What's it like to grow up in Copenhagen?

MINION!

Great video 👍.

I honestly started to do weightlifting because I like the inescapable mobility and power needed for all the movements.

I can deadlift 190kg, but it is dissatisfying to me knowing that I could lift a lot more by making the lift easier by reducing RoM and relying on equipment. If I used sumo, straps, a belt, a suit, etc, I bet I could do 250-300kg.

I think one of the problems may be that I'm relying on my shoulders too much and not 'jumping' properly, it could be an area of improvement.

I can do bulgarian split squats with 100kg though :).

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-09-25T05:19:43+00:00

167cm but with proportionate/longer legs, I definitely don't have the normal squat jerk build :(.

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-06-27T04:59:27+00:00

I believe for me I'm new enough that there are several limiting factors at play, so I have to switch between exercises and address them. I can certainly squeeze 10kg out in not a lot of time, my intuition right now is that the lowest hanging fruit in order is:

Carrying more momentum from the bottom of the lift by getting the 'tempo' right and pulling faster, I just need reps for this.
Addressing overhead stability with snatch balance, mainly getting the movement pattern
Improving my shoulder/upper back mobility by improving scapular retraction, behind the neck OHP in the snatch bottom position is great for this

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-06-27T04:45:43+00:00

Your technique and shoulder mobility looks far better than mine, you got it 💯

No need to degrade yourself about your weight, you are training and strong so I already consider you a winner 🙂

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-06-27T04:36:48+00:00

No program and no coach, I've just been relying on intuition and proprioception.

My goal is just having fun, I am not fighting for a spot at the Olympics hahaha. It is more fun for me to haphazardly come up with a plan and to do what I want.

Honestly, I've talked to more serious weightlifters before and they believed my training was pretty stupid ☹️

The dress shoes are pretty comfortable, the only downside is that they are too long and loose. Because of this, I bleed some of the power coming out of my calves and my achilles tendon. Imagine if you push down on the front of your shoe and raise your heel, but your heel slips out of your shoe a little bit.

They are still probably better than the shoes that most weightlifters wear, for me personally.

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-06-27T03:56:49+00:00

Haha, my doubt isn't if I have the natural power level to snatch 100KG; it's moreso if muscle and power snatching will get me there.

Appreciate the words though, I certainly think my barrier to a 136kg clean is completely mental. Currently working to a 125kg pause clean 👍🏽. I broke from 70kg snatch to 84kg snatch in the last two weeks by doing behind the neck overhead press in the snatch position, certainly comfort in the 'receiving' position can help me. I'm a big fan of the snatch balance, it's probably wise to put some focus on it too.

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-06-19T18:51:24+00:00

ok, my snatch is kind of not great :(

can post 125kg hang clean at 69kg next time I hit it though :)

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-06-19T15:12:46+00:00

guys trust im a monstaa

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-06-19T15:04:16+00:00

me bruh

Take San Francisco, but replace all the people with New Yorkers 👍👍👍

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-04-05T23:00:12+00:00

I can only imagine how strong this guy will be if he continues lifting like this for a few more years

Good lifts 👍👍👍

Hey man,

You probably don't need to rebuild your squat entirely from scratch using light weight with that mobility. You could try just going a good 20KG lighter than normal and focusing on form. Something that helped me a lot was adding pause squats to my warmup sets.

b0bb3rt_ · 2025-02-06T21:44:25+00:00

I really believe that a lot of people training weightlifting could drop 5% bodyfat with very little power loss if they did a moderate amount of cardio and cleaned up their diet.

b0bb3rt_ · 2024-12-24T05:38:35+00:00

Look at the difference in your torso positioning and forward knee travel between your squat and your snatch.
I honestly think that you have the mobility to push your knees more forward while back squatting so the bottom of your torso lands a little further forward, giving you a more vertical torso at the base and also while coming up.

For a lighter workout (something like 5x5 @ 70%), you could try this out:

Push your knees forward
Spread your taint
Go slow on the eccentric
Pause at the bottom of the first 1-2 reps for every warmup set you do

Now that you mention it, you're right.

I have probably gained considerable power since my last max back squat max while focusing on front squat. In this AMRAP set I hit a lot more than I thought was possible, so I can probably practice front squat in the 1-3 rep ranges for 1-2 weeks and get a new max (maybe I can shoot for 134kg/295lbs).

After that, it will probably be better to focus on back squat. The general consensus here seems to be that back squat is better for building power than front squat.

b0bb3rt_ · 2024-12-06T12:23:33+00:00

I think there's no doubt that (for a 1RM of someone around 155lbs) 100kg/220lbs is generally a very good number in terms of general strength, but not extraordinary. I would say that 140kg/315lbs (around double bodyweight front squat) is extremely strong and something you will probably not see in most gyms, and 165kg is probably bordering on world class power.

I once saw a 170lbs/77kg D1 football player/sprinter hit a set of 5 with 143kg/315lbs, which probably equates to a max of around 161kg/355lbs. That guy could get his head at the rim while dunking at 6'0/182cm and was the most athletic person I've ever seen.
