80 lb snatch (up from 75 lbs)
120 lb clean & jerk (up from 110 lbs)
205 lb back squat (up from 190 lbs)
105 lb overhead squat (up from 95 lbs)
And then there's Snatchsquatch... 75 lbs achieved! It was hideous enough to shatter mirrors, but I did it!

Black and White Warbler
After a rather satisfying day in Barbell Club at my second home, which included multiple snatches at 65 and 70 lbs as well as comfortably doing three consecutive 145 lb back squats (approximately 75% of my 1RM), I made a new friend...
This little guy was flopping around on the ground while lying on his back, and if I hadn't been careful, he could have ended up in far worse shape. I knelt down to investigate, and next thing I knew, he decided to perch on my hand. He stayed there for a good 10 minutes before flying up onto a ledge above the box entrance.
The little guy rested up there for another 5-10 minutes before flying off into the evening sky. Hopefully he made it home all right after his little accident with a window. My guess is that his prognosis is pretty good because his wings appeared to be fully functional, even if he needed some time and a bit of clearance from predators and klutzes!

Fenrir Prep 1/n
I've got quite a way to go in preparing for Fenrir's Mayhem this year, but I stand a chance of being not-bottom 5, assuming my allergies and respiratory system cooperate with me.
I'm starting to build up on my Snatchsquatch complex, which is three iterations of snatch grip deadlift, hang squat snatch, snatch balance, and overhead squat. All movements have to be unbroken, even if pauses are allowed. I still have some issues with getting under the bar faster as well as losing some power at the knees as I transition from first to second pull. This is only at 55 lbs, but I need to be able to do all three iterations at 75 lbs to get the points at Fenrir's Mayhem.
And then there's the Berserker complex, which is two iterations of deadlift, hang squat clean, front squat, shoulder to overhead, back squat, and behind the head shoulder to overhead. Like the Snatchsquatch complex, all movements have to be unbroken. This is only 85 lbs, 30 lbs shy of the requirement for the scaled female division. This is a much longer stretch for me, given my current 1RM on any form of shoulder to overhead is 110 lbs.
