Al, Ruth and I are planning to go on Saturday, too. We should set up a live stream to watch each other. LOL

Ruth and I did our Postal yesterday (Sat.). Ruth weighed in at 107 and me at 180.6. She did a one-armed snatch with 55 (right) on her second, unofficially beating Noi’s 23 year-old record but missed 60 on her third. I spanked 130 on a second (left) and got all excited because it’s 5 pounds more than my open record I just set at Al’s Record Breakers…and just dropped the bar. Ruth shook her head and told me I needed to remain in control of the bar. I told her it was a snatch, that the rules of the snatch applied, and that I can drop it. We checked the rules. I guess the 1-a snatch ain’t a snatch and had to repeat 130 on my third and got white lights. Here’s a picture of my 1-a snatch:
Ruth went 3 for 3 on the clean and press, ending up with 85 pounds, but was disappointed because it was 10 pounds less than what she’s done in training. I got a solid 190 on my second and went to 200 on my third. Just before lockout I lost balance a bit and my heels popped up. Red lights. Here’s a picture of my c&p:
Ruth took 235 on her second attempt in the Jefferson and made a solid, strong, and perfect lift, but skipped her third because she was worn out. Same with me. I took 505 on my second, hammered it, and called it a day. Check out my Jefferson:
This was our first Postal ever and it was fun, albeit a bit strange in that we didn’t have the support we’re used to from o

My daughter Gabby did hers getting 20lbs on the 1 arm snatch, 46lbs on the clean and press, and 150lbs on the Jefferson.

LAnce and I lifted. With all that has been going on and nursing yet another nagging injury, my main goal was just to get some numbers in so I didn’t have any postals where I didn’t compete. That is just about all I got accomplished.

Well, after watching my daughter’s soccer team finally win in a shootout after a double overtime, we had less than 1 hour to do the meet and get back to our doggie daycare. After my GPS failed me and cost us another 20, we were really pushed! I finished the whole thing in about 40 minutes I think, maybe less. I was happy with what I did, but nothing to write home about in any of the lifts!
That was a great post Dan, lol

Dan – GREAT POST!!! Love the pics!
Chad, Scott and myself got the postal done on Sat (we really pushed the deadline!). Nothing too great on my part with the lifts – but had fun doing it. Al
