2012 Oceania & Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships Including the Continental Olympic Qualification event
Cougars members at the Oceania & Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships
This competition being an Olympic Games qualifier meant that our nominated 6 men and 4 women had all to total and also place high in order for us to be allowed to send 1 man and 1 women to the Olympics.
If one failed we were out ! - It was high pressure lifting and coaching.

Coaching Times
From now on I will also be coaching on Sunday morning from 8.30 to 10.30am as well as the Sat session
Record your training and Know your PB's
Recording your progress
Everybody needs to be recording their training and bodyweight for each session and also be recording their PB's for 5,3,2,1 reps for every lift apart from pulls
It amazes me the number of people that do not know their PB single or triple or have no idea of their current bodyweight or did not know what they did last week.
Chasing something positive each week
You should be also chasing PB 5,3,2 reps in training not just your singles
Try and get something positive out of each week either a PB for 5,3,2 in a lift or some improvement on a point of technique.
