I was hesitant to make this video because I am SO bad at Olympic lifting. But for me the joy is not in being good, but in doing the work to get better. Huge THANKS to Coach Josh who has been coaching me on these lifts for the last three months. I will continue to work hard and improve! Wishing you all a ton of success with your own fitness goals. Keep in mind that results are important, but so is enjoying the process!!

The snatch looked better than I expected knowing your shoulder mobility issues and how much you struggled with an overhead snatch grip squat in other videos. Keep at it, Olympic lifts have always been my favourite!

I started lifting 10 months ago. I'm just now totaling around 140 kg @ 75kg, doing my best despite the responsibilities of a job and family. It's awesome watching you get outside your comfort zone with Olympic lifts.

First off, welcome to the dark side. This sport gets in you and it never leaves. It literally changed and saved my life, and has taken me to competitions all over the world. More than that, it's provided me an opportunity to lead by example for my daughter, who is a budding gymnast. Also, the crew at Eastside are phenomenal. Tell them Mike from Miami says hi!!

I know how insane that is . DD is a beast. I was 240lbs in College, and I messed around with snatch and Cleans. My best Snatch was only 225 lbs, and my best clean and press was only 300lbs. It's very challenging once you get to your own body weight.
@catinabox3048
@catinabox3048 10 ай бұрын
That's interesting that your elbows are bent at full extension. Mine do too, but about 30 degrees in the other direction. I've seen plenty of others with hypermobile joints, but none that bend back quite as much as mine do. Which also makes me hate the term "locking out" because mine when locked can't hold much weight. If I'm going to be putting anything more than 5 pounds in each hand, my joints have to be STRAIGHT, not locked, in order to avoid injury. I don't do Olympic lifting, but I do have to put effort into keeping my arms straight and to avoid locking them when doing things like bench presses, overhead presses, and pushups.

Not sure if you realized you were lifting at one of the top weightlifting gyms in the country. World champion masters athletes, walks of medals all around. While you were warming up and filming your content, you missed some of the strongest women in the country lifting right next to you. Too bad you missed the opportunity to really take it all in.
