Thought this was a Kris Dim thread.
Im not too sure what the big hype is about doing all these olympic type lifts. Most people dont know how to accurately perform these exercises.With that said, I primarily use machines and plate loaded equipment.
I think since Crossfit became popular, many try these lifts, but they take training and experience.Lots of people getting hurt these days thx to lifts they see on Social Media and the like.
yes, I agree. These crossfit places teach these lifts as if they are easily done. Poor form and leads to injury.
It could just as easily been another Hankins thread
It's not a full blown "Olympic" lift, but high pulls just make me feel so much "healthier" after I do them. I don't really get any endorphin rush from most lifts or from running, but I always feel great after high pulls. Also upright rows make me feel good most of the time( a similar movement pattern), but I really only get a "healthy feeling rush" from high pulls.
I knew a kid who was an Olympic lifter........always worked on form with a broomstick or an empty bar.When he loaded the bar he was stronger than Hell and his form was impeccable..... and his squat number was insane.Same old story......too many idiots in the gyms these days that know jackshit.
