I like Olympic lifts a lot. But I still lift for aesthetics and upper body growth too.
Thanks!

What's your squat? For how jacked your legs look I'd expect you to be doing 300+lb on C+J

Good lifts bro. I got a strong lower body genetic so I'd look like a ****ing clown if I completely neglected bench while training olympic lifting. There's my excuse for benching

Haha no I understand. My legs and arse are large too so I look awkward if I don't lift upper body too lol

Haven't maxed squat in a long time. I'd say around 300 I know it's weak. I have just recently been working with a really good coach and I expect my cleans to go up a lot within the next few months. Before I had rly chit form

I'm with the others. I didn't bother with the bench vids.

But I thought you did a great job on the CJs, man! Keep it up..


So tell me more about these bench and cj meets. Is this something that is becoming more popular in high schools in the US? If so, I think this is a great way to introduce Oly to the youngins. I think it's a good idea to include the bench in these meets from an Oly marketing standpoint.

Haha no worries. Thanks! Yea I know in Florida it's jus CJ and bench. Which I like because it's a good scale of lower and upper body strength. Cus squat is kind of hard to judge I think. Idk but I really like CJ and I plan to learn to snatch soon
