Squat = 110k √ 117.5k √ 125k √
That’s a 17.5k private greatest on the similar body weight.
Bench = 72.5k √ 77.5k √ 80k √
Kasia needed to go for 82.5k, nevertheless, Coach Charlie put her in for 80k to safe the 5k private greatest. It seems, Kasia did doubtlessly have 82.5k in her, judging by the velocity she pressed 80k, however she will be able to all the time save that for the subsequent comp!
Deadlift = 120k √ 132.5k √ 140k √

She opened with a 170k squat adopted by 180k and onto a private better of 190k. Sadly, she missed it on a depth name (she didn’t move her hips beneath the peak of her knee) so this is not going to depend, nevertheless, Coach Charlie was extremely completely happy that not solely did she squat it she did it with velocity and ease!
Subsequent up Christie needed to check out her bench shirt in a barely completely different method, eradicating her belt and performing it barely looser. That is completely different to how she has beforehand competed in a bench shirt as a result of her bench has been so inconsistent. The trick almost labored, nevertheless, Christie had additionally solely returned to england lunch time the day gone by after plenty of flight points from America so I believe it’s truthful to say tiredness could have been fairly an element. Nonetheless, she nonetheless managed to bench an equal PB of 1125.okay.
Understanding this was a try-out comp, Christie solely put in a token deadlift of 100k… to a spherical of cheers and shouts from the viewers of ‘PB time Christie’ and ‘you go for it lady come on’! She almost overlook to raise it for laughing! Good to have a little bit of enjoyable when you find yourself having fun with your sport!
