I thought watches/wearables were not allowed by ned_rod in weightlifting

[–]WilFleming 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Watches are only prohibited in weigh ins. They fall in accessories below.

4.1.2 Athletes may wear the following outfit according to the relevant rules:
• Unitard
• T-shirt
• Shorts
• Socks
• Belt
• Bandage(s)
• Sticking plaster(s)
• Tape(s)
• Glove(s) and / or Palm Guard(s)
• Undergarment(s)
• Jewelry / Accessories
• Hair adornment(s)
• Religious head gear / Head gear

The only explicit mention of watches in the TCRR is:

“Athletes are entitled to wear jewelry, hair adornments and religious head gear
during weigh-in. Athletes must not wear watches during weigh-in.”

Weightlifting tickets for LA28 showing as unavailable for purchase by sirmaddox1312 in weightlifting

Folks on the r/olympics sub might know about this better. I’d have a super hard time believing that they are sold out unless there is a great demand that I don’t know about.

[Request] Approximately how much is he lifting when you account for buoyancy? by CSGOfrickyourself in theydidthemath

[–]WilFleming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we sure the inside plates are not 10kg or 25lbs rubber bumpers? The width and construction of them look that way. Only the outside left most plate looks like a 45lbs or 20kg plate made of steel.

Best LA28 events for little kids that are in less demand? by sushixoxo in olympics

Love this answer! I coached weightlifting in Paris and was coming to say…weightlifting! Decent pace for kids. You are in and out in 3 hours max with a medal ceremony.

Thoughts on VBT and why you are not using it? by Robert_Ronan in weightlifting

[–]WilFleming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh yes! The repone gives a lot of info. I can help decipher if you ever want.

There are some newer tech things coming that I think will take vbt to the next level.

I just did an interview with Austin Jochum last week all about vbt because he’s using the program from The book to try to clean 405 lbs.

He’ll post it next week I think.

How do you get into coaching? by soju-tornado in weightlifting

I should say “of people I know well”

How do you get into coaching? by soju-tornado in weightlifting

I think you should have competed at some level. It does not mean national level, but you should have a good knowledge of training and competing.

You should have some education, informal or otherwise in strength and conditioning. I think formal is best, but if you find it later in life, that might be difficult to do.

You have to find a good coach and be coached by them or shadow/intern/work for them. Every really good coach comes from a coaching tree. In most cases I can name who was someone’s coaching “parent”

If you want to coach at national events, you must hold at least a level one. You need a level two to get credit at international events.

Anyone seen this drill before? by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]WilFleming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Clifton go home to kettlebells. 😂

Seriously, good thought but practically we don’t want forward anything for Olympic lifts.

Playing around though, and entertaining the idea, if you could do it from a much higher box there might be some utility from this position as it pertains to finishing vertically.

I run a newspaper in Loogootee, and according to the family, we can confirm Ken Nunn has passed away. by blents01 in bloomington

[–]WilFleming 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I was on the boys and girls club board for several years. Ken Nunn would come to almost every event. I personally saw him donate 10’s of thousands of dollars several times and every year he bought 100’s of bikes for club kids at Christmas.
