It's been inspiring to read all the journals/updates of people progressing, so I thought I'd make one myself.

Today I maxed out in the snatch and clean & jerk. It's not much, but I've been training for about 2 months and I beat all the gym records for youths in my weight division so I'm happy about it though.

Snatch
47kg/104lbs

Clean & Jerk
57kg/126lbs

Total
104kg/228lbs

My bodyweight is 65kg/143lbs. I usually weigh more but I've been lousy with my diet recently and been partying a lot so I've lost much weight, and it's not bodyfat so I need to get a grip on that.

This wednesday I'll max out in squats (front/back) and some other excercises, more info then. Competition is in 2 months.

is this a weightlifting competition?

in which case i'd be scared haha. i thought it was common for people to do at least above their bodyweight for those lifts (i do and i hardly train).

sorry to sound like an ass....

Well it's just a serie round (don't know the proper translation, serieomgång) ... which means that it's mostly rookies from other clubs.

Shengoikee, I'm 8kgs from my bodyweight in the C&J. Judging from the improvement I've done over theese two months, I should be able to C&J about 70kg when it's time for the contest (5kg more than I weigh).

rock_ten, yeah it's a good number consider the amount of training in have, but it's not very flashy at all.

Steve, I love how you read the entire post!

Can you do more weight if you don't concentrate on form? I'm confused.

TRAIN MORE, LIFT HEAVIER WEIGHTS, BE MORE EXPLOSIVE, DESTROY EVERYTHING.

thats my advice.

You know the whole big bang theory? That is just a reference to the observable facts of the evolution of the universe.

What? No I mean't that by the time the competition is due I should be able to lift a little more than my bodyweight!
