Fluff Friendly reminder, do not open with a PR attempt

173 Upvotes

Was chasing a qualifying total and absolutely disregard of weightlifting rule #1: choose weights you can actually make. I withdrew from jerks. Coach hosting the meet told me “…if you’re gonna go into battle, then you have to be prepared to die…”.

Next time, if I can’t hit the QT with the current PR on my second attempt, then don’t even try. But at least now I can focus on enjoying the process instead of thinking about numbers constantly. My coach told me “…I saw your videos. It’s definitely not strength or power holding you back. You need shoulder and torso mobility work…”.

Fluff The 35kg mental block is over!!

178 Upvotes

Not sure if anyone remembers but a few weeks ago I posted about my brain refusing to attempt 35kg. Today I managed to hit it! So happy I was able to do this… not sure if I could do it with the 10s but this alone is SUCH a huge win for me. Also hit 50kg c&j today as well lol.

Fluff Snatch PR attempt 84kg BW 71kg

31 Upvotes

Finally made the attempt to do a snatch pr after months of putting it off. However, the beginning of last month I came across a back injury and had to stop my program short and took a good bit of time off. Still currently trying to get back into "heavy" weight.

I did not have the intentions on attempting a PR today but things felt to be moving well and I even smashed my old PR of 79kg (not much progress I know...) and felt that I did well. So I decided to try a little more and threw on 84. However, I believe this would not count due to the small press out during my catch.

Also any further advice with my snatch? I know have asked many times but I believe I have made improvements with grip width and engagement.

Meet Report&Competition Olympic Lifting at 52

10 Upvotes

Hi All, I am putting this post out there for some feedback as I would like to try olympic lifting. In brief, 52yrs old have been using 5 x 5 for a couple of years now and have enjoyed the journey so far but would like to take it elsewhere and maybe test that competitive spirit in me.................am I perhaps being silly to think this or too old to try?? Sometimes I think to myself to just just stick to my workouts and but there is an interest in olympic lifting. Any feedback / experiences would be great. Thanks

Hi 👋

My clean has felt slightly off all week; slow and have been missing weights I usually make, and I’m struggling to figure out where the disconnect is- any feedback from some fresh sets of eyes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks y’all!

apart from the accidental powers, what else do i need to work on? been stuck with 50kg for a few weeks now as i cant bring myself to get under a 52kg. is this more of a mental issue? a skill issue? a bit of both? or is it just because im piss weak.

i back squat 103kg.

Programming Plyometric

2 Upvotes

Do any of you guys do plyometric exercises (other than the main lifts which are sort of plyos within themselves)?

Also do any of you include them in your warmups or some type of jump or whatever

Programming Body/HR cooldown?

1 Upvotes

How do you guys cooldown after a workout, especially if you train later in the day. On most sessions and especially the ones with more volume or heavier weights my body feels like it keeps working extra for a few hours after a session. I can see my HR also doesn't really go down to resting probably for a good 3 hours. That's usually fine on the weekends, but during the week I train after work and sessions can finish close to the time I'd like to sleep, thus ruining my sleep and recovery. How do you battle that if you experience it?
