>mfw he doesn't do olympic lifting
What's your excuse, pleb?
>>41076914
crossfit gyms are expensive and the only place near here with actual oly coaching / bumper plates and oly bars
i want to get into clarence mode though just need to make more $$
I want to learn, but there are no Oly lifting gyms nearby :(

You can still do olympic lifts with metal plates
I've been thinking about joining my local club after summer Tbh
but then again, I'm 24 and I'll never be good anyway so I might just stick to powerlifting.

Why don't you just do it for fun? I recall a guy that was 38 years old won gold at the commonwealth games. Lower tier than olympics, but still.
>>41076938
Can't you get some second hand equipment and train from home?
>>41077187
With patience and some diligence, you could learn by yourself. Pretty sure that's what clarence did.

Well, powerlifting is fun too and I could possibly even make it to Europeans at some point.
"Starting over" kind of seems like a waste.
>>41077486
You could always maintain your while learning the lifts. You won't be starting from nothing as you'll have a strength base to tap into.
>>41077469
He did not, he's been a member of cork weightlifting club for like a decade.

Maintain your lifts*

>maintaining while only benching like 1-2 times/week
lel
And I mean, I would have to "start over" since I don't know how to do the lifts and can barely make a proper front rack position.
>>41077517
Benching would have to take a bit of a dive for sure, but your squat and pulling power could be kept at around what you are now.

well, I will have over summer to deliberate. As I said, I've been curious for a while, but still a bit hesitant to abandon powerlifting.
>>41076914
They're hard and I have no fucking clue how to do them.
I have no coach nearby for it either so unsure on how to learn them. Every time I watch a video on how to do the snatch/C&J and then try it in the gym I fail horribly.
>>41076914
ordered a pair the other day, anyone had any experience with them? are they any good?
Redpill me on the Romaleo 2s I'm going to order a pair soon. I have a wider foot if that matters.
>>41076914
It's fucking stupid. Most of you olyboo faggots are weak cunts that walk around on your fucking high horse because you can snatch 70kg and c&j less than your bw.
