Saturday
======
Ninearms and I where lucky enough were lucky enough to get tickets for the London 2012 Olympic weightlifting trial event. Basically an international invitational to test out the venue and everything before the comp. Was a great day and motivation, really amped to hit the gym on Monday.

Sunday in-door rock climbing.
===================
Feeling pretty exhausted like I havent got a solid nights sleep in a week.
Use crew rock climbing, warmup on transverse wall. 5+ then few moves on the 6a before I fell off.
Few easy 4+ and 5's lead climbing to practice clipping in, need to work on keeping my arms locked out not to waste energy.
Top roped and failed a 5+ route then went back to a 5+ over hang lead route. Got half way up and into a Tom Cruise mission impossible move before I fell off.
Pullup routine to end. Fingers sore and something pulled inside my right palm. Solid session.

I like the text that says "if successful will be 1st". Short and informative.

Looking at the video, it looks easy, like the way the bar bounces up at the top of the squat. Depth is deep for me, as flexibility increases might get a little deeper.

Congrats on the PB baldy! Looking good.

[ninearms]

Don't forget the leisure centre plates are worth at least an extra 5kg!

[JP]

Excellent pants! And a good frontie, looked easy.

The hat and the shorts might have contributed.
