After 12 weeks, I quietly hit a milestone today. There amidst a crowded gym, I surpassed my long-time bodyweight snatch goal of 75 kg. I weighed in tonight at 158 lbs and snatched 170 lbs (77.5 kg).
Watching Olympic athletes lift almost twice my weight underscores the human body's amazing capacity. Now, I'm no Olympian, but with training, I can certainly lift more.
The 2009 Senior Nationals is in York, PA next year. My new goal is to qualify and participate.
