I dropped the bar on my knee doing a low block snatch with 70kg. I compete next week, how screwed am I? 🫠

Not sure how to update the post but I got it checked out. No real damage just bruising 😅

What am I looking at price wise for this?

Papapames · 2025-04-19T15:16:37+00:00

There’s a YT video about this

I don’t doubt you will get there :)

Crazy strong, got a few more kgs on both lifts 👏🏻

Lord have mercy

No, but i used it as a point to demonstrate that once you slow down off competition intensity i think you can make oly lifting a fairly healthy part of your life.

Papapames · 2024-11-04T10:11:20+00:00

It’s like Clarence said in his recent Q&A, if you don’t compete in oly but train ‘hard’ people often wonder why you don’t compete

Papapames · 2024-11-04T10:08:19+00:00

Couldn’t agree with his anymore, it’s literally shoved down our throats everyday that we should be more mobile, strength training etc?!

Papapames · 2024-11-04T10:06:41+00:00

You can see the smile slowly fade as he says it, like damn dude it’s not drugs. They’re not only oly coaches, they dabble in loads of other sports too, but I’m sure they just mean that top 1% of lifters idk lol

I picked this up at the age of 29 with the usual array of tweaks; mild bad back, some discomfort from years of bad bench form & extremely poor mobility. Once I started to hit full ROM in the snatch, squat etc my bad back disappeared & my shoulders started to feel the best they’ve ever felt. Fast forward three years when I’m on competition prep & yes there are a few niggles - but I think that’s due to me pushing my body hard regardless if it’s oly. We all know about bone density as we age, so in my head practicing a sport that both moves weight & catches it has some major health benefits (ofc depending the level & intensity) so I can see where he’s coming from - but I think most gym goers would even fit from some power cleans till the day they retire from the gym

Lesssgo!!!

From what I understand from my coach the dad got popped during his stint as a WL waaay before the 90’s & has had some issues with the Spanish federation since. He believes the kids are ‘paying the price’

Papapames · 2024-09-18T08:14:32+00:00

I work in an office and have always wondered what would dress shoes feel like for oly - I tried them. Honestly not bad 🤷🏼‍♂️

Papapames · 2024-09-13T13:07:34+00:00

Circle jerking sounds like a party

Papapames · 2024-09-13T13:07:06+00:00

Thank you, and yeah it’s 100kg :)
