Are you sure? Some of the lifts look like you have to be pretty on point to not hurt yourself.
>Are you sure? Some of the lifts look like you have to be pretty on point to not hurt yourself.
It's impossible to hurt yourself as long as you are not moronic. You can always just drop the barbell and hop away. If your technique sucks and you are going for some ego lifts AND not drop it as soon as you realized you fricked up, only then you will hurt yourself.
I am completely self taught and train in a casual gym where everyone stares at me like some freak. But also a lot of people walked up to me to compliment me or ask for advice. You will get a lot of attention, be prepared. I am strong and look impressive, but my OLY lifts suck. I am currently on Torothkyi's free 13 week routine. And be also prepared for trap doms after your first session. The 'worst' and only injuries I got:
1. Jerking the barbell against my chin and breaking tiny bits of my teeth
2. Heavy bruising on collar bone from 'bar crashing' and the feeling of dislocation, but I got that under controll and did not need any medical supervision
3 Snatched the empty barbell against my forehead, you couldn't see anything, but it did hurt my feelings cause I always thought I was kinda smart
4. dropping the barbell on my shin and scratch myself a tiny bit (I always do a controlled drop, since we do not have a drop platform, so I slow down the drop with my muscles)
How to avoid these:
>learn about bar crashing
>always drop your weight
>remember that you got a head on your shoulders
im national champion of my country
get a coach (ideealy a good former weightlifter)
follow a program from coach or online
as a beginner train with main focus on technique, secondarily on strength and mobility
number one time is GET A COACH, only selv thought athlete that dosent suck i know i Clarence Kennedy. All other great lifters i know, national, regional champions have a competent coach. Learning the lifts correctly is the best way to be effective. i know lifters that could clean and jerk 210 while only squatting 220 because of their effectiveness in the lift

should have gotten a coach
what continent is your country
Europe
my coach is from the soviet school. Trained soviet records
Put me in the screenchost
You can coach yourself
Everything else is true
Strength training (read: 1/2/3/4) Is prerequusite
Weightlifting, or Olympic lifting, is the final destination, its where the money is
I train WL at a fairly notable club in the US
I would strongly recommend it if you like lifting itself and want to do more fun lifts than squat/bench/dead
I would not recommend trying to teach yourself if you want to be any good at it, a coach is extremely helpful for learning the movements
Another great thing about WL is training at a gym where everyone is working towards the same goal - it's very different than commercial gyms where everyone does their own thing and nobody talks to each other, I really enjoy the social aspect while also find it to be very helpful for both learning via observation and for motivating me to push hard.
It requires a lot of time and effort to start getting good but is extremely rewarding when you succeed
Thanks anon, I am going to start checking into it this week. Already found a local gym with some coaches. I have 1/2/3/4 down so hopefully that helps
Yeah being strong is really helpful and having barbell experience will make the learning process loads easier. Work on specific mobility like the overhead squat position and front rack position and you'll be good.

totally disagree as someone that lifts 146/182
post lifts then

very impressive, especially if you are self-thought as you say.
But you must not think that it's best to learn the lifts alone no? or are you totally anti coach
A coach is very useful if they are good. I would say a coach is equally as necessary in weightlifting as it is in powerlifting, that is to say not very necessary. All of the information you need is available. Only at the elite level is a coach really required. as a novice, intermediate or advanced lifter you can handle being self taught
I think your experience is really colored by being talented enough to reach the levels you have. The average man is unlikely to have the potential to exceed 100-120/120-150 and will very likely need a coach to reach it.
The overwhelming majority of people will do far better with a coach than without
It is not surprising that people who are major outliers in terms of genetic talent for the sport find success in self teaching; these people find success in the sport no matter what they do and in a way you can almost ignore their path to success
Regular people though will struggle much much more trying to manage their own programming and technical feedback, there is a reason why the overwhelming majority of experienced lifters will recommend a coach
Also is there any I should bring? do I have to wear specific shoes?
I've been training for 12 years, been doing weightlifting for three of them. It is by far the most fun I have ever had in my training. I started off with a coach, still do check ins with him but I don't actively see him any more. I would 100% recommend getting into weightlifting and 100% recommend getting a coach.
Especially if you're autistic, the technical aspect of the lifts and the history of the sport will be enough to keep you engaged and making progress
>where do you start?
by realising abnormally heavy stick isn't the most suited thing for human body because there is one plane of motion u can move WHILE ur hands are tied with it, actually it fricking sucks, benchpress will never give u pecs u want, deadlift will never build the back u want and squat is too technical for ur little moronic brain, nobody is doing highbar but weightlifters anyways and they do that in heels, don't get me started on ohp
NO, amateurs should not try to lift overhead ungodly amounts of weight, try empty bar and overhead squat first (awsome posture movement) careful though, even epty bar is deadly from 7 feet above ground
I am self-taught and my technique sucks and I can only power clean 90kg lol.
