Uddevalla Open 2012 Long cycle competition

Saturday

The competition in Uddevalla went great (LINK). There were twenty lifters; 15gents, and 5 ladies. We had 6 international lifters, three from Finland and three from Denmark. And, the Stockholm team came with their coach Denis Vasiliev. Yes, the Russian world champion in long cycle.

We had good platforms and  computors for counting reps. The results are not compilated yet, but you will see some very good numbers and hard work in all categories. I am an exception though, I got some kind of spasm in my right trapezius and stopped at 22. It is an old injury and I did not want to upset it. With some stretching, I'm feeling ok again.

A really fun day. 

I am seriously considering to go to the Örebro comp the 31st of March (LINK) for some more.

This video is a demonstration, Denis did not compete:


This video shows some nice lifters and has good fotage:


Monday
AM:
Deadlift 110kg: 5x 5reps
Bench press 70kg: 5x 6 reps
Triceps extensions
Light biceps curls

Stretching

PM:
Snatch 20kg: 10 min, free hand changes, cool tempo ("SSST")

SC jerk 2x20kg: 10

First snatches in a while, just wanted to ease in on them. I like to train snatch outdoors, so this is a preparation for the warmer season. Movements were a bit tight on the left side, less back-swing etc. but not hopeless.

Good stuff!
