Work Man’s Olympic Weightlifting – The Case Against Perfection & In Favor Of The Military Press :

Today I made a talkie!

blue collar? yeah yeah yeah, technically red during filming

Show Notes & Related :
I don’t go for perfection, I use workable.
My setup isn’t ideal, it’s far from fancy.

Metal plates, a regular decent barbell – not a primo eleiko, just an affordable all around bar that will last forever – my platform particle board and a pair of rubber patio tiles.

My form looks horrendous, but I am not going to get hurt or injured by it, so again for me it’s workable.

I don’t bother doing technique work as in weightlifting I am a nobody, not minimally on the national championship stage.

I still do MY VERSION of weightlifting, mostly lots of presses off of a, singular, one clean.

It really put a pair of shoulders on me.
If you need shoulders – press, press lots, and might as well go old school, develop a hand balancing habit to go with it.

I enjoy lifting this way, my way.

This works for me.

I want to lift, therefore I do.
Facilities don’t factor in an iota.

Be the strongest nobody you can be.
Real world I thrive with this mindset.

though I had an admittedly higher technology level – “talkie” what an archaic term hehehe

Persistence & Tenacity
