0930: Joey weighs in, an almost 70s Big 181lbs WOW
1130: Eric and Joe R weigh in, Eric 88kg and Joe R 96kg
1130 to 1400: Sleeping, eating, grab-ass
1400 to 1900:
Joey warms up and hits his first snatch at 71kg (easy), Joey feels good and hits his second snatch at 75kg, Gary asks Joey what he wants to do and Joey says "fuck it" and goes for a PR on his third attempt. Joey just misses his nemesis 83kg snatch
Clean and Jerk time for the 85kg class, Joey hits an easy 106kg C&J and than a 110kg C&J on his second attempt. We tell Joey that he needs to rock the house and kill a 115kg third attempt. Joey nails his third attempt and new PR at 115kg. He ended with a meet total of 190kg and a fourth place finish in the 85kg class.
94kg and above weight class begins, Eric hit a solid 70kg opener, but missed his next two attempt at 75kg. Joe R made all three snatch attempts, hitting 71kg, 75kg and 81kg. Moving to the Clean and Jerk, the day is getting long and Eric and Joe R are on their fifth cups of coffee. Eric moves his opener up from 92kg to 95kg, telling Gary and Joey that he wants to hit 100kg on his second attempt and then go from there. Joey gives Eric his usual words of advise "Do it".
Eric then makes his 95kg and 100kg attempts easy and wants to go for 101kg for his final attempt, but Gary has already told the judges his 3rd attempt will be 102kg. Gary tells Eric, "to late now, haha, don't be a pussy and get under it". Joey slaps Eric in the back and Eric then nails an easy 102kg C&J and new PR. Eric finished with a 172kg total. Joe R nails his first C&J at 105kg and then has to wait a long time until his 2nd attempt at 110kg, Joe R makes his 2nd attempt, however he was red flagged for a push-out in the jerk. Joe R finishes with a 186kg total.
