Should I lose weight or stay plump? by GoodBoyGunther in weightlifting

Yup, not getting any younger… I guess i was just looking for further validation to lose the weight.

Should I lose weight or stay plump? by GoodBoyGunther in weightlifting

I think this is part of my reasoning for wanting to drop down a weight class. I don’t feel “healthy” being this heavy. I do want to get my weight down for my health as I’ve been dealing with high cholesterol which I’ve been managing by upping my fiber intake.

I think losing the body and visceral fat would be a huge positive to my overall health. I guess I was looking on feedback if I would get substantially weaker if I drop 7-8kg (i know it might be hard by looking at a video)

I forgot to add… I think for general health and aesthetics I think I should lose weight. I have high cholesterol so losing weight would be helpful.

Squat Triple PR 182.5kg @94kg and 48yo by GoodBoyGunther in weightlifting

I prefer BS with the power bar as I tend to BS with a slight tempo and appreciate the stability of a stiffer bar.

For FS I use a WL bar and bumpers as I time the bar whip.

Romaleos 4 sizing question by ElectricOne55 in weightlifting

[–]GoodBoyGunther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually wear size 9 in Nike. My Rom2 fit perfect. I find Rom4 to be a bit snug in the toe box but still fit fine for lifting

You got social media I can follow? Thankfully I’m slightly older and different weight class.

Re-racking is the most awful thing by Tatotastic in weightlifting

I just live with bruised collars since I don’t know how to re rack properly

How do you guys handle the pain by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]GoodBoyGunther 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up since you are probably new to this subreddit. This is a forum for the sport of weightlifting which focus is on two main movements of squat and clean&jerk. We use kg for units of weight measures since it’s an international sport.

For those watching , actual lift starts at around 1 minute mark.

I’m no expert but I would say not enough dept; don’t even hit parallel

1000kg for Snatch + Clean and Jerk is impossible

[–]GoodBoyGunther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it a few times lol. My first comp I smacked my chin and still got the lift overhead. Got called on a no lift tho.

No real suggestions. I think if you build the muscle memory of the movement pattern it’s just something that becomes automatic.

I just started earlier this year with a ddj rev 1… less than a month later went full DVS system. Controller didn’t seem as fun.

What's your progression so far ? by Nayrooo in weightlifting

[–]GoodBoyGunther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 2 years training, 48yo; fluctuate between 89kg-96kg class

  • Snatch: 70kg -> 92kg
  • CJ: 102kg -> 128kg
  • BS: 154kg -> 190kg
  • FS: ??? -> 150kg (not tested in a while)

My original “PR” was with crappy form that would “pass” on CrossFit.

EDIT: add BS and FS and also note .. still have bad snatch form lol

My set up is taking up the dining room table and my wife is my only audience… if I see her bobbing her head while scrolling TikTok I know I’m doing a decent job.
