Sometimes progress in weightlifting is glacial. In fact, the better you get the slower those PRs are in coming. When you are new to the sport, progress tends o be quick as you master technique and become better coordinated. But after that initial flush of progress one has to be consistent and diligent in training.
If you stick with it, though, you will make progress. Last night we enjoyed some fireworks as Phil Locker and Jeff Malpezzi broke into some new territory.
Jeff hit a PR 100kg Clean and Jerk ....twice. The night before he made a PR 77kg snatch. He has also improved his front squat by 15kg in the last two weeks. Phil hit a PR 111kg snatch and then followed up with another record 115kg snatch, which I think is a 5kg improvement. Feeling good, Phil went on to hit a 2kg PR int he clean and jerk (147) and then another PR 152kg for a 7kg improvement on that lift.
Here is video of the top lifts of the evening:
PRs are fun, but you have to put in the work to get them! So get in here and practice. Coach Randy has WL Club hours Monday thru Friday 1 - 5PM and 6:15- 8PM, Saturday and Sunday 1-3.
