yesterday was the 2006 Washington State High School Olympic Lifting meet. I competed in the 77kg. weight class (169 lbs). I power snatched 80kg. and clean and jerked 100kg. I ended up getting 2nd in my weight class, by only 5 kg.

here are some pics.

I think I just want to beat this kid.

there was one guy there that almost clean and jerked 308lbs. He had it up, but couldnt keep his arms locked.

at least you cleaned up after you jerked it =]

Congrats man. Good luck next year.

I "clean jerk" myself all the time but that's only 200lbs.

nice, I want to start lifting, not sure about the lifting contests though.

Any pointers for someone starting off, im not trying to get all big and bulky, but a bit stronger, maybe get up to benching low 200's eventually?

^^^I started lifting with a buddy that knew more than I did. After that, it became a routine that I lifted 4 times per week. I started to read muscle magazines (not men's fitness). I learned from reading and talking to guys at the gym that were in better shape than I was.

yeah, just find a buddy that has been working out for a really long time, go to the gym with him for a while, you'll get the hang of it.

thanks fellas, yeah a couple of my friends work out all the time, I don't even know how much they can lift, I know one can curl just over 100, isn't that quite a bit? Well I think it's curling haha
