man, reading through this thread kinda makes me wanna try it out. although the gym at my apartment doesnt have any barbells....
and i wont have time to anyways, since i'm using my spare time for table tennis. but still, reading about olympic lifting in this thread makes me interested. guess it's similar to how a lot of people like to watch and read about certain sports, but not actually do it themselves.

You can start with a wooden stick for fun I can recommend some good videos if you like to watch competitions.

feel free to post em dimsum, i love watching people stretching the limits of the human body. the first time i was really exposed to oly lifting was when i watched the 2008 olympics, but i didn't think much of it at the time. i came across oly lifting in TLHF not too long ago, and it made me appreciate watching the weightlifters at the 2012 olympics a lot more.

kovu, i already spend my extra free time practicing table tennis, and unfortunately, my love for table tennis exceeds my curiosity of trying out oly lifting. if i had even more free time, i certainly would just play even more table tennis hahaha

Technique has been feeling much much better. Especially on the jerk and the snatch. I'm now bending my back foot on the jerk a lot better. I still lose balance sometimes though, but it's getting there - I added some jerk position lunges with lightish weight on rest days just to get more secure at that deep split position. The snatch, goddamn. I don't have vid but I used to kind of swing the bar and it would make me take a little jump forward. Now I actually land on the same spot or a little bit backwards. Pull also feels a lot stronger. Placing chalk marks on the floor had helped a ton with foot placement. Gonna be snatching 60kg soon oh yeah big weights haha

I like this one because I like power and squat jerkers.

Out of curiosity, after the MuscleDriver tryouts, did they approach you afterwards/ how went the communication wit them afterwards? I assume you didn't make the team (well, I am smart, am I not), but just if you had any communication worth mentioning with Pendlay and co. after the tryouts.

Nope, never heard a word from them despite hitting the same Sinclair as their heavyweight. Makes sense I guess cause they're stacked at my weight class. Guess I was the cutoff because everyone else above me got invited to go train. I would've been nice to hear SOMETHING back but oh well. I'll just keep crushing lifts and see them at the American open.

Well, that sucks. Should not have been that much work to write 10 emails to the guys that didn't make it. And I don't really understand it though, you are pretty young and had a nice performance there. Cannot really imagine that they weren't interested at all.
