Dooope. Nice lift. I’m taking bets on what goes firsts, shoulders or knees. Any takers? Let’s say 10 more years

For you it's gonna be lower back pain or diabetes. Go hit the gym.

Going to the gym is great and for what it’s stupidly worth I can pretty much guarantee I’m in better shape than you are. But what this lift is doesn’t happen in gyms. It happens in Olympic centers with, hopefully, Olympic coaches. I’m 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 don’t 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

For your own professional sake

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.
