Competed today in the Auckland Bench Press Champs with a field of 17 lifters. Was the only girl competing :shock: so took out 1st place in my weight class under 57 (weighed in at 55.6kg) and Best Female Lifter Overall

60kg 3 whites

65kg 3 reds - locked it out but double movement coming off the chest :evil: worked out why and set up better for the 3rd lift

65kg 2 whites, 1 red (butt slightly off bench on L side) but a good lift.

I expected a high level of refereeing today...good preparation and learning for nationals.

Big ups to my awesome coach Steak for putting the time into my lifting sometimes at the expense of his own. Had a couple of anxious moments there for him today...but got it all tidied for the 3rd.

Cheers TinyTraps for your great job at spotter/loading and to the APA guys/girls for running an awesome comp.

Big J churr for being team photographer and for your support...comps just wouldn't be the same with out you.

It was 8) to catch up with you guys, have a few laughs and go eat some KFC after. Cheers for the cheesecake J :wink:

Also thanks to Traps and Rechelle (my training partner) for coming down to support me.

Here's a few pics...........

Next week it's head down and training hard for nats in 4 weeks :nod:

afew tech issues on the 2nd attempt there but you really knuckled down on that 3rd attempt to get a good lift. its the little things that can get ya when it comes to comp (ie butt off the bench) no doubt this will be drilled into the build up for nats im pretty sure le coach will see to that :nod:

That's what I thought too just go for the platform experience.

No probs with the lift outs...I just need to communicate more with the spotters as to how far I want the lift out. All good.

Yup was a good feed and the uh "medium shirted" (just joking) one couldn't quite handle his bucket. Bring the back the super heavy weight :pfft: Real talk.

Such an Overwhelming power that is...THE KFC bucket.

It overpowered you sunshine :roll:
