Sarah Bertram and Jessica Gee got 1st in the 69’s and 4th in the 63’s, respectively, at Nationals this year. Both of them are from here in Oregon.
Both are also coached by Tom Hirtz, a legend in his own right. My club competes against their club all the time, and it’s fantastic to see the two of them doing so well. They both work extremely hard, and are genuinely cool people. Congratulations!
Here’s a news story about them from KEZI news Eugene, OR. It includes shot of them practicing, and interviews.

OK, now it’s time for a Summer “off season” routine. The purpose is to heal up a bit, add some muscle, condition your body (ie, lose some excess fat) and take a (slight) break from the constant pounding of heavy Oly lifts.

And, I know, we’ve got curls in there, but they have their place (especially for shoulder rehab at the biceps insertion, a common place for tendinitis) … just don’t do them in the power rack!
