Murrieta Barbell Club

Couldn’t be more proud of these guys. Antoine and Christian were lifting in the same session. Antoine @frenchyrider went 4/6 and looked good and explosive in his first meet. Christian @ces0487 went 6/6 and hit meet PRs in both lifts and also got a total PR on his way to a third place finish. Joey @p1n3appl3808 tied all of his PRs and went 4/6 as well. He also took home the GOLD!!... With no meets in almost a year and finally stepping on the platform there were a few unknowns. However all three guys hit their goals and moved the bar more confident then ever.

Tomorrow we will be having a few of our @crossfitmurrieta and @murrieta_barbell_club athletes competing at the @ecbweightlifting meet tomorrow in San Diego. @frenchyrider and @ces0487 will be hitting the platform at 10:05am. @p1n3appl3808 will be stepping on the platform at 2:35pm. You can catch their sessions online link below. Antoine & Christian...

With a great morning session in today, here are a few take-aways for our athletes. 1)Move knees back as hips come up. 2)Pull the bar back into your hips vs. pushing hips forward to meet the bar. 3)Get full extension before moving under the bar. 4)Meet the bar at it’s highest point. (Don’t just pull and drop or let it crash on you.) Such great energy today! Thanks to all who showed up! @crossfitmurrieta @murrieta_barbell_club @ccmcclure97 @mrzamina @jsaracaysr @ces0487 @larabova104 @katiecburn (Alan, Renee & Mickey) #olympicweightlifting #oly #usaw #splwc #crossfit #weightlifting #snatch #cleans

AO 2 series results for MBC members Joey and Ken... Joey went 2/6 today in the 96 B session. He opened with 110 Snatch and went to 114. He lost it behind him pulling it efficiently but not securing it in the bottom position. We decided to go up as he seemed good for more and we were hoping for a PR. He attempted 117 but it wasn’t happening today. He opened with 142 in the clean and jerk but missed the jerk. He finally hit 142 on his 3rd attempt to secure a total. Not what we ...were hoping for but still a great effort and learning experience. Ken went 5/6 hitting a snatch PR (97kg) a clean and jerk PR (124 kg) and a total PR (221 kg) in the 109+ A session. (Ken had to lift with some very strong dudes in that session.)His only miss was his last clean and jerk at 127kg because he had to follow himself and it is tough to do in that situation. Ken ended up with 3 medals in the masters 35 division. It was a great day and we are very proud of @p1n3appl3808 and @ken_52 !!! Next week begins a new strength cycle for Murrieta Barbell as we prepare for meets this fall by building more of a foundation. See more

Tomorrow @p1n3appl3808 will be hitting the platform at 11am PST on the BLUE platform. @ken_52 will be lifting at 5:30pm PST on the WHITE platform. https://www.teamusa.org/usa-weightlifting/live
