Tim is now doing a 110kg/242# clean pull lift. He is doing that to get ready to be able to do heavier lifts over his head. He really wants to bring home gold at Nationals this year. He wants to outlift his competition. And he wants to shock and awe all the coaches and judges at the competition. His words not ours. He is laser focused on what he wants in this sport and he loves that it's a measurable sport and he can make a plan for gains to beat his competitors. He is also really wanting to be able to beat Hamps record before he ages out of youth next year. He has until the end of 2025 to do that though. I really hope his coach knows what he's in for with Tim. He's very driven and focused. He's learning Tim and how motivated he is. Tim really wants to be able to put it in the face of his old sparring coach of how majorly he screwed up when he thought that he could treat Tim any old way and he would just take it. That is not our son and never has been. We've raised him better than to take crap from anyone. That coach will regret how he treated our son!!! It's just a matter of time and Tim accomplishing his goals in weightlifting. Coach Jarrod believes Tim could represent USA in the 2032 Olympics. It's been Tim's dream since I can remember to be able to go to the Olympics someday and represent our country. Tim's sport has changed but his dream hasn't changed. He's still pushing towards that goal and he can really see the potential for being able to go to the Olympics with weightlifting which he didn't see that happening with sparring. Here's a pic and video from last nights training session where he did the 110kg/242# clean pull:
