Girl, do you even lift?

233 · 23 Nov 2013 at 12:12

As it happens my daughter does

Was competing for the first time today

Good
Lifts all day culminating in this 15kg attempt

She's only been lifting for 3 months so really
Proud of the enthusiasm and commitment she's putting into this certainly going to be an encouragement for me to get my backside in gear and get back lifting

Nice! she will be out lifting you in no time

Does she have a good coach?

mrthingyx · 23 Nov 2013 at 12:21

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

Mr-White · 23 Nov 2013 at 12:24

I first thought those were 20kgs on each end

She's only been lifting 3 months but the club she's in have a good reputation her coach is a decent guy and from my (very) limited knowledge seems to know what he's doing I used to work with an ex scottish champion power lifter so might drop him a mail and pick his brains

How old is she?

Awesome!

233 · 23 Nov 2013 at 14:02

She's only 9

Great work. I bet you're super proud! Good on you for supporting her on a different type of exercise!

I'm sure you could get a pair imported from China. 9 would be a late start over there

Other than the micro plates, Oly ones are all the same size, I think.

Big day today got a very nervous daughter currently waiting to go up

Proper plates are all the same size, just different width.

Good luck, hope she does well

It of a disaster today

Pulled a muscle on the first snatch of the day

Retired after the 2nd still it's all about the taking part

Currently watching the youth groups Christ some of these young guys are putting some serious weights up not even started shaving and some of them are lifting. North of 90 clicks on the clean and jerk christ I feel so unfit
