Greater London divisional, 27/2/2016. It’s a pretty disgracefully long time since this competition, and I should have written it up ages ago! As usual life has run away with me. I had actually forgotten all about my “Competition Fatigue” post until I logged in to post this entry, and I think that competition fatigue definitely did a number on me. I didn’t do very well at this competition, and a lot of that is probably down to negative mental attitude. 😎 pic.twitter.com/6MhB7cVNa9. I have only been back ...

Christmas competition and a Christmas break. Once again I have failed to update my blog with any sense of regularity. But since we last spoke I’ve competed for the final (I swear) time this year and am currently on a break from the gym. Last night I said that next week I will. Get back to going to the gym and eating vegetables…forgetting that next week is actually Christmas, so I won’t be getting back to normal for a while! So I didn’t. In fact I was lucky to get 100kg! I got 55kg in the bench (57.5k...

May 16th competition – video | Laura Lifts

May 16th competition – video. Turns out someone was videoing the lifts at my May 16th competitipn, and has done a nice little video (mstly featuring the morning flight). My (red lighted) 102.5kg squat is at about 00:56s and if I’m being honest, I think the judges were kinda harsh! I was so close to making depth! Oh well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. I don’t often see myself squatting, so it’s good to see how bad my lean/upper body collapse is. I don’t think it’s too. June 8, 2015. Next Post →.

I think there’s now a running theme in this (very occasional) blog about how I mean to update but I never have time. Although, to be fair, this time it’s been a lack of motivation to update. I confess: I’m fed up. Life is very stressful right now and, while I’m still nominally going to the gym, it’s more going through the motions than anything else. Back before I did my last competition, I. Upset if I don’t.). Keep my torso up. Hence the dreaded safety bar which forces you to keep a very upright-tors...

What I’ve learned from doing remedial squats. So here’s what I’ve learned from having to re-learn how to squat. Unlearning my old squat technique has been hard. I’m a bit worried about how well my new stance will translate once the box is taken away. At the moment, I’m placing my feet in relation to the box – once that visual cue is gone, will I remember where to put them? And of course, will I remember what being at depth feels like! I hurt in a whole new set of muscles. This is an odd one. I am ver...

If July 25th is as hot as London’s been recently, the gym will be unbearable. 140ish people (assuming each lifter brings a friend to watch) in one smallish room, with no aircon, for 12 hours. Oh well. The things I do for my sport! I’m really glad that powerlifting is becoming so popular (especially among women) but competitions with newbies can be painful. I’m expecting all of the following on the day:. In terms of training, things are going OK I guess. Last week the highlights were squatting 85kg fo...

A slight caveat before I start today’s entry: I have no idea. If anyone from my family reads this blog. If they do, they’ve never mentioned it. But I’m going to mention stuff on here that I haven’t told my family, so I run the risk of shocking and scandalizing them. So in advance: Hello family member! If you’re reading this, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t talk to everyone else about it, as it contains information I’d rather tell the rest of my family in person. Thanks! If you’re a member of my fam...

Long time, lots of updates! It’s been a shockingly long time since I updated here! And so much has happened. I believe last time I posted, I was still doing my remedial squats; since then I have competed again but not added any kilos to my squats sadly. I’m not going to any national competitions this year, but I will be doing a divisional competition in November. Then in January I’m 40 (eek! Which means I’ll be eligible to compete at the British Masters in March! I also changed jobs! I got utterly fed up...
