[@fizzybossyt8675]

What you said at the end really resonated with me. People are confused when they see me eager and excited to go into work. Most people just act miserably with certain things. Whether with children or with work there's something to be earned. In terms of a job, there are great connections to be had and lots to learn. I tell people to not take work so seriously and try their best to have fun. And this is coming from a guy with depression. I'm very happy that you are spreading these messages because even if it's only one or two people that internalize it, these are lives you are changing forever

[@fauge7]

There's enjoyment and positivity in almost everything we do.. It's up to us to find it. I agree that a lot of people are just miserable, that is generally because something is wrong with their own life.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

I’m retired now but used to be a fork lift opp in warehouses and there were a lot of people who took no pride in their work. Some just wanted to stay on the truck all day, we had multiple tasks to perform , others spent a lot of time on their phones.

[@HkFinn83]

Ok that’s a nice attitude but this strongly depends on the kind of work you’re doing

[@Alohahawkeye]

As a father of five I can tell you fatherhood is the most challenging, rewarding, difficult, life changing, and humbling thing I’ve experienced in my life. Every day. Excited for you.

[@vredneckv]

Your back leg is straight and locked out almost all of the time, which is a big issue in the split jerk because it forces you to go all over the front leg instead of keeping it vertical. It also limits how deep you can get in the split. Foot position in general is not good in the split. But other than that it looks really solid for the first time considering it was an axle, and that you're not super mobile in shoulders.

[@bdegrds]

Have you split jerked 405? How long have you been lifting? How many world championships have you won?

[@yoeyyoey8937]

Great observation. Imagine how much more he could do if he didn’t have to press the bar

[@sbdftw1702]

Yeah, I’m not an Olympic guy and have no experience with those movements but he definitely looked stiff. Which is due to his strongman and powerlifting history. Lats, delts, pecs all get tight af.

[@scottishmanlaffey]

So glad someone mentioned this already came to the comments to say the same thing. Specially that back leg being locked out and not up on the toes was killing me.

[@MrSpwn]

I'm a father of two and I had a friend a while ago get pregnant with their first and he asked me how being a dad was. What I told him was: "You will never truly understand your capacity to love until you see your first born, and you'll never truly understand how your capacity to love can grow until you see your second". Stoked for you both Mitch! Being a dad is a lot of fun! You honestly don't remember any of the bad parts (only the bad parts that are funny later like horrible poop stories). Like you said, you know what sacrifices are made becoming a parent and you want it, and it's worth it :)

[@machine060994]

Hey Mitch My babygirl was born in may this year. I have to say it is the most wonderful experience being a dad. Nothing better coming home from a long productive day at work and seeing your child smiling at you. Enjoy every day with her 💪😊

[@M1keDaly]

I like how your training is so well rounded. Heavy split Jerks followed by some hypertrophy chest and tricep isolation work. Had good laugh when you were talking about the breast milk. Oh and 100% agree with you about what your looking forward too. Grandchildren are the next thing I'm looking forward to someday if any of my children decide to be parents.

[@xAbsoluteThor]

I felt the need to comment and I 100% agree with you looking forward to your child regardless of all the people talking about how hard it is. My daughter just turned 6 months old and I don’t miss any of the sleep I didn’t get, or regret how hard it has been. It has been the best blessing for my wife and me and has honestly brought us so much closer. Enjoy the classes, take your time and slow down. Take the extra time to be home with your wife after the birth. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@iliakumaraku]

Ill go through some tips while watching so ill be editing this. If you want a youtuber to watch i reccomend gabriel sincrain 1-When you finish the split jerk you come back with your front foot and then the back foot,not the back foot then front foot like how you were doing it 2-the bar has to rest on your shoulders.That way the jerk dip will actually translate to raw force to the bar rather than being limited by your weakest muscles,your arms.If you cant get a full grip fingertips are just fine,arms relaxed kind of like ropes but at the same time you want some tension.During the jerk dip the bar needs to be locked as tight as it can on the shoulders so it doesnt crash and lose power,the acceleration deceleration and the acceleration back up have to be smooth in order for the bar not to crash,arms relaxed no input on the bar.When the bar is nearing the highest point you should already be down and thats when you lock your arms.Also you could push yourself down with the arms but its more complex technique,learn that much later. 3-Your front leg seemed to be too short forward.Opt for a vertical shin angle and dont let your knee go over the toes easily,have tension or you wont be strong enough(plant it willingly) Edit:You look like your resting the bar on your torso but you need to be able to do it with an empty normal barbell,because most likely you will have a lot of tension in your arms limiting power output.Also rest the bar on your shoulders not the clavicles because you will be blocked for air.Keep the back tight but lift the shoulders a bit until it fully rests on your shoulders,it will also be easier to hold with your hands. I cant not see you from the side but also during the jerk dip you keep pressure with a whole foot and you bend at the knees only torso straight. With higher weight your back leg also seemed to be straight and with a short leg forward it caused to go a little over,keep the back leg relaxed but also strong,its only for balance and rougly 40% of the weight(you want more of the weight on your forward leg) Edit 2:During the emom workout,if we go weightlifting rules they wouldnt count because you would press the last bit,but its much easier to fix Edit 3:You mentioned wrist position being uncomfortable at 8:50,i cant tell from the front but they should not be straight up,obviously not forward, but they shouldnt also be relaxed completely.You should keep them at a slight angle,kind of like 45 degrees where theyre active and you dont put pressure on the joint but also back so the centre of mass of the bar goes over your head easier

[@overbehindunder]

It's kinda crazy you're doing this with an axle bar, with no whip assist from a traditional 20kg barbell... also - just be careful with your back foot pointing out, ideal would be having the back foot point *in* a little, with the heel off the floor. If you couple that, with allowing the back knee to bend (it's locking out), you'll be able to access all the benefits of the split position, by allowing the back knee to drop, lowering your recieving position for when you're 200kg+. hope this helps, big fan of yours.

[@jaypeppone3477]

Man great achievement! Really good mind muscle connection. Very strategic - the setup, posture, taking the breath before each rep and holding it in - almost perfectly the same each rep - you will be / stay very consistent that way !

[@5055672439]

Martins is really good at incorporating Olympic movement patterns into his lifts. You should train with him at some point… but be careful, he’s also a slippery bastard.

I think it’s a good idea to train the split jerk for strongman. I do strongman, but i’m a bit on the lighter side. So i need all the technique advantages i can get. Plus i just enjoy training the olympic lifts once a week for explosiveness and fun. It does a lot for me though, now i’m starting to use the split jerk on the log too. It’s difficult, but i can feel it’s going to help me a lot.

[@mozzer920]

Mitchell- being a parent/new parent is the greatest thing ever- I went a decade with less than 5 hours of sleep a night but I wish I could do it all over again- I was always one of the parents that enjoyed every second- played all the time with my kids, , out on the playground in the morning school drop off playing tag etc.. and yes, there is a lot of bad parents out there.

[@dougloden5203]

Haven't read all the comments, so maybe someone has already mentioned these points: Your dip gets better at heavier weights because the bar is resting on your shoulders, not in your hands, so your hips aren't as in front of the bar in the dip. Generally your hips should drop slightly back, like you're initiating a front squat, when you dip, and you should try to get as comfortable with having the bar (and your shoulders) in front of your hips in the rack position. Of course, this being an axle, and you being so large, makes this difficult, but it would help. Your drive is quite good - most cut their drive too short before trying to get under the bar. However, you're rushing your split too much. Everyone else has harped on a good split position, so I won't, but you may find it easier to get into a good position if you focus in getting as tall as possible in your drive, and then - instead of planting your feet as quickly as possible and pushing up on the bar - using the bar to push yourself down as you split. The best jerk lockout occurs when the feet hit the floor at the same time as the elbows lock out. Of course, you don't need to worry about lockout, but it should help your split. The other thing that may not be obvious is that ones split position is heavily affected by their overhead position. In your case, because your shoulders have to be in front of your head, your spine extends to keep your shoulders above your hips, which results in more tension on the front of your hips, compromising your hip extension. Your rear leg turning out like it does is a good indicator for extension compensation. Not to say that you won't be able to improve your split position by training it, but, if you hit a wall with it, your overhead position may be why. Finally, if you start trying to improve your jerk from this strong starting point, it will probably start to feel like you're regressing as you go on. Everyone who tries Weightlifting after being proficient at a different strength sport knows the feeling! The movement patterns that got you to this point are not the ones that will enable you to jerk the most weight. So, if you're trying to use this in comp, you may be better off NOT trying to improve your technique. Which hurts a little to say, since I wish more people were good at Weightlifting, but that's not your goal, is it? Good luck!

[@22448824]

Trying to get a long throw up on the toes for the jerk is outdated. Tying to reach high on tiptoes is a very weak movement and delays going down to receive the jerk. As well as having to go down further from a higher point. I think everyone does this intuitively. It’s just that trying to get the bar as high as possible initially makes sense. The same goes for the pull in the snatch and clean. Time lost in going down to catch the lift is not a worthwhile sacrifice for bar height.

[@manuelmoreira8575]

Great insight about parenting! I got my kid at 23, totally non planned, and that was exactly my attitude! It's a challenge, and for sure I will love it (both the challenge and my beautiful daughter)! :D

I'd definitely get a coach for oly lifting. you could definitely use them as effective techniques after a few months. I would also religiously work on shoulder mobility at this point, you're a bit stiff (naturally so, most people who don't regularly do this and follow a 'regular' strength program are) and takes a while for people to be able to fully open up the shoulders, from my experience.

Thanks for the video, I totally agree with you regarding the negativity around becoming a parent. Of course all children are different and experiences may vary but the last year since my daughter was born has been the best year of my live. The amount of sleep I got the first month was more than I slept since the age of 10. Also just got back to work from 6 months of paid parental leave, lives in Sweden :)

[@bassert2816]

Amazing 180kg split Jerk. First off: I can't do that. But you asked for tips, so here they are. Your back foot should be on the toe. Don't flat-foot it. That way you can get your hips lower. Your front foot should be more forward, so that your knee doesn't travel in front of your foot. The front of the knee should be slightly behind the heel which will improve the stability.

[@masongroehler-uo9kg]

Bro I jerked 207kg weighing 71kg at the time a multiple time national champ/record holder. If you’d like to get proficient at the split jerk hit me up! 180 is good but you could realistically do 215-225kg easy with proper training on it. Let’s collab!

[@mmmzzzzzzz]

Impressive how natural he is at this. You can see with light weights he is recovering by stepping forward with the back foot, which isn't really the "correct" thing to do. But as weights get heavier, he just naturally starts doing the right thing and steps back with the front foot. Even among high level strength athletes it is not that common to have people so in tune with movement that they just do the right thing without much (or any) instruction.
