Yesterday I had the privilege of traveling to downtown Philadelphia with Andrew Marquez for his first weight lifting competition. I have done several Crossfit competitions over the past few years but this was one of the coolest things I have seen. In typical crossfit fashion everyone was welcoming, helpful and cheered each other on to the finish. Andrew had a great day and finished 3rd place with a total of 225kg (snatch 95kg/209lbs clean & jerk 130kg/286lbs). We made big jumps on his 3rd attempt each time and he barely missed. It was a great experience and I encourage you to check one of these out...the amount of pressure/energy when you step on that stage is pure adrenaline rush and Andrew did a great job of staying composed and giving it 100%. Please congratulate Andrew next time you see him in the gym...and make sure he gets in his conditioning along with his lifting :) A special thanks also goes out to Owen McAteer at Shenandoah Crossfit for his help and sharing his knowledge with us this weekend. Here is a video of Andrews 130kg C&J
