Weightlifting so far has been awesome! There's just something about being able to move big weights up over your head

Amen to that .

 

The club I'm at is fairly small, maybe 40 members. The thing about the place is that you have to compete in order to train there, which is actually nice, because now I don't have to bother with douchebags curling in the squat rack or people telling me not to squat below parallel

40 members is small in denmark? That's bigger than all clubs in sweden. I no little about danish weightlifting, are there any international level lifters?

 

How about your, bronco, do you compete?

Yes, I did some comps two years ago and now I have just taken it up again. Comps are great fun .

The club recently got fused with a PL club, so that's why we got so many members I'd say we're about 10 active WLers, the rest are PLers. Denmark haven't had any international level lifters for a loooong time, I think the last great lifter we had was Niels Petersen who won 1st in the 1949 European Championships Unlimited class.

Back from vacation

 

Clean day! Lots of cleans/power cleans, clean pulls mixed with front squats and core work.

 

My coach is really impressed with my technique and strength Also, he nicknamed me Bomben (The bomb) because apparently I'm explosive as fuck. Needless to say, I'm really proud and more motivated than ever

Clean day!

 

Power cleans, clean high pulls and regular C&Js. Finished it all off with some front squats and core work.

 

Gotta get me some straps, cause all these high pulls are ripping the shit out of my hands.

It's cool to see you've taken up Olympic lifting

 

Are you going to start listing the weights you lift? Or is it just technique work at the moment? Good luck with it all!

 

It's a combination of adding weight and learning the technique. My coach is of the philosophy, that whirling a stick or bar around isn't going to give you a feel of the lift, so we add weight slowly until flaws start to emerge, and then stay there till it's corrected

You can't be snatching very heavy if you only need 1 days rest inbetween Only joking Glad you're enjoying it man!

 

 

Haha, true though. The snatch is a ridiculously technical lift, so for the time being I'm going light and getting the kinks sorted out
