Totts and Bob Olympic Lifting Bonanza

Hey Folks,

Bob here! Well, better late than never, here are some videos from the Don Wilson Golden West Open (also, results http://www.lifttilyadie.com/Results/12GldWst.htm). Yep, the meet was in Redding. On a Sunday. And they ran late (heavy dudes weight class finished around 9:30pm, so awesome). But otherwise, it was totally awesome - lots of people, a great environment, and some very very strong people.

Totts competed in the loaded 63kg women weight class, and hit 5 of her 6 lifts! This video is of her 53kg (117 lbs) attempt, which she narrowly missed (sorry Totts the other videos I have are from farther away, thought this would be cooler!).

 
 
Totts, send me the videos your mom took of your C&J and we can put one of those up here too!
 
I competed in the 105kg weight class and did OK. Ahh enough talking, here are videos. First, 127kg C&J - a new personal comp PR.
 
 
And finally the 131kg C&J attempt - would have been a lifetime PR but my bird arms / baby traps / cowardice got in the way. Next time, head through for sure.

 

 
 I'm sure I've said this to anyone who has asked, but the competitions are a ton of fun. We're planning on going to another one in February, so go get yourself a singlet for Christmas and join us!
