacey’s sorta 85kg/187# PR Snatch from Friday was apparently only 5kg under the Canadian 58kg National Record. When it happened none of us had any idea how close it was.

It’s a new era.

    Pause Sn: 145# off of 180#

    TnG Sn: 140# off of 175#
    ST2B: 18/18/18

    Conditioning: 178 reps + 2251m rowed; lower right back seized up along with right butt cheek; didn’t calm down until about 150 seconds left.

    Notes: Glad my hands didn’t rip. Also, shoutout to Junkin and Foster for the gentlemenly competition via Instagram. Let’s keep posting and pushing. We all push harder when we know someone is shooting for us.

  17. Back to Outlaw after a week in SoCal with two drop-in class WODs; plus a barbell competition Saturday. PRed my snatch FINALLY hit 100# and definitely had more in me. Funny because typical Saturday mornings when I attempt to PR for OLW I can rarely hit 90%!

    BBG
    Should have been 70# but partner was using 65# and forgot to switch weights

    BB Cycling/Midline
    1a) 65#
    1b) 11,13,12

    Conditioning
    Scaled these to 12kg; not very efficient on the kb snatches, especially with the left arm. Form was not on point as it kept hurting my lower back when I did that side. Did alternating 5 at a time. 115; 2031m
