one hundred conventional polar to a eight hundred pound.
uh sumo puller.
But nonetheless, I was disappointed in that bench press call for Jess, cause it could have been the difference be her between her pulling decided less and maybe getting a podium spot in eighty fours.
So even if that is like I I I wanna go for broke, you don't need to do that on your opener, right?
And I I think just let let's just let's think about what two sixty really means for Sonita here.
Like that was what she finished with at twenty twenty five Sheffield.
And this is was she opened with it.
This is the heaviest opener she's ever done.
And I think, you know, y you mentioned maybe she felt that pressure and she's gotta get to many kilos in total based upon her um, you know, relatively aggressive third squat attempt.
I think the clearest indicator that they felt that was the deadlift opener decision.
Which
You know, uh deadlifts are are hit and miss once you start getting into that two sixty or higher range for Sonita.
Um, whether that's size, grip, you know, just like like she's clearly got the strength, but that that that lockout's tough.
And I I just don't think there is ever a world where opening on two sixty.
That's that's not true.
Currently with Sunita's strength levels, I don't think two hundred sixty is an appropriate deadlift opener.
And it it's I I I really struggled to understand that that decision, even if the conversation was let's go for broke.
Like, you know, you you you dial it back just a little bit and then there is a chance.
But I think that is a huge gamble.
I didn't think the squat attempt was that unreasonable, personally.
