Well, it aint pretty and it isn't even remotely comp legal but it IS 100kg from the ground to overhead. I've still got a loooot of work to do. 😅

So today I competed in my first ever olympic weight lifting competition. Anyone who knows me will know how competitive I am. So entering a competition I knew I had no chance of winning was hard for me to do. At the end of the day I played it pretty conservative and made 5/6 of my lifts (the one missed lift was a 2 to 1 call on my lock out on my last C&J) and totalled 157 which put me 7th from 12. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the camaraderie with all the other lifters. A huge thank you to @crossfit_townsville and Thunder Barbell club for putting on such a fun event. And thanks dad @rper1959 for the camera work. Can't wait to hit some bigger numbers in the future. Final lifts Snatch - 60kg, 65kg, 70kg Clean & Jerk - 80kg, 87kg, 94kg (no lift) #olympicweightlifting #weightlifting #strongereveryday #snatch #cleanandjerk #crossfit #townsville
If my memory serves me correctly... Mr Miyagi is found on Chapel St and he named his men the Iron Chefs: the invincible men of culinary skills. Introducing Iron Chef French - Hiroyuki Sakai and Iron Chef Chinese -Chen Kenichi. #mrmiyagi #chapelstreet #ironchef #melbourneliving #melbourne #bestreastaurant #asianfusion #twostagerocket
Took a quick weekend trip to one of the most picturesque towns in Antioquia - Jardín. The town itself isn't all too different from the majority of small towns in Antioquia but the surrounding scenery and climate set it apart. Nestled squarely in the coffee zone it is needless to say that the coffees there were amazing. The highlight, however, was waking up to the sound of running water and a host of different bird calls. #jardin #colombia #antioquia #coffee #relax #cathedral #thisisliving #nature #aussie
Was lucky enough to be able to watch El desfile de los sillateros on Sunday. An amazing event. Some of the silletas were carried by children and grandmas. I am sure some of them weighed upwards of 40kg. The artestry and skill involved in the production of the masterpieces is truly to be admired. So to is the strength and will to carry these cumbersome creations for kms upon kms. This is another must do in Colombia. #feriadelasflores #colombia #medellin #flowers #adventure #orgullosos #beauty #lovinglife #aussie #hashtag #bucketlist
