I have still been training really hard and benched 50kg last week which is a personal best for a long time coming. Last benched that much when I weight 68kg and I now weigh in at 60kg. 10kg to go and I can bench my own weight which is supposed to be what I am supposed to be able to bench. It is much easier on a machine than with free weights but I will stick to free weights as this is a far more accurate gauge of true strength.
This weekend that passed (2 April), Danie, Ryno and I went to Bloemfontein to do another Referee course and to tie up a few loose ends regarding our upcoming Nationals. We pulled in a small local competition while we were there. I fell out on the right arm but made a SWEET comeback on the left and took first place!
Two of my competitors tipped the scales at 100kg+ but I gave them a good run for their money and am happy with the weekends pulling. Also did a lot of training and pulling before and after the competition to ensure I don't waste a single second of training before our Nationals end April.
This weekend coming will be our last major training session, which will be taking place in Witbank next to the dam. There will be a lot of sore arms, blisters and no doubt a little fishing and braaivleis afterwards so that we can all bond and wind down in preparation for our biggest and this year most amazing event ever.
Here is a few photos of my toughest opponents at this weekend's armwrestling below.
