When I first started olympic weightlifting in November of 2013 the lifetime goal I set for myself
was a 100k clean and jerk. Since I had never been naturally gifted with
strength I thought 100k would take years. Turns out it only took me 8 months
of training and it happened at my 2nd weightlifting tournament. Since I accomplished that goal
I've set my eyes on 4 more.
1) break all 3 of the 105k+ weight class 40-44 age group New
Mexico state weightlifting records by early 2015.
2) get down to the 105k weight class by
late 2015 or early 2016.
3) break all 3 of the 105k weight class 40-44 age
group New Mexico state weightlifting records.
4) Get down to the 194k weight class in the year 2016 or 2017.
5) Break all three of the 94k weight class 40-44 age group New Mexico state weightlifting records by early 2015.
The records for the 105 and the 94k
weight class 40-44 age group are similar in weight and are both very high. They are as follows:
105k weight class:
95k
snatch held by Doug Briggs since 1999
122k clean and jerk held by Doug Briggs since 2000
215k total held by Doug Briggs since 1999
94k weight class:
100K snatch held by Jim Snyder since 2005
117.5k clean and jerk held by Jim Snyder since 2005
217.5k total held by Jim Snyder since 2005
