Couple things i'd comment on -looks like your knees cave in on the pull -try to keep your butt down and lower back tight, chest up You look like you're good for a lot more weight, just need to work on that speed and flexibility so you can catch it lower and put up some bigger numbers. Dimsum are you comin to the MDUSA open lift? | ||

Dimsum are you comin to the MDUSA open lift? Also maybe widen out your starting stance a bit. Pull looks pretty good! Decaf im going! I'm also bringing a bunch of people from my gym. | ||

Right now where I'm staying for the month I have this superawesome(no seriously the best thing ever) gym pretty much next door and I plan on going 5-6 times a week. So I was wondering if anyone could recommend some lighter intensity workouts for my offdays | ||

Rehab exercises and stretching too. | ||

Judging from the video I'd say you'll get it. No major technical flaws, excellent jerk skills, and you were last out on the c+j until the A teamers came out. I'm guessing the guy who backsquats 250kgx2 @77 is the one who comes out at 46 seconds on the c+j video, but idk if they'll take him his technique was quite far behind. | ||

Anyway, I'd assume given that Decaf is 6'1, I could imagine they would ask him to be a superheavy, don't even know if -105kg would be enough for him. He really looks slim compared to other weightlifters. Maybe if he is on the smaller end of 6'1... use centimeters for heaven's sake  | ||

From what i can tell, travis cooper definitely got a spot on the a-team, they seemed interested in the guy in the red singlet who lifted about the same as me (except he weighs 15kg less than me lol), and glenn didn't say a word to me lol. The only girl there who would make it wasn't there to try out just to lift. Apparently they'll be sending e-mails out and shit over the next week. Going by sinclair, depending on what the super heavy weight was weighing we had about the same score and he's currently on the b team. | ||

But hey, if you're serious about it then by all means! Any sport is great and with time and diligence you can do well! Just take the time to really perfect technique before you try and add on those extra plates  Edit ** after reading a lot of posts I realize many are experienced lifters! If you disagree with what I said feel free to state your opinions! I'm into powerlifting so oly lifting is not my forte. | ||
