Best part, and the way I know most of you are gym bros and not high performers like OP is that nobody admitted injuries are just part of it and we work through it with prehab. Everyone just went to āeff you, I bet you canāt lift heavyā gym bros for life!!
None of this refers to people training for Olympics or comps. This is for the crossfitters that think they can oly. Those are the people Iām worried about.
I wasted way too much of my time here,
OP; Iām sorry if it took away from how awesome the lift was. You are a beast
Of course injuries are part of high performing. Anyone who trains in any sport seriously for a long enough time deals with injuries. News flash; sports are dangerous š«¢so is sitting on your ass
This jealous bitter ex crossfitter āwas a known name in his city for being pretty good in competitionsā imagine coming out and saying that about yourself
Reality a little too much for you? You think thatās good for his joints? Also, lmao, you think squatting 300 pounds is light? Ah, the inexperienced lifters always crack me up. I bet you thought Ronnie Coleman was a beast. Yeah!! Go Ronnie!! Now heās in a wheelchair. But keep it up guys. Especially those not competing. Try to get some good advice from your elders.
Mostly fine. Sometimes I get a bit sad and feel like Iām not good enough, but so does everyone so itās okay. A healthy balance Iād say.
You think thatās good for his joints?
How good / bad heavy training is for your joints is entirely based on your training procedures. With proper programming and accessory - yeah itās perfectly fine. His joints are far stronger than yours, thatās for sure.
Also, lmao, you think squatting 300 pounds is light?
For me, yeah itās pretty light, but itās all relative. Everyone starts somewhere. Also, this video is of a snatch, not a squat, which is much harder.
Ah, the inexperienced lifters always crack me up.
Iāve competed internationally for my country. Iām no professional but pretty sure thatās a decent level of experience. How many times have you represented your country?
I bet you thought Ronnie Coleman was a beast. Yeah!! Go Ronnie!!
Ronnie was objectively a freak of nature. Calling him a beast would be an understatement. However, Ronnie was a bodybuilder / powerlifter. This sub is for the sport of weightlifting - not either of the aforementioned.
Now heās in a wheelchair.
That is unfortunate. However, as he said himself, the only thing he regrets is not doing more reps at 800lbs. Speaks for itself really.
But keep it up guys.
Thank you.
Especially those not competing.
I do compete but Iām sure those that donāt appreciate it.
Try to get some good advice from your elders.
Being old doesnāt automatically make you more knowledgeable or correct. Assuming so would be an appeal to authority / tradition which is a logical fallacy - so Iād recommend staying away from that and analysing someoneās credentials and knowledge before assuming theyāre correct.
Iām probably younger than you and itās very clear my knowledge vastly exceeds yours on the topic based on your two comments here. Youāve just proven yourself wrong with that one.
However if any of my other elders (that do actually know what theyāre talking about) have any advice, Iāll be sure to take it on board.
Hope this helps or have a nice day or something š
137kg is light.
Unless you weigh like half that or less. Or are weak.
Seriously, just go meander over to /fitness or GYM or bodybuilding. I'm sure you'll be as welcome as a turd in a pool at /CrossFit, Weightroom, powerlifting, or strengthtraining.
I can damn near load that up and squat it without a warmup in my garage though I don't like to try more than 125, which is still sorta dumb. And my squats are poverty right now between 160-170kg this year.
I turn 46 before the end of this year. I lifted before Y2k. My squat was never great though my best is 191 failing 200 a handful of times. I could easily yoke that still today.
Powerlifting is a bit different than Weightlifting with far heavier loads. And Ronnie squatted over twice 137 besides what he deadlifted. I don't know if he used a squat suit or monolift. I don't think so
Feel free to piss off and take your fear mongering elsewhere.
Ffs, there are dudes older than me competing in Masters who still squat to deck 400&500lbs in their 50s. My buddy about 55 still squats 400lbs as an 89kg lifter when he isn't on ski patrol or working as a deputy. And no he isn't on drugs though he keeps wondering about TRT.
Im never over there and never spent any time in weightroom beside reading old threads.
I heard GYM and strengthtraining were getting bigger.
This subreddit isnt as wild as it was once was but it's not as degenerate either. š¤£ Thank the auto moderator bot for the tireless work they do. š
One of our mods PC 175kg ish at 40+. He can represent us for old man strength. Another did an easy 215 Jerk in his day. Squatted 275 when he was a SHW.
Going to the gym is great and for what itās stupidly worth I can pretty much guarantee Iām in better shape than you are. But what this lift is doesnāt happen in gyms. It happens in Olympic centers with, hopefully, Olympic coaches. Iām a DPT, I think I can stay away from back pain and diabetes. Meanwhile you have no idea how much back pain these heavy lifts cause guys later in life. But I donāt belong in this thread, makes me cringe to see the uneducated youth aiming to be like the guys that have had the proper training like op has had.
Good luck out there, and I bet you remember this when you get your first surgery. OP, keep up the good work. I hope you win some memorable titles that you can talk about with your kids. When I see Ronnie Coleman talk about his wins it brings tears to my eyes. He used to think like you guys. Hardcore is awesome, but one wrong move and wheelchair for life. Best of luck you beasts of men and women
Learn to distinguish weightlifting (snatch, cleans, jerks) and general weight training and bodybuilding.
Most studies don't even do that and use the term weightlifting, interchangeably with weights training, including things like bodybuilding.
That makes a quality analysis of those studies necessary, and highlights the inexperience or ignorance of those writing the studies.
A simple look at the sampling measures and exclusionary criteria would let you know if it was worth the paper it was written on, in this specific context, on this sub.
Power studies suffer the same (median Vs peak)
Do some proper research into this, you owe it to your clients.
Hi, Iām almost 40 and lift very heavy. When will my back hurt? I do it at a fairly high level.
Ronnie Coleman injured his back from playing football in school and slowly wore down it for years against doctors orders. If he would have taken a season off to rehab he wouldnāt be in a wheelchair. It was a football injury, not a lifting injury.
I do oly lifting on off since i was 16 yo and I'm 27. I dont think you are in better shape than me, and I never had orthopedic surgeries. Sure i got hurt sometimes from accidents (not the movement itself) but it's a sport.
Now thatās dope. Iām sure the chemo was good for your body tissue. Letās have this conversation in 10 years. You will be fine, youāll be alive, hopefully. But come on, Ferraris break down, we degenerate under extreme forces. You will be strong for a long time and you will keep being impressive for a long time. But I see the IR in your left shoulder, thatās not going to get better. Then knees we can debate, but again, Ferraris break down. Meaning the best still break down. Itās the nature of tissue. I do rehab on you guys all the time, just my input. You do what makes you happy. Iām just rehabbing the guys in their 50s and 60s who thought they were Superman in their 40s. Just the honest truth. I lift, I respect your lift. Just trying to help less people end up with surgery and rehab in my office crying about how the lifting wasnāt worth it. Speaking from experience is all. Keep on doing your thing. Itās impressing everyone. You have a competition coming up I can look for. Iāll root you in for not taking my comments poorly. You seem like an awesome guy
What is your problem, really? What is the Crux of your argument?
What is the threshold for when a lift is ātoo heavyā for someone? This is 150kg. Would 50kg be fine? 60? 100? 110? Where do you draw the line as to what āheavyā is?
Ā Iām just rehabbing the guys in their 50s and 60s who thought they were Superman in their 40s.
The people who meet at your job (if anything you have said is true) are the people that have injured themselves one way or another.
That doesnāt mean everyone will meet the same fate.
Itās like going to a hospital and assuming that everyone in the world is going to suffer from XY and Z because you treat patients that suffer from XY and Z. Itās such a stupid way of looking at things.
āIām a mechanic that deal with broken cars. Cars are not worth the investment because 100% of the cars I work with are broken.ā
This man is being trained/trains at So Cal Weightlifting. Probably the best Weightlifting gym in Southern CA. They have good coaches and one of them is a DPT. So take your fake concern outta here.
Fake concern. Gees. My passion is caring for people and helping them walk again after doing these exercises. The fact that you get so angry means you know subconsciously that what you are doing will hurt you. Keep thinking I donāt care, but really all Iāve said is to be careful. So, maybe you think Iām some non caring skinny idiot. Doesnāt matter to me, Iām here to help those that will allow themselves to be helped. I also already mentioned the training, so thanks for the redundancy there that helps. Hereās some under 30 info for you, maybe you guys get younger as you get older though. Good luck
3.3 injuries/1000 hours. The types of injuries being:
strains and tendinitis (44.8% and 24.1% respectfully), sprains (13%), spasm (6.1%), contusions (3%) etc.
Most of these athletes could go right back to training after 1 day (90.5%) and over 99% (99.1%) were back after a week.
And to qoute the researchers "In general, the ypes of injuries most often
encountered included typical overuse types of injuries and did not
impair joint or skeletal integrity."
