3 things you would do if you had to start over
When I started working out, I had NO idea what I was doing. I wish I could start over with the knowledge I have now, I would have made much better progress.
On this forum, I learn to trust more experienced lifters' advices.
I'm about to start olympic weightlifting soon. I found a coach who will teach 1x a week. The rest of the week, I'll be on my own.
If you had to start your olympic weighlitfting career, what would you do so you can make the best progress possible? Any advices to help a noob?
Explore one thing at a time, more deeply....
You can keep busy improving for along time with the olifts. Blessing and a curse-make it a blessing.
When you start exploring one thing, embrace your choice of focus, and keep track of your development in that area. I.e, for the first few months, you'd probably do well to have notes on starting position, body cues, or things that have helped your CONCEPTION and EXECUTION of the desired movement.
I mean, you'll learn new things about every area of the lifts(if you want to), but keeping good notes will help you progress and keep you from regressing.
