What It Takes To Be A Good Weightlifter.

[@audi_trains]

Could you make a video on Masters weightlifter/weightlifting? Not a lot videos on the older weightlifter.

[@GON.Lifting]

Are you interested in a professional weightlifter, or just a WL enthusiast? I know 'someone' who is in the Masters category, but not a professional lifter. He has a family, full time job, doesn't always eat or sleep at 100%, and still finds time to go every day to lift weights :) while he documents his journey on this platform. Shout out also to Dylan here, who inspires a lot of athletes, and keeps it real; not promoting false bulls%*t and expectations on his channel 💪👏

[@audi_trains]

Probably more on the WL enthusiasts? I think most Masters athletes are enthusiasts not professional weightlifter that's a very small slice of the WL community. Probably I speaking more of the ex-athlete that uses WL as a transitional sport/interest. Not a lot YT videos speaking on Masters athletes journey thru the sport whether coaches, athletes, both or enthusiasts.

@@GON.Liftingsounds like me LOL except I don’t put content on KZbin Dozer wanna interview me?

[@Joshtera]

That mindset applies to everything in life

[@Legendaryrichelieu]

You’re a real one Dylan. ❤

[@1o1ufail]

I love videos like these were you are talking about a topic in detail. Keep up the good work!

[@crazybluelemur5738]

Been lax on nutrition lately. Needed to hear this today. Thanks Dozer.

[@micromashington]

I love the delusional confidence piece, but how do you get yourself to think like that naturally? Also, any tips for lifting around chronic knee pain? I’ve been making it work for a while now but it’s started to affect my training.

[@fireforgedathletics]

I can’t agree more. Great video man. I lift for South Africa and am currently doing rehab on a shoulder dislocation. My question is: When would be the right time to hang up the lifters?

[@possiblypoet]

What a casually stellar video

[@NoMoTheUFO]

Great video! Appreciate your wisdom because this video is very important. 🔥🔥🔥

[@user-yg6tw9er1w]

Thanks for the rundown!

[@bigguy4u989]

just got my wisdom teeth pulled. i’m so pissed that i can’t pipe heavy weights for a while.

[@Calvinlackey81kg]

I feel like the social media and athlete experience can be separated. like if you let the outcomes of meets or performance control your emotions or view of yourself it can get really hard. Then again I have like 5 meets under my belt and a 95% make rate😂 probably something that I will deal with when more misses happen on the platform.

[@Watchingvids01]

Agreed! This is why social media fitness influencers are more popular than athletes

[@KuyaDreww]

About to be all about biting and no barking

[@kevinmccredie4466]

Wait…no to rice crispy treats!?!?

[@itsm1tch444]

iv currently been powerlifiting for 2 years and have gotten a 525kg total at 74kg and 20 years old, weight lifitng looks really fun and i want to try it...but it is worth the risk to swap sports and maybe become successful in it or should i try my chances and keep powerlifing. (iv been debating this foor quite sometime)

[@Pi03k]

Cool video. Something different.

[@enisbobani5761]

what do you think about squatting 6-8 times per week?

[@SaidWLYT]

I like to pretend im clarence kennedy when i lift does that count as delusional confidence or pure delusion.

[@jacobechols322]

Hi

[@ayushkamat5603]

what do you think are achievable numbers for an average (natty / not genetically gifted) weightlifter?

[@bigguy4u989]

male? 120/150. female? 80/100.

[@alubchicken]

@@bigguy4u989 not genetically gifted? male maybe only 100/125, female around 60/80 - that's taking into account that many people will never have developed an efficient technical model that works for their body. Even the least genetically gifted male will be able to squat 200 in their lifetime but snatch 120? probably not as they would need very good technique, unless they weigh 130kg.

[@michaelt126]

@@alubchicken I may never back squat 200 but i will snatch 120, im at 125kg and 80kg (respectively, currently. squatting 200kg is massive imo. might be skewed as im a skinny bish at 6'4" (194cm) but still, 200kg is wild

[@bigguy4u989]

@@alubchicken this is provided they start before their 30s and have a coach and avoid serious injury. most don’t stay consistent enough or have all those things go their way, but i’m convinced that an “average” individual could hit those numbers naturally.

[@rustysausage69]

Nobody is genetically gifted in weightlifting. Great genetics won't do anything for you if you don't have enough time under your belt and technique. Not gonna call you out directly but a lot of folks cry genetics while they eat like trash, recover like trash, and have a trash workout regimen. Biggest thing is time, but what can speed that up is a very athlete specific program and wanting it. Keep in mind some of the idol weightlifters out there started when they were exceedingly young. Sonny webster started at 10, Clarence kennedy started at 14.

[@xanderking1926]

I got everything you're talking about except the genetics haha

At what point do you move from delusional confidence to just delusion?

Stop wearing a hat inside a closed space is a step towards being better in anything you want
